I visited the far off lands of “The Seattle Center” today to see these fabled “retractable bollards.” 🛫🌎🌍🛬
A worker named Ralph who has been there for 25 years said they work great 👍. You can get through with a keycard or call box.
Perhaps someday we’ll import this exotic solution to Pike Place 💡

How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say “we can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

The weirdest conspiracy theory of all is that 15 minute city thing. Why would anyone not want 15 minute cities? I mean you can still live in the countryside if you want but all villages, towns and cities should have amenities within 15 mins.
