Will Stancil really does have the exact type of personality that ends up leading revolutions, and I mean that in both the most laudatory and derogatory senses possible, including the fact that he would inevitably get purged after six months because of his inability to ever compromise or back down.

It's been a disappointment to see people who care about street safety rush ahead of the evidence on Waymo.

I get that it's tempting to believe marketing. Waymo is good at marketing.

But marketing safety is not statistical proof of safety. Waymo doesn't have proof. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
We Still Don’t Know if Robotaxis Are Safer Than Human Drivers
And even if self-driving technology proves to be less dangerous, there are many better ways to improve traffic safety and prevent fatal crashes.

One of my favorite questions for train enthusiasts and fellow travelers.

For the rest of your life, If you could choose, would you pick a guaranteed seat in the Quiet Car or the Cafe Car on Amtrak? 🤫 for quiet, ☕ for cafe.

What movie is the equivalent of man “note booking” a woman? For me, it’s Rounders.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Am I the only one who thinks FSD will never work at scale? Shifting the demand while street geometry remains stagnant is just recipe for gridlock. There’s no “innovation” that can create more space for cars.
“This summer, [Waymo is] planning to launch in Atlanta. Next on the list are Miami and Washington, D.C. The cars are now mapping Boston, Nashville, New Orleans, Dallas, Las Vegas and San Diego. This past week, the company announced that it’s testing Orlando, Houston and San Antonio.”
It’s Waymo’s World. We’re All Just Riding in It.
Google’s driverless-taxi company just cracked 10 million rides. If you haven’t taken one, you will soon.

I feel like 30% of the population having a weird reactionary low stakes view is not something that really requires a lot of explanation? This happens a lot?

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Democrats need to embrace making it easier & faster to produce the things people need — e.g., housing, clean energy, child care, transit — & move away from government-created scarcity.

An abundance approach lowers cost of living.

Democrats need to lean into being the Party of abundance.
