I was at cat lounge/rescue/adoption place in my area recently (not to adopt, just to pet the cats) and one of the cats, a maybe ~7mo female tabby with a slightly fucked up ear named Maggie, after spending most of the time I was there hiding in a corner, decided she liked me, came up to me, sat down on my lap, and refused to budge. One of the staff members came up to say "hey man you're at your time limit, but I can see you're in a situation here so just... whenever is chill"
Do you have to commit the murder for it to be bad?
Have you heard the things Elon says, or seen the people he signal boosts, or heard of the people and groups he associates with? It's about as big of a leap as me getting out of bed in the morning, specifically back when I lived in a treehouse and slept on the floor.
Trump is going to get hit harder the fifth time a jury finds him liable for defaming E. Jean Carroll than they did the first time.
Yeah, if it had failed thirty seconds earlier, my day might have looked a lot different. I'm counting my lucky stars on that front, for sure.

I don't think you'll meet a transit/urbanism advocate who will tell you to ride transit that doesn't exist where you are or that is wildly impractical for you. I certainly won't. For me, it's more about doing what makes the most sense for you, while also pushing to change the infrastructure where you are to make transit and urbanism better and more feasible for more people.

Compared to capitalist corporations, unironically yes. It also has the distinct advantage of not being explicitly profit driven by design.
The government might not be able to build Estonia-level broadband infrastructure to the whole country overnight, but put it in the hands of capitalists and you get Comcast, and I think I speak for all of us when I say fuck Comcast. Put it in the hands of government, even a local city government, and you get Chattanooga municipal gigabit on a publicly owned fiber network that's faster and cheaper than pretty much anything you can get anywhere else in the country. Imagine what the USPS could be if we'd given it an ISP division in 2006 instead of doing the IRL Postal Act of 2006.

Yup. This point was also articulated really well by Dan Olson in I think it was the one about "the Metaverse."
