Any idea what the deal is between "old piedmont" and "new piedmont"? I don't get that distinction.

Progressives hate her and normies don't mind her historically, so it depends on how much normies blame her for working with trump. If she does get blamed, she's done. If she squirms out of blame, then she's probably the favorite to win but not guaranteed (she won last election by 9%).

"Lowering speed limits is just about making money $$$!" says the multi-trillion dollar car, oil, and gas industry 🤔

People do not want to admit how dangerous driving is because it undermines their entire reality. So they pretend speed limits are about money.

Brigid Howe @bnhowe.bsky.social · 12h

And when we try to make changes, neighbors organize with rhetoric like this. Kemp Mill Civic Association is riling up fear of having to pay tickets (avoidable by not speeding) while people are killed on these roads. It’s disgusting.

But Mississippi Delta is already on there, I don't get why Piedmont gets broken up into old and new, that doesn't make sense to me. My best guess is there's some high tech/finance pockets in "new" piedmont (research triangle to huntsville), but "old" piedmont has Charlottesville/Blacksburg so...

What's the deal with "old piedmont" and "new piedmont"? Never heard of these terms before, not sure about this distinction.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Yeah for sure, Jawando turned heel immediately after Question A passed and he saw Elrich's nimby voting bloc was up for grabs. Glass says all the right things but always backs out of actually doing anything substantive ime, all talk no action.

It seemed on point to me, Jawando is going to clean out the pockets of CC nimbys, the only thing it got wrong is I think we're (pro housing people) all definitely lining up behind Friedson not Glass

It’s insane the which the Very Smart Consensus continues to be that a party wins power by being polite, avoiding extreme positions, and providing detailed moderate policy positions, when the GOP has seized total control by doing the exact opposite of all of those things

There has been basically no (public) reckoning with the democratic strategists who said that "raising the salience" of immigration/deportations in ~March would help Trump, which was obviously wrong at the time and has been proved wrong over the last 6 months www.gelliottmorris.com/p/kilmar-abr...

Absolutely spectacular last minute goal at Stamford Bridge to beat Liverpool, Estavao rushes over to the stands to celebrate, and every Chelsea fan has their phone out like a membrane preventing any actual real life interaction with him in the moment. So depressing, put your f'ing phones away.

It is a consequence of intentional editorial decisions about what "news" to cover and what to largely ignore that Trump's recent decision to have people across the U.S. get cancer, developmental diseases, become infertile, and die is not felt as a "public safety" emergency.

Across Europe, the electric-scooter backlash is in full swing.

But a new study found that the injury risk for e-scooters is actually 2.5 to 10 times lower than for e-bikes.

Europe is saying no to electric scooters. The data says not so fast.

E-scooters may have been prematurely maligned. A new study suggests they are safer than electric bikes.
