The GOP is entering the “finding out” phase of gerrymandering. By the same metric, Dems got almost 40% of the vote in Utah and currently hold zero congressional seats due to gerrymandering

From a human perspective, I feel for these athletes. They worked their whole life to be at the Olympics, and now their country is very unpopular around the world. But their discomfort pales against the suffering this administration has caused within and outside the U.S.

Italians Mad at Food, update: 6 of the 7 adults at tonight’s dinner had lasagna and salad on the same plate. Guess who was the only one who didn’t do that!?

Italians mad at food, Feb 3 edition: I know it’s irrational, but I can’t stand it when Americans add salad to a plate that has pasta on it. The two simply don’t go together, and you can eat one after the other

Spreading out the legislative session over three mini-sessions will increase my blood pressure three times a year (albeit for a shorter time) vs one (but longer). Not sure what's better for my health, but I assume one but longer

If you’re a parent driving near your kids elementary school, why are you driving recklessly? I can’t imagine having so much disregard for your community

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

I almost got hit by a driver in front of my neighborhood’s elementary school. He didn’t stop as he was exiting the school property despite a tight turn and big stop sign. I’m of course in favor of all traffic calming we can do, but how do we get dangerous drivers to give a damn about pedestrians?

Cycling without a helmet and high-vis clothing may be made criminal offences in Ireland

-- Law areound cyclists being reviewed with e-scooter proposals for helmets and high-vis. Seán Canney, the Minister of State for road safety, is considering making it illegal to cycle without a helmet and high-vis on public roads in Ireland. It has already been reported by other media outlets that the Department of Transport was looking at compulsory helmets and high-vis for e-scooter users, but confirmation that the legal review also included bicycle users was outlined in an answer to a parliamentary question in recent days.
