I don't find your suggestion far fetched at all. Great idea. Those fat fascist goons don't look like walkers to me.

Maybe far fetched, but could pedestrianized spaces act as anti-ice spaces? They don’t seem to function without their cars, or in crowds. If you create a car-free space, ice would have a hard time kidnapping people in it.

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔

Big step. Seriously. Congrats. We've had two. Both lived 14 years, the second one passing in August of 2024. We miss them, but we're getting a bit too old to start again if the next one hangs out for 14 as well.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.
