Boy howdy these folks don’t like the idea of driving slower.

I see maps like this and think "why doesn't mnps branch out with more magnet schools?" there are wait lists on a lot of them. Can we fill a second dedicated school for the arts if we had it? Or experiment with different pedagogy? (Early learning centers would be good, too.)

I'm getting very big "we set fire to your library once and if you don't keep paying our extortion money we will do it again" vibes from this announcement.

The folks who went to Spain to fight Franco's fascists were labeled "premature antifascists". No credit but only derision for being right before everyone else.

Councilmember Weiner sent out an email yesterday telling folks to get the stuff to the curb before April 19, so at least in district 22 they can leave it curbside.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Kevin Sorbo on a lazy Easter sunday afternoon: “We need to bring back the Times Square strip clubs.”

I bought one for $2 from a habitat for humanity restore shop once because I moved states and could only take what could fit in my car.

If Mr. Roger's was alive today Stephen Miller would declare him an enemy of the state.

After court battles, clergy visit ICE detainees in Illinois and Minnesota (RNS) — In the last week, faith leaders were offered some of their first glimpses into ICE facilities, making use of a degree of access denied to most people — even members of Congress.

NEW: For months, faith leaders have pushed for access to detainees at ICE facilities in Broadview, IL and outside Minneapolis.

This past month or so, clergy finally gained access in both places — bc judges ordered the govt to let them in.

Remember that time Bezos went to the very edge of actually going to space, and didn't feel a single goddamn thing?

William Shatner was on the edge of tears describing the profound grief he'd felt on seeing all of Earth below him, and Bezos cuts him off to spray champagne on other rich people

*Maybe* find remote work, at 2/3 what you were making at Oracle.
And you're stuck paying a mortgage and inflated property taxes so your kid's school doesn't shut down and Oracle still gets all the tax breaks.

They're going back to the sub-prime mortgage fraud idea to make a little money and offload the failure onto institutional investors.

Another example on the long list showing that we can't rely on the people running this city to ever do the right thing.

I wonder if the company (companies?) Metro hired gave them an accurate timeline that Metro just isn't telling us, or if they completely oversold their ability get the work done in a timely fashion.
