A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

This is just getting comical now for the DuPage County GOP, in Trump+1 Addison Township (a rare Republican-trending portion of the County):

-The INCUMBENT Republicans for Clerk & Township Supervisor are LOSING
-Democrats are currently winning 4 out 4 Township Board seats, ALL AGAINST INCUMBENTS!

6. Beware of false attacks

Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

James Baldwin: (Most patient, heartbreakingly eloquent description of the experience of Black suffering in America you've ever heard)
William Buckley (smirking): Well, heheh, y'see, what Mistah Baldwin seems not to realize is that, ah, as the poet said,
Politics nerds: Wow... they were both so smart

the vinyl revival completely sucks. CDs have better fidelity, are more portable, less wasteful, and significantly cheaper. every time i see an album get some big fancy remaster and that remaster is only available on vinyl and streaming i want to scream. no one is gonna hear the details bud.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

The Clash release “London Calling”, their 3rd studio LP, today in 1979.

“Punk rock isn’t something you grow out of,” Joe Strummer said. “Punk rock is an attitude, and the essence of that attitude is, ‘Give us some truth.’”
