Remember that time there was a two lane highway in the heart of Paris and Mayor Anne Hidalgo was like "Fuck that! We are closing it to cars and giving it back to the people!" Nice

PS I hope Zohran Mamdani does this everywhere in New York City, nonstop

Instead of belting out Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” you ever go with the alt “Sweet Valley High?”

Remember last December when South Korean President Yeol imposed martial law. The people immediately mobilized and legislators flat went toe to toe with soldiers. They stopped it within 24 hrs. Always be like South Korea and don’t take a President’s bullshit.

This Sunday, once again, I think of the hellish conditions in Norway:
-Always Top 10 Happiest Countries
-Universal Healthcare
-Highest per capita GDP
-Sovereign Wealth Fund
-50%+Unionization
-Free College- Tuition/Housing
-Absolutely dominate the Winter Olympics in a country of 5M people

What an absolute fucking cunt
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Short of victory, Aftyn Behn’s run in TN Special Election was a total win:
-GOP wasted millions of dollars in a DEEP Red District
-Behn gave the Democratic Party and the country an excellent read on what is possible in 2026, D+13-14 shift
-She’s still a TN State Representative

Last note, this is a txt from high speed in one of my classes. He just started a union electrician job at a utility plant. I literally bought him Zyns? last month after taking them all out to lunch, he’s 20 years old. Talk about having a great life!

If you have a HS age son or daughter & they don’t know exactly what they want to do. Send them Electrician track to a local community college for 1.5-2 yrs. A crew of young men & women I took classes with are making a minimum 70-80K & the majority wil make anywhere between 120-150K, first year.

I enjoyed government run supermarkets for over 20 years. They are called “Commissaries.” You can find them on literally any US Military Post (Base). In Mamdani’s New York, you won’t have to be in the stink ass Army to enjoy one.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

The goal is for the store to become profitable without any government subsidy within three years.
