This year’s U.S. Presidential Election is going to be so much harder to ever really understand than the election in 2016, mainly because #KamalaHarris is such a better candidate than #HillaryClinton was, and 2024 Trump is such a worse everything than 2016 Trump was.

If you are exposed to a bat GET THE RABIES VACCINATIONS. Even if you "don't think it bit you". If administered quickly after exposure, your chances of getting rabies is almost zero. Once you show symptoms of rabies, you are almost certain to die from it.

One mistake urbanists often make is arguing with people when they say they NEED their car for, frankly, whatever. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t, but I find the more effective point is that, if they have to or want to drive, it’s in their best interest that their neighbours can CHOOSE to NOT drive.
