Yankees and sleep

@dilanesper It's no different than men's obsession with Hitler documentaries and air disasters, but, because it's women, it's a Societal Problem whereas with men it's just How Men Are. Women like interpersonal stories. That's it.

@johnpturtl78345 @realDailyWire Freedom from abuse and exploitation is winning. And some of us actually know how to spell pyrrhic!

@DietCoke76 @realDailyWire Tell that to the men who spend all day golfing on the weekends, don't lift a finger at home, and cheat on their wives. Selfish men cause divorce.

[Ella @lausomelaura]

@realDailyWire Matt Walsh isn't advocating against "divorce." He's advocating against abusive men losing their slaves. He doesn't give a shit about women and children's lives, just that all men have a slave at home.

@ericgoldwyn @johnarnold Believe it or not, you can talk about anything at any time.

@wsbtv Rescued from a drowning, you mean. Drowning is a process. The process can be stopped with intervention.

@DontDoctrine @CaryW66 @BarndoLife I have this setup. It's awful.

[Ella @lausomelaura]

@BarndoLife A proper home needs two living spaces. Hacks.

[Ella @lausomelaura]

My algorithm keeps showing me custom house plans and I am befuddled at all these 2000-3000+ sq ft CUSTOM houses with only one living space. Are people ok?

[Ella @lausomelaura]

Also super interesting how X no longer includes the reported tweet in the email when they tell you no violation took place, so you can't immediately see which rape threat or which person using slurs they're protecting.

[Ella @lausomelaura]

Crazy how X is full of men justifying and threatening rape, but the second you say something back, your account is banned.

The final active member of the World Series champion 2009 Yankees has officially retired

An incredible career for David Robertson

[Mike Salvatore @MikeSalvatore10]

I'll never know a worse sports heartbreak than watching the Yankees lose Game 7 of the 2001 World Series.

Did you know that New York is the only major city in the world which still maintains a large, active piped-steam system? Every other city either got rid of theirs ages ago or never built one.

One of NYC's most fantastical qualities

None of the 52 players on world series rosters share a birthday

[Ella @lausomelaura]

Way too many people in Georgia don't understand that the "town" in addresses relate to the assigned post office, not the municipality the address is located within.

[Ella @lausomelaura]

@YuriyATL @RedDev1995 @JayCuda They are located in unincorporated Cobb County. Truist Park is not within the city limits of Atlanta. The mailing address refers to the post office location.

So when are the green kitchens with gold finishes going to go out? It's getting boring.

[Ella @lausomelaura]

I've been saying for years that perception has affected MARTA expansion to suburbs. MARTA looks like the subway. If it looked like LIRR/NJT/Metro North, it would probably be accepted, especially with so many northeasterners who've moved to ATL.

[Chris Arnade 🐢🐱🚌 @Chris_arnade]

Sorry, but this is missing the point. There is an activation energy, especially in the US, needed to get people to ride a bus or subway, and disorder on public transport is a massive turn-off, even if it is statistically rare. (It's also just not crime, but anti-social behavior, and filth)

Mothers with children need to feel 100% safe, and pleasant, to get rid of the "ick factor," and if that doesn't happen, then it goes from thriving to withering, and it becomes seen as a charity for the least well-to-do and a few transit geeks like myself.

Public transport has a good self-fulfilling path and a bad one, and the perception of complete safety is necessary (but not sufficient) to be on the good path, where more riders means more lines/frequency, which brings in more riders, etc.

This is especially true outside of NYC or DC, although it is still true there.

I agree, frequency is paramount, but I can tell you that also means (from lots of experience) sometimes you are close to alone on a bus, and that is rarely a good feeling in the US, where crime is high, especially for woman.
