we need less five-over-one and more five-over-FUN

remember a couple years ago, when sen. feinstein didn't know who or where she was, or what she was voting on, for a couple years, while her unelected staff covered up her condition and governed for her? if D's are serious about restoring trust in democracy, they need to put a stop to this stuff

Waymo Is Not In The 'Vision Zero' Toolbox: Data - Streetsblog New York City At least two of the cities where Waymo operates have not experienced declines in traffic-related injuries and deaths.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them."

To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Australia's cyber security co-ordinator just dropped what I think will be a very useful reaction meme

I refuse to use the phrase Don't Throw The Baby Out With The Bathwater until I am presented with peer-reviewed studies about what happens if we throw the baby out with the bathwater. I don't think a scientifically meaningful sample of babies have ever been thrown out! This is just bad science.

Most Americans: I’m going to die working this job 😞

Indiana Railroad 9025, an EMD SD9043MAC with a warbonnet-inspired red and gray paint scheme, with a large thick white V on the nose. The nose of the locomotive is made up of several flat sections approximating an earlier curved locomotive nose, and there is a large narrow hood behind the cab with radiator flares at the rear.

I think I have to go with the SD9043MAC

Remember this every time a Reasonable Democrat says we should be onboard with legal/technical measures to stop minors from accessing adult content

Once you create a category of Bannable Speech, you've created a tool for the powerful to ban any speech they want; just put it in the Bannable category.

'Alumni review came!' Cat says, holding a magazine. 'Looks like the stock market is divorced from reality! This is IT' he says, putting a tie on. 'This is my BIG CHANCE' he says, grabbing flowers, and walking toward the door whistling. 'Good luck with reality' Girl says. 'REALITY?' says Cat.

Class notes.

If you want boots you do still have to go to Red Wing, though.

Probably a bit late to mention this now but the Duluth Trading Company also has other locations that may be more convenient to you.

I appreciate the sentiment but we did very much fumble

The entry on the Central Warehouse Company in The Electric Railways of Minnesota doesn't include the New Brighton arsenal or this locomotive, so I'm not certain Don had that correct.

Oh, Don's Depot has another picture claiming it was part of Central Warehouse Company

The President of the United States is using the US military to try and do regime change around the world so he can act as a gatekeeper to those countries' resources and extort bribes to enrich himself.

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

The popularity of lawyer jokes was a long-term psyop to make people distrustful so they wouldn’t ask for lawyers when questioned by the police.

You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.

That Shakespeare's plays were largely written by WIlliam Shakespeare

And the only person who could still order Vader around after that? The Emperor, who perished on the second Death Star while Vader was extracted by his own son (although due to a miscalculation Vader did not manage to survive that time).

His son who had been brought to the Death Star by Vader's former teacher (who then met with Vader) mere hours earlier and extracted Vader's daughter.

And who didn't escape the Death Star? Grand Moff Tarkin, one of the few people who could give orders to Vader.

in honor of The Onion officially taking over InfoWars, what’s a conspiracy theory you 100% believe?

The Death Star was an inside job. Darth Vader just happens to be thrown free at the last second in a tie fighter with a hyperdrive just as his son blows it up with no targeting computer?
