I am once again asking cities to install usable bike parking instead of whatever this is. Could you imagine if cities installed car parking spots that were based on art versus functionality?

A polar vortex is likely to hit a large swath of North America this week and into next, potentially disrupting travel for millions of people during the Thanksgiving holiday. Research suggests that, as the planet warms due to the climate crisis, polar vortexes may become more common or severe.

I keep saying, Google intentionally making its search worse is a world-historical fumble, and it's a huge opportunity for so many others across the internet, if they'll just seize it..
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Jokes like this are a pet peeve of mine. Birds eating chicken/turkey isn't cannibalism; bird is an animal kingdom, like mammal or reptile. If Woodstock eating turkey is cannibalism, then people eating other mammals (cow, pig, lamb, etc) is also cannibalism

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

The Gaza protests not only “provoked intense political conflict.” Liberal and Dem leaders are still calling them antisemites for caring about liberal principles like human rights and international law…and they expect these same kids to come defend liberal democracy!

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.
