This is one of the reasons congestion pricing works.
i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine
"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

This 1800s duplex packs over 6,000sf of total living space, with a shared backyard, on a small 4,300sf lot.
This is illegal to build essentially everywhere in Massachusetts today… including on this same lot.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The idea that we get *less* migration from a destabilized Venezuela is madness.
Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

![Hey! You're Reading in the Wrong Direction!
This is the end of this graphic novel!
To properly enjoy this VIZ graphic novel, please turn it around and begin reading from right to left.
Unlike English, Japanese is read right to left, so Japanese comics are read in reverse order from the way English comics are typically read.
This book has been printed in the original Japanese format in order to preserve the orientation of the original artwork. Have fun with it!

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

I must briefly be an Art History Student here: the process of digitizing an Impressionist painting in this way completely changes the context Impressionism itself. A low-res GIF file is small enough that the tiny paint pips become invisible, but are in turn, replaced by larger pixels.
Amazing.

The thing about the setting to make alt text mandatory is that Bluesky didn't bother making that the default.
Like, you have to by default opt-in to see sexually suggestive images, so they clearly know how powerful default configs are, but for alt text they've never cared enough.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Wizard of Oz deserves its status as a classic piece of cinema but it's also so wild that every story from its production is like, "The producers decided to use face paint that was laced with benzos and ground up copper which kept the actor from being able to breathe during filming"

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"
