I wrote about a New York judge who tried to get out of jury duty and accidentally got out of his job Turns out saying you're not impartial and think everybody who appears before you is guilty is *checks notes* bad, and *puts finger to earpiece* not good ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

Democracy depends in part on people who refuse to comply with unlawful (and/or unethical) orders.

Not surprising. Bureaucrats on the one hand don't have to stand for elections, and on the other are about as not-in-it-for-the-glory as you can get. They're there because they really give a shit about this.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like. static.politico.com/b3/3e/5baf92...

Over 600 Chicagoans turned out for today's Indivisible strategy session. Key take homes: do not obey in advance, hold your reps at all levels accountable, target communities lead--we support, and figure out how to make the work fun because we're in for a long haul.

A very good problem: having to open up the overflow rooms when so many people join Indivisible Chicago to plot and plan how we’ll work together to fight back against the new administration. #worthfightingfor #indivisible

This is absolutely true - I am in management - and it's really fucking annoying. I don't actually want to be bad at this, but there's very little mechanism for learning how to do it and what mechanism there is winds up really inflected by the teacher's philosophy in a way that is ... often unhelpful

Once again I propose that we replace all instances of "defund the police" with "the fuck are we paying these guys for"

We took 100+ hours of footage of Lexington Ave in Manhattan, capturing some 75,000 vehicles before and after congestion pricing started, and found the drop in vehicles appears to be coming entirely from fewer personal cars. Also no change in avg car value. Congestion pricing is working (for now).

400,000 more people rode the NYC subways in a single day and it was barely noticeable. the equivalent population of Tampa piled into transit and it was a blip. almost like transit is a more efficient mode of conveyance than automobiles

A man in Indiana made an AT-AT costume for his horse, intending to only get a few pictures before removing it. When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume

I have experienced some scary things on the subway, both pre and post COVID. I have also experienced scary things as a driver and pedestrian in Manhattan. The city cannot choke on the fumes of fear.

one of the better TV shows of the last decade is literally centered around a book called "What We Owe to Each Other" and, as a hint, the answer is not "nothing"

This was so, so obvious when I was in the UK last summer. I was last there in 2016 and the ambient increase in the availability of quality food this time around was wild. I've always liked English food, so I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about, there was an independent coffee shop
