It's been 40 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Olivaia’s OLA married co-founders, Giulio Zavolta and Rachelle Bross, bought a neglected grove of hundred-year-old olive trees in Lindsay, Calif., in 2012 and began producing their own olive oil five years later.

One of my favourites, that I saw for myself last year: Neuer Markt in central Vienna.

One of Vienna's main civic/market squares, choked by vehicles & turned into a grim 20th century car park. Transformed back into a space for people in the last few years.

Before (📷 2017) 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
After (📷 2024) 🚶‍♂️🚲🌳🌲🌱

Google Street View image from 2017 looking onto Neuer Markt in central Vienna, one of the city's main historic civic squares. The square is filled with parked vehicles, with very little space for people to move or even sit. In the distance is a historic water fountain, inaccessible due to the parked vehicles. The square has since been transformed for the better (see next image).

A photo I took at the same location as the previous image on Neuer Markt in central Vienna in November 2024. Gone are the parked cars that once filled the street - replaced by a completely renovated civic square, with space for walking, sitting, plenty of bike parking, and an overwhelming amount of new planting and greenery.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations.

I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.
