“The US has an estimated 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sun, generating nothing, absorbing heat, and contributing to the urban heat island effect in every city they're in.
A 2023 analysis estimated that covering existing US parking infrastructure with solar canopies could generate enough electricity to power roughly half the country.”
Mamdani’s sole bit of campaigning against Dave Portnoy would be walking up to a podium and saying “my opponent is from Boston” and he’d instantly win 90% of the vote
The richest country on Earth: where a 245-mile trip between major cities means choosing between a $500 flight or a 6-hour train ride. Sure am glad we haven't invested in fast trains!
What’s mad is that this is exactly the sort of Enid Blyton–ass schoolkid summer antics of an imagined idyll-gone-by that you see prelapsarian Little England boomers pretend to be nostalgic for on Facebook

Back when I worked for the department of transportation it was no secret that our building maintenance, down to the assembly of our cubicles, was done by prisoners. Slavery is legal today it’s called the prison system
NYPD Inspector Jeremy Scheublin finally turned himself in today (at the NYPD precinct he once led) to face a rape charge, months after he was accused of rape by a fellow NYPD cop.

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.

He's building a massive WH bunker, firing election officials, demanding voter rolls, and wants to create a permanent way to block access to the WH. If I was a conspiratorial sort, I'd be connecting some dots that don't end well for democracy.
