our crossing guards do mission impossible and I am so thankful for all of them, but JFC the fact that we need "Guards" to simply ensure drivers don't run over school children?
This is what is so twisted about our auto obsessed culture that we don't even see how we've completely normalized this.

This episode should be required listening for anyone who has ever said, "America has always been this way!" with regard to car dependency. People in the early 20th century recognized the danger of cars but the auto industry fought hard to build infrastructure and develop policies that drove sales.
NEW EPISODE: "The Creation of America's Car Culture." Producer Ilana Strauss talks to @norton.bsky.social about the two men who, in the 1920s, teamed up to sell more cars and shape the way cities handle traffic. Their legacy can be felt across the country today. podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/t...

On a scale of one to 10, how much do you want to add a small solar system to your apartment balcony? ☀️

Plug-in solar technology is making it easier for renters and low-income households to harness the power of the sun – but it’s not yet legal across most of the U.S.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Trump attacks the world, including the closest US allies, with illegal tariffs breaking his own trade deals, & then throws a tantrum when Ontario runs commercials with real/true Reagan statements about how bad tariffs are for US citizens.
The world should boycott the USA until the tariffs are gone.
The world should boycott the USA until the tariffs are gone.
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
