Street parking is tax payer subsidized storage.
I don't own a car and have nothing to park, but I'm emotionally invested in the fate of this car that hasn't moved in weeks.

Lots of interest here, and I will write about it. But what jumped out at me was ZM's observation that the laws we need are already on the books. We just need to enforce them. I mean, OF COURSE, but... it needs to be said.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us.

We engineered a landscape where driving is the only option and now claim bike lanes, transit, and walkability is “forcing a lifestyle".
I went out to practice drone waypoint flying in the core commercial area of Georgetown, with the Georgetown Marketplace as the primary point of interest.

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth.
That's the *best* case scenario.

Bikes are human-scale transport, fitting seamlessly into people-centered urban design. They blend in without demanding massive parking or dominating space and that’s the beauty of it.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
