Banish car traffic. You generally leave access of some kind for emergency vehicles, as well as for vehicles of disabled residents, but other than that cars are not allowed to drive through there.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social headline on Karen Tumulty’s column in WaPo today “Democrats take off the gloves on redistricting — but could it backfire?”

#AT40 July 1977 just finished freshman year of HS, started packing up the house for our move from our home for most of my life in Indiana to northern Virginia in August. Many of these songs already bringing back those memories.

Vietnam and Nixon’s resignation brought out a mess of nostalgia for the 50’s. They weren’ all Happy Days. #AT40

#AT40 Played the entire album start to finish SO MANY TIMES. Underappreciated work that was overwhelmed by Rhapsody

In the hit song The South’s Gonna Do It Again Charlie Daniels sang “Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay
He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play”

Elvin, born in LA, made a name for himself in Chicago with Paul Buttfield, & then hooked up with Micky Thomas in San Francisco

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Have you ever found a hairline crescent Moon as young as 24 hours from new? You get a chance Tuesday after sunset. Mars fades, Jupiter says goodbye, and a globular cluster waits for you in the Keyston...

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

#AT40 Despite what others may think, Hotel California is one my favorite songs, and the album doesn’t have a bad song on it - still listen through the whole thing at times

#AT40 Did he just add a ninth "British act" after saying eight a couple times earlier? Apparently that's his countdown within a countdown?

This evening, 18th January: #Venus is close to #Saturn. Look to the southwest after sunset - Venus will be easily seen as it is very bright. This is a good photo opportunity - a 300mm lens should frame the pair nicely. Stellarium graphic. #Astronomy #Astrophotography
