Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

So…Noem is going to prison for quite a long time, for many reasons, leading off with this:
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)

And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

I’ve seen absolutely nothing and Biden was proven 100% right.

They even claimed Trump was going to use that to justify pardoning people, which has become only far more laughable with who Trump has pardoned

The correct and obvious contention that the blanket nature of the pardon was necessary due to the possibility that Trump would unfairly target Hunter and others with kangaroo court indictments was not even considered as within the bounds of acceptable debate.

Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

still lots of editing to do, but if you're into cities, Python, or spatial analysis, give it a look and let me know what's wrong :)

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Love it! In the same boat with my e-bike. We're (take my daughter to school and everywhere else on it) at ~300 miles and this all would have previously been by car. Life changing indeed. Looking forward to 500.
Yesterday on my way to the gym I hit 500 miles on my ebike. Before I got it, I basically never biked, so almost all of those trips would have been by car. It was ~40 degrees out and I was on my way to swim when I hit 500 miles. Absolutely life changing.

Anybody out there with a Tern Quick Haul have a trailer they use for carrying extra stuff? Ideally I'd like to be able to carry a couple crash pads when bringing the kid to the crag or a kids bike when she's tired of biking and we need to still make our way home.

Pennsylvania bike shop owners are sounding the alarm. Their healthcare premiums are set to triple. Profit margins are crushed. Every few months another 10% hike. And kids’ bikes jumping from $250 to $400? They fear fewer children will even get a bike this Christmas.

Many fire departments around the world use ladder trucks with outriggers that fully deploy in far less than 26 feet of width. In fact, many have outriggers that work just fine on streets with far less than 20’ of clear width.

If you want safe streets, you need to buy fire engines that fit on safe streets. The same goes for ladder trucks, foam tenders, HazMat rigs, and other fire department vehicles.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.

The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.
Waymo privatized another public street:

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

People always say that the East Bay had a great train system before BART that we should restore. So I re-created the Key System and Southern Pacific "Red trains" in SubwayBuilder to test this! The stops and routing are accurate and based on year 1940, when Bay Bridge rail service was at its peak
