You know the safety of NFL players is of zero importance to the league because if a running player goes out of bounds and takes more than five steps it’s suddenly OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT

It’s really funny to see people get mad about historical accuracy in the Odyssey adaptation because there’s a cyclops in that story. There’s a witch who turns men into pig. gods are literally real and manifest physically. It’s okay if there’s a black guy.

Bardot's views were not "controversial", she was an old fashioned jackboot fascist obsessed with bloodline purity. Lovely cheekbones though, so swings and roundabouts I guess if you are an obit writer today?
This is from Bardot's memoir "Un cri dans le silence" btw. I've seen a lot of people mentioning her "right wing politics" with a hand wave, so they can talk about her beauty or animal activism, but not actually sitting with the ugliness of her legacy.

So much of the issues related to transit governance is downstream from the fact that both the boards of these agencies and many of advocates in this space believe that transit is a welfare program that acts as “transportation of last resort” as opposed to a viable, affordable alternative to cars.
The equity case for infrequent buses at low fares only makes sense if you believe low income people’s time has no value or that they don’t value their time.
Every transit professional knows this, but equity

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

There's something almost touching about orchestrating and executing a multi-decade plan to attain functionally limitless power and then getting all in your feelings that nobody likes you.

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Donald Trump just bombed a hospital on Christmas. But a cashier at Target said "Happy Holidays" to me when I was doing a return this morning. I have never felt more politically homeless.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).
