Funny how there ain’t nobody out here deadnaming the pope

Capitalism assumes infinite growth, which is, and hear me out: fucking idiotic

How long until Trump takes credit?

I have heard a LOT of ant-government sentiment in my life, but never once have I heard anyone say anything about the FAA. Nobody dislikes the FAA The anti-regulation simpletons in charge of the federal government are making an excellent case for regulation

The end of the reign of cars has begun and there's no stopping it. It will be slow at first, then all at once

Remember the German tattoo artist who was detained for no reason for 45 days by US Border Patrol? The Berliner has a great interview with her www.the-berliner.com/politics/ber...

This is what leadership looks like: Zelensky posing for a photo with Ukrainian cleaning ladies working in the Czech parliament

London's Low Emission Zone has reduced sick leave by 18.5% It's almost like cars are bad www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Critical thinking is a threat to fascism

I’ve been collecting notes for a thing for a while and now that I’m actually writing it and I see there are ‘tabs’ in Google Docs where I can have multiple documents in the same document and I know nobody cares but honestly I’m ecstatic about the possibilities

How have I never seen this Smart Car commercial? It's perfect!

8 days, apparently. Narcissists are so predictable

Cities are anti-fascist and a threat to their entire worldview

Capitalism is incompatible with the future. Which means it’s compatible with evangelicals and other people who don’t value life

Congestion pricing has very quickly turned into an environmental justice issue. Why should just Manhattanites benefit?

In case you had forgotten about the slow and sneaky passage of time, I just got a facebook memory from 20 YEARS AGO

Reaganesque

Is taking an enormous dump a point of pride for toxic men? Do they consider pooping (like everything else) to be a competition, and that we should be intimidated by their prowess? Is that why Trump kept announcing he had to flush multiple times? Men are too cringe to lead

How long until Trump says he should be the pope?

Despite its complexities, I am still amazed at the volume of mucus the human body can create

Some things never change

I haven’t owned a car in seven or eight years but I still get junk mail ads for car insurance. Motornormativity is so pervasive that it's cheaper to send car insurance ads to every address than find out if anyone at that address actually owns a car

Matriarchy

Americans who say they love freedom but don’t want freedom for everyone actually love privilege

Maybe the Great Filter is toxic masculinity

Everyone reading this is tied for second place globally in the “who has offed the most US presidents” category

One of my favorite things about the internet is being able to watch the seasons change *in real time* at different latitudes

All it wants is a little more sun 😞

I'm on electric train at night full of laughing teenagers who are all going home safely. The train was designed in Switzerland, made in the US, and the riders are from every ethnicity I can think of. This is what a healthy society looks like. Don't let anyone tell you it's impossible 🥹

They had autonomous electric cars in Jurassic Park and nothing bad happened. I’m sure we’ll be fine

The only good algorithm is the YouTube algorithm, because it frequently feeds me exactly what I didn't know I wanted Today's dish is Country Gongbang: youtu.be/VchXm5wSL2o?...

The world’s richest people added $304 billion to their combined net worth after Trump pledged to pause tariffs for some countries. It was the largest one-day jump ever.

This is what Leadership looks like. Also I am just learning about The Coalition of the Willing, "a coalition of 31 countries which have pledged strengthened support for Ukraine against Russian aggression." I wonder why the US isn't part of this? 🤔

Did car and oil execs write this?
