Smoking in restaurants used to be ubiquitous — despite it degrading the experience for everyone else.
It was the way things had always been done — it's tradition! Smokers are essential for business!
Then we banned it in 2005. Now no one wants to go back.

This paper is a great example of solid evidence of systemic discrimination:
"Black taxpayers are audited at 2.9 to 4.7 times the rate of non-Black taxpayers."
This reflects a series of choices built into the IRS audit algorithm: focus on the EITC, and overclaiming of credits.

I find zero value in celebrity culture until we get to Keri Russell, who doesn't hop on a bike for the "look at me" photo shoot, but rather lives the bikes-for-transportation lifestyle in Brooklyn NY.

Pedestrian space stolen so that careless motorists don't scratch their cars
What unintended consequences might emerge from building a world where people are systematically protected from any consequences when they drive carelessly?

For more than 40 years, migrating birds have been crashing into McCormick Place Lakeside Center.
But this fall, when bird collision monitors performed their usual daily searches of the building’s grounds, they found something remarkable: just 18 dead birds.

Republicans worked the ref relentlessly - bad faith accusations of censorship, congressional hearings, Trump threatening to imprison Zuckerberg - and it worked because Republicans also have power to act on their threats. This is what you get when politicians who attack liberal values are empowered.
✔️ Money to the Trump inaugural
✔️ Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
✔️ Getting rid of fact-checking
✔️ Putting UFC's Dana White (a key Trump ally) on Meta's board
Hard not to see these moves as an effort to avoid being politically targeted by an illiberal president.

Some 🐔s coming home to roost here. I have long warned about the dangers of putting so much power over speech in the hands of one billionaire. That goes both ways - when Meta intervenes too much (e.g., the Hunter Biden laptop) and when it pulls back from reasonable content moderation (possibly here).

A pile of research shows that huge SUVs/pickups are a menace to public health.
Oversized cars pulverize smaller ones in a crash, while their height enlarges blind spots and leads to pedestrians being struck in their head or torso rather than their legs. (US ped deaths recently hit a 40-year high.)
