People complain the city doesn’t plow roads well and #a2council is so out of touch with drivers, so they don’t care
Now with a possible on-street parking ban to do better snow plowing it’s all where could they possibly park and doesn’t council understand people have cars?!
It’s maddening.

A person just crashed their vehicle through check-in at DTW airport. But yeah, moral outrage online is reserved for a person in an ebike riding on the sidewalk, not systemic car violence that has plagued us for nearly a century.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

Before she was a 1st Ward candidate, Rebecca Arends was a vocal Jeff Hayner defender, even writing a long email to #a2council defending him as "a devoted father, [and] compassionate neighbor" and arguing that his use of a homophobic slur in a FB post was "none of [Council's] or my business."

The thing that's struck me about the first few weeks of Zohran's mayoralty is how he's really effectively capturing what used to be the GOP's bread and butter moves - cutting regulation on small businesses and free enterprise - as a socialist
the contrast between Zohran and, like, Karen Bass is pretty remarkable. Zohran has a clear vision of a more affordable and sustainable city and forcefully supports pro-housing polices as a key part of that vision.
Meanwhile, Karen Bass doesn’t seem to believe in anything in particular at all

I’ve always felt this way, but this last week, watching the federal government invade my city, watching my neighbors resist it, watching congressional Dems essentially pretend it’s not happening - I have never so keenly felt that Democrats in Congress are profoundly useless and irrelevant
All I want to do is fight this insanity, there are so many people like me, and it feels like most of the actual elected leaders who are supposed to be channeling this desire to resist are sitting on my head scolding me. PUT US IN THE GAME

Much has been written about potential safety benefits of AVs. Given the lack of AV data transparency, I cannot speak to whether, or to what degree, AVs are safer than an average human driver. What I can say:
