“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

It's rare for me to be the voice of caution, but in this instance I believe its warranted.
Do NOT put all your faith in the Epstein Files as being the end. We've witnessed this guy escape before and I fully believe that he's got some incredibly savvy people at work on his behalf right now

In the specific case of the grotesque US government accounts on here, I do wish they’d ban them for threats, and also I kinda get why they’re not doing so against accounts run by the world’s biggest government that has been taken over by fascists who specifically hate Bluesky and its user base

Then, there are the war crimes committed by Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio that will percolate up. Finally, Bovino flirting with Contempt of Court. This crew is going to pop like a shaken can of soda.

So just this morning, I’ve read that Noem is under scrutiny for mysterious no-bid contracts that benefit close associates. Bondi and Blanche have possible Obstruction of Justice and Contempt of Congress. We know the Homan stuff is out there. Others are skirting cry close to the edge. OMG.

so now we get to an honest political fork in the political road.
who are GOP Congressional Reps more afraid of, the DJT Administration or their own voters.
The voters are apparently not keen on pedophiles or those who protect pedophiles.
DJT controls their party
who do they choose?

Let's talk about immigration reform...
lets face it, our current system sucks ass, its woefully unfair and uncaring. I understand that people just don't want to simply let everyone in and to a degree, I'm on board with that... to a degree.

Did the New York Times ruin media journalism?

b) the FTFNYT believes that there are 2 sides to this issue & both of them state that you're wrong
c) yes, but we believe that there is a thin patina of truthiness to our misinformation
d) lets ask David Brooks!

This observation doesn't really help everyone but I feel like it has to be said. Watching the GOP and Trump attempting to run the Gov is the film equivalent of "Manos, Hands of Fate". Dumb people, doing dumb things, evil people doing dumb things. More stupidity, more horror, all unneeded.

once upon a time, when the Dems were in charge
the media actually reported on the nuts and bolts of the ACA.
The docs hated it and tried to sabotage it (like they did when the Clintons tried something). The media interviewed doctors, insurance company staff and MOC

Reporters routinely try to blame Democrats in their thinly veiled attacks as questions - and this response is pure gold.

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.
