Its always funny to bring up federal tax revenue per capita. 9/10 the top states are solid blue. The bottom is mostly red

Its funny, outside of the DC metro gov, federal workers are mostly in very red rural areas. Broadly speaking feds are in rural areas and/or near military bases (keep in mind 1/3 of feds are ex-military).

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Apparently, compared to a Cybertruck, the Ford Pinto actually looked good, and was 17 times less likely to burst into a deadly fireball.

“A new analysis by independent automotive blog FuelArc suggests that fire fatalities are 17 times more likely in a Cybertruck than in the infamous Ford Pinto — the posterchild deadly cars if ever there was one.”

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

In November, one of my son’s daycare teachers was struck by a driver of a truck as she crossed the street. The driver didn’t stop at the 🛑. Perhaps more infuriatingly, the city of Hyattsville had recently re-designed the intersection & identified the need for a crosswalk but didn’t install one. 🧵

The worst if you also live on N, S, W, or E st. And then sometimes your address magically changes to North, South, West, or East street. So your address becomes South St Northwest and your Uber driver’s GPS loses its mind.

I love how California ‘environmental’ law is really so anti-nature, we have to get rid of it to approve pro-nature policies.

a very funny eye opening experience many people have had about how the cops actually operate is this "hey i have a tracking beacon on this stolen item that shows exactly where it is can you arrest the guy who stole it?" and the cops go like "lol no that sounds like a lot of work"

TIL: my wife’s rear ebike wheel assembly weighs more than my entire road bike does. Also, it apparently requires cutting a zip tie to remove from the bike.
