This is like when flat earthers run an experiment, prove the earth isn’t flat, and are like “hmm that can’t be right”

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is

I don’t understand why aren’t they making weird direct to camera videos from the back of their cars?

Yeah because we gotta optimize the easiest thing to smush up in a suitcase. You can fit 5 underwears in the shape it takes to pack a t-shirt but it’s the underwear we need to skimp on

If you kill your wife, you don't get to be a husband anymore Some lessons from the media coverage of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer's murders.

My latest.

I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

You’re her killer.

Advocacy for road safety improvements is exhausting and demoralizing sometimes when your neighbors are against you

But this is what we're doing it for

I am honestly kind of "whatever" in terms of the amount of solar energy this would generate — it's way more expensive than just putting panels on the ground in an open field — but we should do it precisely because it would make surface parking lots more expensive to build

“Yeah if anything it doesn’t go far enough parking should be like $10 why are you taking a car into old town in the first place?”

It’s a pity that local news covering parking policy only interviews “dude who would drive to go 2 blocks” instead of, like, me

“I hate when we have to take the car. It's boring I can't see as much and I feel sick. I like riding my bike to 711 and to soccer. I want to bike by myself but it's not safe right now so my mom and dad won't let me. I want me and more kids to be able to bike and go places not just right on their sidewalk. Biking I can see more around me and I like the sun and the fresh air." - Ellis, age 8

Today’s betterbraddock.org comments so far are absolute gold.

Same, kid. Same.

If I were in the pod I’d throw up from the physics, and if I were in Mission Control I’d throw up from the anxiety

This should be the easiest decision of her term so far

oh no I think I was using the same one because mine is also gone

Honestly maybe? My biggest obstacles to Lego are price and display space and it addresses both of those. I’d just have attachment issues returning sets.

I went to a soda fountain today that offered to put electrolytes in my Dr Pepper and we really do have to shut this all down until we figure out what’s going on here

I do like the 1:1 scale concept masterplan is advertising. Scale always feels weird in CS2.

Seems not great. I’m hoping one of the next generation of city builders really competes with skylines but not holding my breath…

Two reminders:

First, Robert E. Lee was never a general in an army recognized by the United States. You can annoy all the right people by referring to him as Col. Robert E. Lee, his actual rank.

Second, the primary flag of the Confederacy is the white one of surrender. To wit:

It matters to remember the Confederates as unambiguous bad guys in American history because any nation's identity is in large part defined by the narrative of the villains we've defeated: monarchism in the Revolution, the Nazis in WWII, and alongside those, the white supremacist slave power.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

Ok but what game is it and does it have trains?

Do…do they think the city doesn’t have engineers? Or that they just didn’t check???

The white flag, aka the official flag of the Confederacy

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

A New Law Voids IDs of Transgender Kansans. It Also Threatens Their Voting Access. - Bolts Almost as soon as Kansas lawmakers passed a new law targeting transgender people in late February, state officials started invalidating some people’s driver’s licenses without warning. The law, which ...

Just to spell this out…

You need ID to vote in Kansas. For most, that means a driver’s license.

Kansas has canceled valid licenses of people who’d updated their gender marker. Many of those affected will need new licenses to be able to vote.

A new license costs $16.

= Poll tax on trans people.

Nothing about what happen today is ok. This man cannot continue holding the entire world hostage with his insane whims and mood changes.

Right gotta make fun of him for doing one (1) right* thing and also associate him with a food everyone likes

I think we can all agree it’s hard not to ~post thru it~ but I guess I think the actual politicians should be doing more than that???

So MTG's replacement will be elected before Armageddon, but not WI's Supreme Court judge.

😱

Get some handmade signs like “we’re here where is Thune?” Be a drama queen and embarrass someone.

I’m serious they should all go to the capitol and at the very least stage a scene.
