Only if “tilting at windmills” is somehow tied into the whole thing, because it all feels very Quixotic in all the best ways. Every Fae Knight gets a Fae Squire, their sane Sancho who both stops them from being too stupid and relays the King’s orders?

Mr. Hippo I am calling in to ask if your refrigerator is running, because in this economy it really ought to be jogging instead

Urban design and school budget cuts lead to people never being social in the first place, not forming meaningful friendships, getting alienated. Also leads to young folx, especially young white boys, being easily radicalized in online settings.

Eastern and Little Nature Deity, the fairies find a large egg that’s assumed to be a tengu egg. The tengu also think it’s one of theirs, and forcibly take it back. When it turns out that it’s not a tengu egg, they give the fairies a magical mallet (not *the* Magical Mallet) to apologize.

Here’s the unhinged part: with that in mind, there’s nothing special about his writing, and no reason to teach it in schools. He’s not a bad writer, I’ve just never been impressed by his heavy-handed allegory.

Teaching Orwell in schools without teaching that he was a communist, or his history with the USSR and Spanish Civil War, completely misrepresents his work and his message. Animal Farm is a criticism of Stalin specifically, but is always taught as a vague anti-communist book.

Big eggs, too, a tengu egg is the same size as Sunny Milk. I have many questions about how that’s even possible, and I want none of them answered.

Doesn’t mean we can’t make it true. I think there is a Good Idea in the concept of police, we don’t want martial law and we don’t want posses. It would require a total overhaul of the system, yeah, but that’s true of every system in the US right now.

It’s almost like that’s the point I was making, the entire reason we have cops is because they’re supposed to be accountable to civil law. The fact that they aren’t means what we actually have is martial law, just with cops instead of soldiers.

The entire idea of police was that they were citizens just like everyone else, as opposed to being members of the military, and thus accountable to civil, not martial, authority. This whole concept of “police as a protected class” is just sparkling martial law.

This is it, and a lot of it’s from Russia. There’s no hard data, but some influencers who have rejected the money said Russia offered them tens of thousands of dollars to talk bad about Ukraine. Odds are, the same money is funding other right-wing talking points, too.

New York suspending his sentence after the election ruined everything, they should’ve put him away until the day of his inauguration, just to make it clear that he didn’t “get away with it”

If my city asked me to vote on such measures, it’d be an instant yes, no hesitation. I love driving, I hate commuting by car - the two ain’t the same. Hell, where I live, downtown should be closed off to cars entirely! We already avoid it anyway, complete closure would change nothing. /2

I’m a New Urbanist, too. Removing car lanes for protected bike lanes and sidewalks is good, even if I am carbrained: I wouldn’t have to drive as often! Less wear and tear! When I did drive, there’d be fewer people on the road and less worrying about pedestrians and cyclists! /1

By making these urban and suburban areas safer/more restrictive to drivers, we can free up enforcement resources for highways, solving the reckless driving issue there without the need for engine governors.

It’s not that it’s an either/or, I just think governors are a bad solution. They’re invasive mechanically, and present more points of failure for reliability. We can achieve results with other, proven methods, especially in the places where most deaths occur: urban and suburban areas.

Your point being? Especially in urban areas, road design can do a lot more to limit speeds than even extensive enforcement, and I wasn’t proposing ending enforcement. Engine governors to limit speeds are not a viable solution, there’s too many points of failure.

Something something light truck loophole something something. CAFE was almost a good idea, but the loophole and the frankly unrealistic goals it set got us to where we are now. 40mpg is a lot higher than it sounds, it’s not for nothing that manufacturers put so much energy into ducking the rules.

Engine governors aren’t the solution. Don’t get me wrong, speed kills, but the solution used in places like the Netherlands is to change how roads are built so speeding is more or less impossible. You get your improved road safety, car people get to keep their cars the way they are, everyone wins.
