LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."

Fund transit: If you do, you get less traffic.
If you don't, you get endless construction and road expansions that costs more than funding transit and doesn't reduce congestion.

It's amazing to see all of the positive downstream outcomes of investing into public transit. Reduced congestion, lower emissions, quieter and safer streets, improved access to jobs, there's just so many reasons to make our transit better, everyone benefits!

Motion to call roads and streets "car trails".
I don’t like how Seattle calls bike lanes and urban bike routes “trails”. It makes it sound informal and leisurely. These are actual bike roads that get people to work, school, and to run errands. They aren’t for joy riding in the park

Anyone who is more concerned about bikes on sidewalks than cars on the road is deeply unserious about pedestrian safety.
A cyclist on a sidewalk is usually a symptom of bad infrastructure.
As I often say, cyclist vs. pedestrian conflicts arise because both are fighting over the scraps of space not occupied by cars. But what if we took that space from cars to make biking, walking, and rolling safer?

my hot take as a full-time pedestrian and transit rider is that i want cities to do the absolute maximum amount to provide cyclists with safe and protected bike lanes everywhere so that i don't have to feel the least bit bad for kicking one off the sidewalk into the street
