Commuters finally have a way to get into the city

Cincinnati got this one right

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.

A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”

That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.

I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

I went out to lunch with Mitch McConnell today. It was quite irritating he kept answering his phone to have 20 minute conversations.

He didn't even touch his chicken caesar salad. My club sandwich was pretty good though.

Gonna be vulnerable here and say that $3400 for a vacation is not that crazy 😭

@U_arctos Hell yeah! That structure is really cool and the Lunken park is nice too!

[Safe Street Rebel @SafeStreetRebel]

if this succeeds, it’ll be the first time in recent US history that a city converts a park into a road, a major step backwards.

Thankfully it’s unlikely to happen, bc Sunset Dunes is a super popular park!

Coney Island. Cincinnati. 1920s.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The top 50 mega-donors already spent over $1.3B on the midterms.

Only 20% of that is for supporting Dems.

9 of the top 10 mega-donors are supporting Republicans.

Last cycle, Elon Musk alone spent $290M supporting Trump and Republicans.

But you wouldn’t know that by reading the Republican-billionaire-owned NY Post.

This is what a system rigged for fascism, backed by propaganda, looks like.

How much billionaires spend in an election isn’t a conversation that should be had in a Democracy — it’s time to overturn Citizens United.

I struggle with this.

This is the child population of the state of california.
It has declined 8% since covid.

The rate of decline is not slowing, last year matched covid's level of decline.

I live in california and I have a child here.

My neighborhood is old. My neighbors are old.
He wont have any kids to play with if I stay here.
The school down the street might close.

What was once a family neighborhood, in a suburb of LA, is turning into an episode of golden girls.

I love my neighbords, nice and kind people.

But they all raised their kids here.
Now I am the only person raising kids here.

More than taxes, more than crime, more than the endless fires- this is what makes me want to move back to texas.

What is a city without kids?

This is California's biggest failure.
Richest state, with the best weather, with the best sceneries, with the best companies.

And they cant keep people here.

4 decades of horrible housing policies.
I dont care if my house is worth less.
Build more, so my kid doesnt have to be the only kid in his class.

Cincinnati Union Terminal is one of the greatest train stations ever built in the United States.

[Rohin Dhar @rohindhar]

Noteworthy about this editorial from the San Francisco Chronicle about the urgent need to build housing in San Francisco

Is there isn’t really any solution proposed and it’s already resigned that no new housing is coming to San Francisco during the AI boom

It mentions a few very marginal proposals that have already been shelved for being “giveaways to developers” who aren’t interested in building in San Francisco anyways

Even in an an editorial where you can propose fantasy idea for building housing in San Francisco, there isn’t one

250 years building a space shuttle of a country, only to put two retarded chimps in the cockpit.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

@allTheYud I thought they were weird already?

[bear 🚲 @U_arctos]

sry for being so annoying about connected communities. just can't stand all the hyperbolic nonsense about such a benign, beneficial policy change. if u want exclusively single family zoning, there are plenty of suburbs & HOAs to choose from 👋

[whennameisrequired @mcfinneys]

@JoshJunker2 Jesus how depressing.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

Just to be clear, without any oral briefs or hearing, the Supreme Court just allowed the executive branch to dismantle a department created by Congress. In a shadow docket. No nothing. The admin said they are wrecking it actually but not officially. And scotus says okey dokey
