55 years ago today, Sesame Street made its debut.
This is the original show open from 1969.

I genuinely think that Sesame Streets depiction of city life made me think of no other future for myself than living in a city

1. Best: the art, the creativity, the resistance
2. Public transit & car culture. I'm more worried about my kid getting mowed down by shitty drivers than anything else

Unconscionable that CHOP is thinking of building a 1,000 car garage amidst a climate crisis, childhood asthma epidemic, instead of investing in active mobility and transit for employees and visitors when SEPTA is financial ruin and requesting the public's support

I can’t say this enough. But all of Pennsylvania needs SEPTA to be stable in order to power the greater Philadelphia area to be the economic center that the rest of the commonwealth requires of us. www.inquirer.com/transportati...
SEPTA plans to cut service on dozens of routes and may lay off staff amid funding crisis
SEPTA's budget, unveiled Thursday, cuts 45% of service and raises fares to make up a monetary deficit that has been brewing for years.

Like the thing that’s causing the entire world to lose confidence in our country and turn on it is not Trump. It’s our debased, collaborating institutions and their near-universal acceptance of the notion that winning 49.9% of votes makes Trump a king.

every restaurant is going to become the banquet hall at Mar-a-Lago. The driest pork chop you’ve ever seen absolutely covered in parsley with twelve peas and a handful of way overcooked baby carrots on the side. The center piece of every table is a rocks glass of soco with a cigarette butt in it.
restaurant profit margins are thin enough, but any restaurants that heavily feature coconut milk, fish sauce, gochujang, teff, berebere, cumin, sichuan pepper, avocado, black vinegar, chili crisp oil, cardamom, tamarind, or soy sauce are in for a world of pain

really feel like writing something on how steep tariffs may destroy restaurants that depend on imported ingredients to replicate non-American flavors—and thus spark a movement toward more conservative, blander food scenes throughout the US

Americans voted against the most successful economic recovery of any nation on the planet for this, because they were mad at their servants being paid more and listened to liars who made them feel good.

For most people, the time they spend in their cars is the most dangerous part of their lives.
Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

Lots of Dems, after 2020, dismissed arguments to curb the DHS and local police as reckless. What they mistook for radical chic, though, was just realism — and a recognition that unless curbed, surly law-enforcement institutions pose a threat to constitutional self-governance.
Every Congress since the creation of DHS has been a missed opportunity to roll it back, dismantle it, and abolish its component parts. Ideally, this would have been signed under an Obama term, but it could even have happened under Biden, had he taken the live threat as seriously as he should've.

one insane thing about schumer's statements about khalil is that trump has been perfectly clear that he has not suspected of a crime. schumer nonetheless provided trump with an opportunity to confabulate a crime both trump and rubio have denied occurred. just lying to defend the president.

Schumer and the other Vichy Dems decision to fund Trump's government I think was made in part because it was the choice that allowed them to pretend that the coup wasn't happening at all, rather than admit the painful truth that it's happening and we're losing it.

Quite a fun moment when the security contractors who had been terminated by the USIP but had switched their allegiances to DOGE entered the property with an unconfiscated key and headed immediately to the gun safe.
