Very, very rarely, the societal benefits of institutionalizing somebody outweighs the downsides

I’ve been asked many times by media to comment on these kinds of nightmarish mass casualty attacks in other cities, and what it means for security & design in public life. It’s always hard to say something useful when you’re shocked, devastated and outraged.
It’s beyond that, when it’s your city.

At least 9 murdered and more injured by a driver using an SUV as a murder weapon at the Vancouver Lapu Lapu Filipino street festival.
These kind of horrible attacks are not just on people — they’re attacks on civic life.
We regulate guns in Canada, but we must accept that cars are just as deadly.

FINALLY now these are views that would get me to subscribe to a substack. Crispy cheesed-up edges with a more generous, less sweetened sauce and a crust bread-y enough to keep up with it? ✅✅✅💪💪💪

As a matter of policy & belief in the American project, elected Dems are absolutely failing.
But as a matter of politics, elected Dems are somehow also absolutely failing.

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.
