That’s a new dinner party conversation: Who is someone that you hate so much that, if given the time, energy, and crew, you’d produce a 4-part documentary on them?

Obama and his justice department are certified bitches for this
Trump voters are fully responsible for their choices but coming from Texas, I saw a lot of people jokerfied by the failure to punish anyone for the 2007 crash, that shit fostered a lot of cynicism for Trump to take advantage of

Zaslav never championed a single creative project, not a movie, not a tv show, not even something as shallow as a brand, during his time at WB. He added his shitty shows to HBO's streaming platform, killed a few movies, then the studio, and then promptly left.

An awesome and cool thing that's happening now is that when I turn on my TV Roku starts autoplaying ads at 8 million decibels and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn them off :)

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I worked on Vision Zero at LADOT, and it's hard to convey the level of vitriol from drivers towards ANYTHING with the Vision Zero name attached to it. Just unbelievable hostility even before you started to kind of maybe try to start constructing a street improvement.
What a lede on this story: Man who complained about narrowing a road in order to protect pedestrians, so much that the city eventually reversed the change, then kills a woman on that very road with his car www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...
America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

One bone I have to pick with TV shows these days is that there are so few TRUE monster-of-the-week shows. Even ones that are ostensibly MOTW end up being more about the series or season arc.
I simply don't care about people's personal lives! Show me a fucked up little guy and how to defeat him!!

I bet this'd be pretty solid it followed the Smallville formula where pretty teens have a monster-of-the-week adventure, then emotional resolution over a pop song montage, then it goes like eight years longer than it should. Also there's a sex cultist on the cast, and it's not the one you'd guess

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers.

Democrats disproportionately rely on corporations to do their messaging. In this case, energy companies. In many other cases, corporate media. It’s delusional.

One of the funniest things about car brain backlash is that it's self-defeating, almost masochistic.
Drivers get better outcomes from these changes but many of them can't see past their own nose and are committed to a in-group/out-group identity conflict.

DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.
