Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

what the fuck is happening to us
Netflix has agreed to buy Warner Bros. in a deal worth $82.7 billion, a deal that would unite two of the biggest libraries in film and animation and reshape the streaming and, potentially, theatrical landscapes.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Newgrounds is the only reliable source left
Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.
Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

Don't sleep on Michelle Wu, one of this country's most quietly effective climate leaders, cruising to a second term in Boston. It's telling that business interests tried and failed to stop her and are pouting about it now

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Remember when they tried to blame the 2008 subprime crisis on the Community Reinvestment Act, a law promoting loans in middle and low income areas that was passed back in 1977?

They will *always* find a way to blame black people. It’s all they’ve got.
These guys are unserious clowns. Most of the unoccupied housing is not where the jobs are. Pray tell, how is someone living in rural Kansas supposed to find a job in San Francisco?
DEI is the real cause of America’s housing crisis
Census data shows 15 million excess housing units exist, contradicting claims of a housing shortage that activists use to justify eliminating local zoning laws.

This is why I have never understood the idea that Black people focus on slavery too much. Baby, it's the historical equivalent of last week. We're not even 200 years post slavery.
america is such a young country.

‘That the futurists who want to break the bounds of mortality are the ones most committed to the immutability of gender says something about how useful the concept is to them. Their insistence on masculine hegemony is an insistence on order and hierarchy.’

Last night’s dinner with Trump and Big Tech wasn’t a policy meeting. It was basically 'The Bachelor,' except instead of roses, the prize was the president’s approval.
