I truly think that Trump, as a New Yorker, was simply excited to meet the new mayor
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

This describes a lot of philosophical scholarship
i believe i've just invented a new type of sandwich: the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. you may be thinking, "how is that different from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" well, this sandwich has not only peanut butter, but jelly as well, making it essentially a peanut butter and jel– ah shit

Elmer is obviously attracted to Bugs in a way that Bugs is more aware of than Elmer but I don't think Bugs totally understands the depths of how reciprocal it is on his end. A fascinating relationship.

NOT NOW SQUIRRELS sheesh
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UW-Eau Claire) and the University of California (UC), Davis, have recorded California ground squirrels hunting, killing, and eating small rodents called voles—the first documented evidence of the animal consistently eating meat.
Squirrels Caught Hunting and Eating Meat for the First Time
Scientists thought this species stuck to eating grains, but this summer's open season on voles suggests otherwise.

the concept of "checking in" online for a flight, appointment or whatever is so bizarre to me. you're not actually there. checking is is something you should do to confirm you're physically at the place

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

something i've only realized in the last 5 years ago is the role of car use in dissemination of propaganda - the cognitive load required to drive is quite large, which lowers your resistence for receiving or evaluating false information you hear on, say, talk radio.
I truly believe that car dependency and sprawl help create the sort of superfluous, alienated public that Arendt wrote about in Origins of Totalitarianism
“In a typical week, relying on a car more than 50% of the time for out-of-home activities is associated with a decrease in life satisfaction. This implies that at high levels of car dependence, there are negative implications that outweigh the benefits of car-based travel.” ssti.us/2024/12/09/t...

This reminds me of conservative evangelicals who insist that when Jesus said that it was easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of needle than to enter kingdom of heaven, he was talking about a gate in Jerusalem called "the eye of the needle" and that actually a rich man could get to heaven.
