A peaceful Sunday morning shattered by displays of power during the Coffee & Cars event, sponsored by the Solano Ave Association. The driver of a souped-up lime green Mercedes just circled the neighborhood, revving its engine so loudly that several car alarms were activated. It was 8:30am, BTW."

Strange how any negative framing of auto culture is automatically anti-car & radical yet the billions of dollars spent on violent car ads and auto first infrastructure isn't framed as anti-pedestrian, anti-bike, anti-transit, anti-person, anti-senior, anti-child or anti-planet.

When Trump tries lying that he's never heard of people he works with and the plans they produce, as he has many times, why don't reporters immediately follow up by asking about the memory problems he just admitted to, and if he's doing anything to compensate for the cognitive decline?

That this is coming from not a single writer, but the entire Haaretz editorial board, pubbed in both English and Hebrew, is a tremendous deal. (Yes, it’s later than many of us would wish and not using strong enough language yet AND STILL.) (Haaretz is in Israel what NYT was, well, once.)

You guys, my kid just discovered a whole book of poems in French that, when read in French, sound like mother goose rhymes in English (but said with a heavy French accent). They are grammatical in French! 😵‍💫 The one below is Humpty Dumpty. This is depraved and wonderful. I love/hate it.

Haaretz editorial staff, as a consensus statement, say that the IDF is carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Affirming that the Generals Plan from Giora Eiland, in line with the demand from the Kahanists, is expelling, starving and annihilating all Palestinians in northern Gaza.

US media isn't covering it, but at COP16 the Union for the Conservation of Nature released an updated Red List, warning that 1 in 3 species of trees worldwide are at risk of extinction. So let's keep adding vehicle lanes, preserving parking, and blocking bike lanes. www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

How did this happen? Simple. Morgantown, WV mandates that all restaurants build 1 parking space for each 100sqf of floorspace + 1 space for each employee. That olive garden is about 10 000sqf. So that means they were forced to build >100 parking spaces!

The children born the year Prop 8 banned marriage equality in California still aren’t high school sophomores. That’s how fucking recent this is. The idea that there’s significant room on the left that Kamala Harris doesn’t already inhabit is brain worms territory.
