Yeah, I realize, as @jamellebouie.net indicated the other day, to move people, video is where it’s at. BUT, man, video sucks. Why on earth would anyone sit and watch this shit. People talk too slow. You can read text so much faster.
If you get the majority of your news from a vertical video with someone talking to camera, your brain is cooked

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Curious why you didn’t talk about the federal regulations that incentivize making larger vehicles (EPA footprint rule, more lenient rules for “light trucks” among others) while framing the increase in size of the average vehicle as a matter primarily due to customer choice
“Car bloat”—increasingly oversized automobiles—worsens road safety, affordability and the environment.
Here are some of the stories I wrote in 2025 examining the trend and proposing solutions. 🧵
In @vox.com, I likened car bloat to secondhand smoke (which helped bring down the US tobacco industry).

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.
