check out this 🔥 essay from 1973 which already makes all of the same points we are making about how hollow and undesirable a car-dependent society is.

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

We need to nuance this post by looking at who gets hurt. The deaths linked to older drivers in the post below are disproportionately the older drivers killing themselves; whereas younger drivers disproportionately kill their passengers and other road users

Man this measles exposure map is so depressing to me as a mom--it's not just a map, it's a timeline of two parents panicking as they realize just how sick their baby is. This is a solid hour and a half of frantic driving. All bc some irresponsible person infected an infant too young to be vaccinated

thinking about how Kneecap, at their Seattle show, said 'I mean what's a name like Seattle anyway, is that French?' and multiple people in the crowd were like 'It's Duwamish' and the irony of them not knowing that was absolutely not lost on anyone

It is bad that I knew enough about Goya/Unanue to actually predict exactly where this ended up. Unanue has been on this beat for a while.

One thing I’ll tell you that you learn real quick going to Harvard is that the set of people who are truly brilliant geniuses and the set of people who arrive freshman year extremely convinced that they’re going to be the next visionary (in any field) are almost completely non-overlapping

I just learned that “Dancing on My Own” is one of David Byrne’s favorite songs, and it makes me love the performance so much more. A singer that legendary getting to fanboy out on stage for one of his favorites is so touching.

We had to Fedex a handful of our wedding invitations to Turkey to be distributed by my fiance's parents because we can't trust the Turkish postal service to receive and send them. It cost us $200. For a lot less, we mailed >60 invitations domestically, to Ireland, the UK, and Switzerland via USPS.

Horrible. Vehicular violence like this - a hit-and-run with multiple major injuries in the middle of a walkable part of town - is a scourge on our cities. Hoping these folks are ok, and this driver is caught quickly.
