Can we get back to talking about all the insane ways this tech is being deployed and how bad it is that people are offloading their thinking to it now, or are we going to have to keep on having a proxy fight about the environment that has always been only about the tech itself anyway?

Wealthy New Yorkers Who Take Th... 17h X Why make buses free for poor and working class New Yorkers when you could instead earmark it for projects that will never happen, that might come online twenty years from now? Big brained urbanists! (not to mention the figures in the article are fantastical) sam @sam_d_1995•1d free buses are a nice perk but we should think bigger about how a billion dollars a year in new transit funding could truly transform the fabric of the city Paris is already doing it with the "Grand Paris Express", no reason we can't do it here in NYC too x.com/ericgoldwyn/st...

it’s kind of remarkable that we’ve reached a point where free buses (a tweak that will provide a marginal value to our overall transit network) is viewed as more progressive than a sustained investment in expanding mass transit in underserved areas across the city

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

If ever there was an indication this was a fake problem, here it is:

the "the myth of consensual sex" meme where it's a couple saying they consent but then jesus is off to the side saying he does't, but it's been changed so it says "the myth of consensual urban transit planning" And the couple is labeled "city dwellers" the man is saying "we should make it easier to not drive here" The woman is saying "like building bike lanes or adding bus routs." And Jesus has been replaced with clip art of a farmer, labeled "someone who lives 1000 miles away and has no involvement whatsoever." and is saying "Stop trying to take my car away I will kill you" text at the bottom still says "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"
