-citizen, do you know your Gestapo from your Sipo? Your SA from your SD? Your Waffen SS from your..
Bixi in Montreal adding trailers has been a great start too, but yeah bike share systems should add cargo bikes to their fleets, and make them available at docks near big box stores

The professionally norms of legacy journalism make it totally ill-equipped to accurately describe present-day reality, example no. 34^10:
New York Times reports that it is unclear whether having a federal agency accept money in excess of congressional appropriations "violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations." I guess we'll never know!

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago.

masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets.

this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*
Video from witness here from the moment CBP gassed neighbors who had gathered outside after the kidnapping.

Agent rolls a canister at the crowd out of the window of their car as they reverse away from people with whistles and bikes.

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

Auto loan debt recently surpassed student loans as the second-largest consumer debt category in the U.S., trailing mortgages. Americans owe a record $1.66 trillion in auto loan debt, up 20% since 2020.

The average monthly payment on a new car is now $754, up from $570 in 2019.

It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902.

The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.

Some AI experts told me it looks like Grok's been given a restricted list of sources when talking about subjects where Elon wants it to give a specific answer. So I asked Grok to give me a list of researchers on cognition and heritability and it spit out total bigots and pseudo-scientific cranks

Dodger Stadium's parking lot is so big that it could fit an additional 10 Dodger Stadiums.

People think that families were displaced out of Chavez Ravine in the 50s in order to build the stadium, but it's technically more accurate to say that they were displaced to build the stadium's parking lots.

We need a deprogramming effort aimed at rurals. Maybe like specials on Scratch Off tickets if you audit a higher ed course on critical race theory. I'm just spitballing.

The memory of Harvey Milk remains a powerful rallying point for San Francisco Democrats. But based on his polling in this exurban Arkansas jet ski dealership, they might want to reconsider. My latest for The Argument.

After a lengthy period of difficult reflection, I have reluctantly decided to endorse my own party’s nominee. Despite being overwhelmingly popular with voters, I will be extremely careful to frame my endorsement using bad faith language cribbed directly from their opponent’s attack ads

This should be seen as what it is: a huge step towards ending free and fair elections.

This is what LA politicians would rather be doing instead of building housing near transit. Just a disgraceful failure of leadership.
LA is building a new $1.5 billion freeway into LAX.

The very same airport where we just spent $2 billion on the people mover — actually, more like $3 billion, plus another $900 million if you count Metro's investment in the LAX station; so let's just say $4 billion — to make cars go away

A civil attorney who Trump enthusiast Lindsey Halligan brought in to prosecute the Letitia James case screwed up his initial appearance and the court had to give him step-by-step instructions about how to save a PDF.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.
