After decades of pretending The Left has been censoring things by writing "this character is a bit problematic" on tumblr, it is now just accepted that conservatives are going to throw a massive tantrum that should be listened to (just capitalism) every time a black person appears on screen

Capitalists of the world unite. You have everything to lose, especially your supply chains.

Sadly for us, the historical overview of the preceding historical era was at least two chapters ago.

My ma was a big Diane Keaton fan.

She told us how when Barbara Walters asked Keaton if she owned any skirts, Keaton said "I own one skirt and ill wear it to your funeral". I'm sorry we didn't get to see that happen.

Hope i got the details right. RIP!

My ratatouille rat is making me fight someone else also controlled by a ratatouille rat

Me and the other guy have no beef, only the rats are enemies
and we have no idea why. While punching with limbs no longer our own, we lock eyes with mutual grief and compassion, forgiving whoever kills the other

We’ve known this since the days of Robert Moses.

Good public transit creates transit riders.
New highways create drivers.

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

It’s unfortunately not uncommon for pedestrians to be killed by cars in the US.

Technological determinism has to be the dumbest way to think about technology.

They've been doing it on social media for years. Why would anyone argue they wouldn't continue that?

Transitioning from soft climate change denial (the economy and the environment go hand in hand) to "fuck them kids let the decarbonized oil flow"

Many other areas of improvement needed from the Province, though.

In the early 00's when I started following sports, gambling was this a fringe thing that everyone knew went on, but didn't talk about that openly because of various laws. It would often be suggested well, it's already happening, what's so bad about legalization? All the scolds turned out correct.

I'd be terrified too if I suddenly oversaw an organization of thousands of employees and my understanding of the organization was "everyone is working totally in isolation from everyone else and does not talk to one another or report to anyone except for me."

Do Bari Weiss and Elon Musk know about these things called "middle managers"?

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 1d

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

We'll see how it evens out over the course of the year, but Montreal's statistical overperformance there makes a lot more sense given that in the first period, the Wings gave up a procession of 2 on 1s and breakaways (I counted about 7) that turned into 3 goals. Rest of the game was garbage time.

Probably not a good thing that Clinton is the least psychotically pro genocide of this trio.

max tani @maxtani.bsky.social · 2d

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).
