Scrolling on my timeline here gives me such a weirdly different flavor of reality than anything else, like Elon Musk is trying so hard to get me to think about the benefits of urbanism as if it's some sort of alternative to capitalism. Like, I'm into urbanism but zero G*z* posts?

For a country that prides itself on freedom, America certainly isn't free to build places like these.
It's ok to be concerned about Biden's and Trump's health, and about all of Congress's health and all of the Supreme Court's health, with markers of greed among the markers of poor health. It's ok to be concerned about the health of a person whose behavior affects you.
Yes, it's important to get away from @spotify because of its CEO's investment in AI-facilitated violence. Petty gripes - like #spotify's lack of recognition of the ART of Album Art - are also valid reasons to end your account
Some days I want a world identical to this one, except when I tap the album art in @spotify, the album art goes fullscreen
Hello @iberia_en, I am wondering about case number P20241011-52899161, where a flight was delayed 10+ hours and required to pay 600 Euros because of this delay. Last I checked, the payment was delayed several times. What is the update? Is that normal?

just learned about @EnriqueAllen's passing. He was one of the most clear-eyed supporters of the True Story Game during its development and release, still the biggest design/business endeavor I've undertaken. I remember feeling held by his attention. Sweet to see him smiling here.

"If what you want is a centrist campaign that's quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans, that candidate existed and she just lost"

We are already seeing the rationalizing of how we got here and the blaming of the political party that, though flawed, actually reflects multiracial democracy. We must resist this. Voters knew exactly who Trump was and chose him anyway. This is not about the so-called excesses of the left. As the NYT editorial board writes, Trump ran the "most racist, sexist, and xenophobic campaign in modern history." As NYT reporter Lisa Lerer wrote today, "This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip. Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history." This is the unsparing truth that we must confront.
Friends who live in Blue or Red states, even if you haven't spoken out against genocide yet, you can still do something by voting Green Party. If they get 5% they'll get federal recognition. Left-leaning governments like Norway's were born out of times of polarization. Hooope.
This headline $$$ is small compared to the opportunity $$$. Please @txdot go take a walk and think about this
Your tax dollars taking away productive land, meaning Houston will be getting less tax revenue, and people will be driving farther. Make it make sense @TxDOT @TxDOTHouston 😖😖
Hi @googlemaps can someone look into these confusing moments where one symbol says Exit Right while another symbol says Actually Don't?
Seems dangerous.
