We've spent a century shrinking sidewalks, paving over streetcar tracks, and literally chasing cyclists off the roads to make driving more convenient. I don't want to Ban Cars, I want to unFuck walking, unFuck the bus, unFuck biking for transportation.
Step 1 is restrict cars.

So we’re clear:
The Supreme Court ended affirmative action yesterday by saying you CAN’T discriminate by helping a minority group, then turned around today and said you CAN discriminate by hurting them.

For those who don't follow the Nebraska legislature, you're really missing out. It's just a constant stream of people correcting the Chair, people calling other people out for getting the rules wrong, and people reminding other people that they don't know what they're doing.

A young girl didn’t want to slaughter the goat she raised for 4H. The state senator who bought the goat at auction agreed to let it live out its days eating weeds. But sheriff’s deputies drove 500 miles to kill the goat and teach a 9-year-old a lesson.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUIT JACKET, SPORT COAT, AND BLAZER?
A friend of mine recently emailed me to ask whether he accidentally bought a suit jacket by mistake, when he wanted a sport coat. I see this sort of thing happen often, so let's break down the differences 🧵

You should get the fuck off the stage and apologize, asshole. This statement is your life from here on in.

Let’s talk about naming things.
This is a pattern designed by the UK passport office to appear part-way through the application flow.
It uses a contrasting visual style to alert users to some important information about applying.
What would you call this? 🧵
1/6
ALT A large blue panel titled “Before you continue”. It tells the user the service will take around 3 weeks and they should use a different service if they need a passport urgently. It also includes information on how to apply for someone else, and what to do if your appearance has changed since your last passport photo.

Today there are some states that seek to venerate the legacy of my slaveholding collateral ancestor, Confederate General Robert E Lee.

I can't believe this has to be pointed out: the reason cars are designed to crumple, rather than be indestructible, is to divert the energy of a crash around the cabin and protect the occupants.
If you crash in this thing, the car will be fine but YOU will shatter into pieces.
