Something I haven't seen a ton of speculation about online is my theory that One Battle After Another is set in a world where the South won the Civil War.
The biggest clue is that Col. Lockjaw is awarded the "Nathan Bedford Forrest Medal of Honor."

@davecolon.bsky.social I’d like to propose a new variant of the sneckdown, the parking sneckdown, where illegally-parked vehicles outside of a precinct are snowed in for half a week.

The Department of Sanitation is one of the things that proves how well run New York is, actually.
Do other cities not have an endless fleet of garbage trucks that also triple as snow plows and street closure barricades?

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

A minor thing, but I hope the NIMBYs who typically scream that safe streets and housing advocates are just paid shills or in the pocket of Big Bike or whatever understand that they're a lot closer to Trumpism than they probably care to admit.
The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

What a fascinating point. Often missed by people invested in the old system.
In the old system, institutions had temporal buffers, which meant they could verify before public judgment cohered. In the new system, those buffers have collapsed. Meaning now stabilises for the public in hours, long before institutional processes can finish.

Every time I hear the GM line that “research shows most people don’t use the frunk, so we didn’t build one” I want to ask them how many consumers use the pickup beds on their GMC Sierra Denali.

not only was this predictable from the moment he took office, it should have been expected. and yet a constellation of “serious” and “savvy” observers insisted that we were living through a realignment

This is such a cute way of describing MTA service patterns
Does anyone know why they switched the F & the M but kept it as it was at "night"* and weekends?
*I love how the MTA uses definitions of time like "late evening" and "night" like it's the 13th century and everyone's life is defined by bells calling to the compline prayer.
