Important update to the stickerscape of my car ✌️

"If you're conservative, they want you to spend 20% of your income on a car. It's a waste of money, and deadly. 42K people die every year from traffic violence. Car dependency makes you unhealthy, depressed and anti-social. It turns you into a paranoid, aggressive, anxious misanthrope."

Special place in hell for the solo traveler who hunkers down in a four person booth at the airport Shake Shack.

Think speed cameras are a cash grab? Well, you can stop speed cameras from grabbing your cash with this one neat trick!

Love this as a “what government does” story - a factory that raises 20 million sterile screwworms weekly and drops them across the border to South America!

I don't think it's great that a kid was hit by an e-bike, but someone getting hit by another road user and walking away with rather minor injuries is a Vision Zero success story. Meanwhile, neither of these people care that much about entire families who are wiped out by cars.

DEAD (I just saw it with Milo and her; she was perfection, god I’m so sad I can’t go back. 13 hive rise.)

it's unfathomably messed up that the president of the United States is using the power of his office to go after a single high school kid.

In (I want to say) Ghost Protocol there’s the scene where he updates Simon Pegg on the mission and as I was watching I just dissolved in laughter because I imagined him sitting and taking the time from all the spy stuff to put together his little holographic PowerPoint presentation

I know it’s easy to just get grandparents dumb stuff with pictures of your kids printed on it every year for Christmas, but consider there’s a 1-3% chance their house will end up a graveyard of your kid’s deadname.

This is a thing that you seemingly cannot get in Southern California and I just want to ask: why? God it’s so good.

This is legit, because I grew up sort of oblivious to this due to my weird media habits and being in between cultures, so when I belatedly encountered conventional masculinity, it just seemed like a list of ways of using violence to ensure you never had feelings or experienced fun. Or felt sexy.

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

New character!

I am begging for a Hollywood movie or TV writer to make something that features realistic 'artificial intelligence'

My Capra journey has reached It Happened One Night, and my God, is this movie good from frame one. It's amazing how modern it feels despite _essentially inventing the romantic comedy_.

"Denouncing Biden’s run now ⁠that he’s a political nonentity⁠—out of office and perhaps very near death⁠—isn’t taking a brave stand against the internal culture of the Democratic Party. It’s a reflection of it"

Literally was just speaking about his yesterday; he was Edna for the majority of the time I worked at Hairspray (at the merch stand) and he never called out; we only saw his understudy for one scheduled week. Never met him but everyone seemed to love him.

The problem with a "left Joe Rogan" is that young people want to be cool and nobody thinks the Dem Party is cool. So the "left Joe Rogan" would either a) shit all over Dems or b) be dismissed as uncool.

Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act. A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.

Nothing is more mother-in-law than her saying “Do you want some wine? I think you’ll really like it.” and she pulls out a double size bottle Yellow Tail’s Jammy Red Roo that’s been sitting open on her kitchen counter for at least a week.

I’ve noticed a lot recently that people are holding up songs they’re hearing for the very first time to songs they’ve heard at least fifty times and saying “oh it’s just not as good” and it drives me crazy.

DYING!

The whole “trans people are sin eaters for cis male sexual predators” phenomenon is rarely this stark

What possible justification

This girl could make big money acting like a huge fucking crybaby loser and she'd rather do the right thing, hell yeah

Wild news about airing “Good Night, and Good Luck” live the night before it closes — *and* I absolutely love that this release uses the word penultimate, and that no one dumbed that down.

i'm losing it

This Grok stuff is perhaps the most dystopian thing I've seen in a long while and there's a lot of competition

My hot take: changing the name to Max was a reasonable way to not have the HBO brand name diluted by association with 100 seasons of House Hunters Diluting the content offerings with so many bad reality shows was the initial misguided decision

In the Jagged Little Pill musical they assume that taxicabs don't exist anymore so instead of "hailing a taxicab" they sing "and the other hand is... aww, shit" and I HATE IT, it makes me RAGE, but it's also probably what I'm feeling like today.

Just watched Voyager’s “Distant Origin” and ughhh I’m watching Star Trek to escape from reality, not get depressed by the rigidity of space dinosaur doctrine!!!

The LAPD posts a net loss of $3.3 billion a year every year! But sure, we're gonna talk about the U.S. Postal Service instead

We are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. Commuter rail, we are often told, operates at a loss. But we spend even more on street and highways, and take in little direct revenue from them. Yet no one ever says they are operating at a loss.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

When people talk about how easy it was to buy a house in earlier generations, they always overlook *what kind of house*

BREAKING: Federal judge in Vermont orders that Rumeysa Ozturk be released from detention "immediately" and on her own recognizance with no travel restrictions. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
