@notjustbikes „Of course, all of this will ultimately suck for cities where we need fewer cars, not different cars.“
This is the basic truth for most European cities and towns. Even the biggest ones – as Paris is currently demonstrating. If the US or Canadian Cities would imitate that then the question would be, what to use all that space for which is currently under the wheels of obnoxiously massive cars (95% of which are not even in use, and the 5% are statistically at maybe 1/8th capacity).
@GottaLaff I've been thinking we need to find clips of him speaking, like 1 minute each, in real time, where you can see his lack of focus or otherwise bizarre speech. He benefits from the tiny clips the media goes for. He rambles for minutes and the media reports on the one coherent thing that comes out.
But this isn't it. It's just not clear enough. Unless it shows teleprompter problems, in which case it's a mild punk b/c he once said Obama needed his teleprompter.
As President Biden speaks to the Morehouse College commencement ceremony in Atlanta someone is holding aloft behind him a flag of the DRCongo while one graduating student has turned his back and draped himself in the Palestinian flag.
I have finally dragged on clothes, so welcome to #ShirtCheckSunday !
I share my tee, you show me your tee/shirt/outfit, everyone looks awesome and cute, it's great.
Today's shirt is Ashenspire's Three Months to the Gutter tee, art by Hagiophobic.
They're an avant-garde red/anarchist black metal (RABM) band, and Hostile Architecture is one of my favourite albums of the last few years. Equal parts beautiful and brutal, and upholding the rule that all metal bands with saxophones are good.
If you're near London in the UK, they're playing at Desertfest at the Electric Ballroom this afternoon at 14:30.
@HauntedOwlbear sorry I could have posted a link ... but then you wouldn't have had the fun of tracking them down. They're brilliant. I saw them on the first night of the tour that the t-shirt is from. (just realised I forgot to alt text the pics... tusky edit to the rescue).
@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic ya same as everyone else. I keep things were they are most efficient and I absolutely hate it when they get taken and not put back, to the point I have to get doubles of things and hide one of everything
What is supposed to be a holding room for a former president’s security has, at their own admission, become a de facto campaign HQ . . . in a government building.
Olivia Nuzzi:
The #Trump campaign has moved its operational headquarters from West Palm Beach to a holding room inside Manhattan criminal court.
@GottaLaff
So stop them! Everyone is way to wussy with these traitorous f*cks. The judge was letting sycophants text during the trial. I won't even mention the many many abuses of the gag order by the Congress rats. JFC already.
@georgetakei This is now making me wonder how many store sign size dwellings we can put on an acre of land. Of course, if we were building them for people to live in that would mean they would need plumbing and electricity rather than a long extension cord to a single outlet.... But maybe we've been making this all way too complicated for a long long time!
I still think “richness” is more a function of wealth rather than income (although I ponder on the “wealthy” aristocracy who can’t afford to run their property).
In trying to work out why I feel this way I came across this chart - the median UK household net wealth was £300k in 2020.
There’s a lot to unpick on this I suspect.
In summary, do I consider myself rich? no; could I be? Probably.
