American cities have spent billions of dollars solving the problem of housing for cars at the expense of housing for humans.
One of my favourite things about humans is how we have enormous spaces for cars to “sleep” (parking lots) but (a) not that much for humans; and (b) it is illegal for no good reason to sleep in said cars even with engines off. May the asteroid come soon 👍🏽

I'll be serving up an NA cranberry sangria this year!
If you are looking for good NA beer options and have no idea what to choose, see if any of the options are brewed in Waunakee, WI. Chances are they're good.

Most of the U.S. is expected to see less snow this year, continuing a long-term trend of snowfall decline as global temperatures rise.
