the end result of knowing basic things about urban planning is reacting to every news story by just constantly wanting to grab people by the collar while shaking them and shouting "do you have any idea how many Americans die in car crashes every year???"

the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance

We're seeing a lot of divergence in the Twin Cities RR networks. The best ones have stayed relatively open, allow press on the line, and are not screening heavily, and are extremely active as a result. Others have locked down tightly and have shrunk enough to be considerably less effective.

today's woke 2 take is that it is not enough to praise woke 1. it is not enough to criticize woke 1. woke 1 was a movement that changed the culture in profound ways. what is necessary is to understand both why woke 1 was so successful and why it ran out of steam

my 2028 primary take here is that if AOC makes a serious run it's hers to lose because I think she will be able to most credibly channel the rage of the primary voters
You know a politician is thinking about running for president when they start making moves on foreign policy: AOC will be headed to the Munich Security Conference and will speak in Berlin with a member of Germany's Social Democratic Party.

The fights over social norms in the 2010s took on the pretense of being about procedure—“cancellation!” “due process!” “woke mobs!”—because the people who opposed Me Too and BLM didn’t want to avow their support of the underlying conduct. That was always a pretext, and now they’ve dropped it.

I really love this piece, as I firmly believe in the power of the arts to speak truth to power. The ruling class demand that artists now "shut up and sing" for them is revealing -- we are their servants, nothing more or less.

yeah, it's like *we* say go ahead and do whatever you want between consenting adults (within reason), while *they* insist that everyone should be forced into permanent hetero marriages while getting coked out of the skulls and fucking someone else's wife bsky.app/profile/cmer...
Hmmm I feel there's a value statement behind this, and maybe both are ok except for the pedo stuff, which indeed is pervasive on the Right, and the hypocrisy of it all?

The myth that the Bolsheviks seized power through violent insurrection colors the imagination of too many on the left today. As @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com argues, the history is quite the opposite.
To win, we need the power of the state, and violent insurrection is not the path to obtain it.

From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

Hey @icegov.bsky.social I confess. Here is a list of my activities, which I believe you have deemed criminal and even terroristic. I can only assume those claims are real and not an attempt to intimidate lawful observers out of lawful activities, in which case you should arrest me and charge me.

If I had to give one piece of relationship advice to young women who are attracted to men, it would be to only date men you think would be fine with you making more. Nothing wrong with him making more or even you being a stay at home mom. But if he'd be triggered by you making more, he's a loser.

The real issue here is that people credulously believed that populism was leftism.
That's what this comes down to. A willingness to believe populist rhetoric over the actual evidence of a candidate's words and actions.
Some folks got fleeced, and, years later, refused to admit it.
