Upon visiting 🇺🇸 over the summer after 5 years in 🇮🇹 I couldn’t get over how loud everything in the city was. Half the time you can’t have a conversation on the sidewalk.

Back in 2017-2020 I heard way too many officials and people say "why invest in public transit? We're going to have self-driving cars soon".

My $.02 is Trump’s coalition is miraculous and once he kicks the bucket each faction (religious, nativist, xenophobe, techie, business) is going to scramble for dominance and none will catch the same lightning in a bottle. I can’t believe it’s worked and it’s gonna be a mess when it unravels.

Sounds like the author is spending 5 paragraphs writing "we're doomed. This guy will never come around" and everyone In Italy and Europe needs to heed this message.

Probably, but I’ve found most “establishment” Italians don’t fully understand Trump. They think he’s Berlusconi: a goofy, sex ridden, corrupt, populist who was embarrassing but didn’t change their lives. This regime is way worse, but that nuance is hard to convey.

“Trump could break the spell”??? Ha! Who after all this time could ever believe that? All the regime cares about is themselves. They’d sell out the entire 🇺🇸 for a shiny silver dollar and private 747-8.

As a progressive Bluesky millennial I wholeheartedly support “do the crime, do the time” no matter who is implicated.

Some of the best aspects of UK city planning are the protected greenspaces and public footpaths very near to towns and cities. In our town of 100,000 we could walk out our front door and within 10 minutes be in real nature; this could never happen in USA.
It'd be a real shame to lose that.

That's a lot of faith to put in a fundraising flyer. I've always been surprised a scientist would put so much faith into something something so flippant. I know, it's just a movie.

Right, 10:04. But a lightning strike just lasts a second and there are 60 seconds between 10:04 and 10:05.

Just scrap the darn thing. Fixing it isn’t going to magically solve traffic jams at interstate level, parks, and affordable housing. Look how much demand there is for valuable land.
