Americans have had their brains poisoned against common sense solutions for better living since inception. Designed sprawl and car culture are antithetical to human nature. Gun culture and paranoia are baked into the “king of the castle” ideology. Community is hard to find. On purpose.

Today’s episode of “there is a better way.” Helsinki went a full year without a car-related fatality. For the 90th million time, we ask-why not here? Why can’t we have the healthy, safe, secure, efficient, civilized goods others have: schools free of mass shootings, safe sidewalks, health care…
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

There definitely is. Cities (and how we badly need to make them better for people) are inherently interesting.
If you're an Economist subscriber (or not) and you cycle and are into this story btw, please do share it far and wide, because I'm trying to prove that there's a giant audience for urbanism!

even setting aside whatever it means for the vote on the release of the epstein files, we're at a very grim place if the republicans are straight up refusing to seat people democratically elected to congress
Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.
She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.
Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.
Say her name.
