I will also say that if you've ever had a problem with Airbnb and needed to deal with Airbnb's customer service: that person is now running the design of federal government websites.

What do you say chat, can we rely on the AI to give us reputable numbers?

Trying to construct a mental model we can relate to (☕️🔌⚡️) vs “asking grok ‘x’ burns 5 trees” which just feels intentionally disassociating.

Then there's the reporter who starts with, "You've got the drivers worried about increased traffic."

Why is this the frame for the story? Why not start with something about the safety of these lanes for walkers and pedestrians? That's the real impact!

Legacy media is really doing everything in its power to ice the Trump/Epstein story.

It's so obvious and wild for anyone who lived through the wall-to-wall daily coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal

Our only hope is to draw the line now. To stick up for our friends and neighbors, our co-workers and loved ones, who are undocumented and being hunted.

If morality or empathy for them is not enough to motivate you, fine. Then let this be your motivation: if you don’t draw this line, you are next.

Ah, summer.. open the windows on a cool night to hear the sound of tires squealing on the nearby parking lots and intersections, on the county highway and frontage roads, across over passes and into roundabouts.
