Reichard single handedly keeping the ST afloat
I do not believe Matt Daniels has done a very good job at coaching special teams this season.

There should be a recall
The alarming part here isn't that he's innaccurate--it's that, for whatever reason, he seems to be getting *more* innaccurate. Gotta put this bird back in the oven to cook I think.

All it takes is ditching the belief that driving is a right that shall not be infringed, instead of a privilege that comes with responsibilities
yeah my most out there technology and crime belief that be implemented is if we can mandate new cars have backup cameras we can mandate they have ignition interlock devices. the first time you get caught driving over the limit it gets turned on. extremely doable technological non-carceral solution.
There was a DUI diversion program (Montana? Dakota?) that required 3 a day breathalizer that was more or less a wild success. If you miss check in, you get an overnight in county. Apparently this had effects on *all cause* mortality.

Same reason I picked these up about a year ago! It’s weirdly refreshing
I’ve been reading a lot of Warhammer 40k fiction and one of the big appeals is that nobody’s pretending everything is ok. It’s bad! The choices are all bad! That, uh, resonates a bit at the moment.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

A wealthy safe streets advocate could do the most good by paying a team of maybe a half dozen journalists to aggressively and comprehensively report every single traffic death in every major city. Depicting the horrifying human cost, FOIing PDs and DOTS, contextualizing it in policy choices, etc.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-smoking playbook is worth studying and learning from, and is completely applicable to oversized cars.

So at this point we have a baseball betting scandal, an NBA betting scandal so I give it about 6 months before we discover that both of these combined are about 2% of the NFL betting scandal

it's really weird to plant a flag as a Serious Moderate who triangulates their position on every issue relative to other people, instead of...believing in something?
Unreal. Both the Democratic "Moderate Party" candidates quoted here lost by 8 points while the most important city in the country, one county over, elected a Muslim socialist immigrant for mayor

Since we as a society cannot conceive of an urban building not reliant on cars, I propose a new type of building:
Put parking at street level and above, so cars can occupy their rightful place in our cities, and let people live underground
Put parking at street level and above, so cars can occupy their rightful place in our cities, and let people live underground
Monday at Madison Plan Commission a downtown 320 microunit unit apartment building downtown at 139 W Wilson St up for approval; staff is concerned that it may be too dense for the narrow lot and, without any parking, might mean too much loading/pickup activity.

When you’re riding public transit you realize that what’s good for everybody is also good for you. If the bus runs faster, if the train is cleaner, if the AC works, we all benefit
when you’re driving a car, every other car on the road is your personal enemy

The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.

Why did the attacks on Mamdani’s socialism fail? A key reason: He made clear he was a “sewer socialist,” a forgotten American tradition created by left-wing mayors who asked to be judged not by theories but by whether they deliver public services effectively & fairly.
