Connecticut: The land of round intersections

Build baby build

www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...
Get ready for more roundabouts. Connecticut could build 100 in the next decade
Modern roundabouts are different than older style traffic circles, and are significantly safer than signal intersections, experts say.

it’s donut and pie season and I just want to remind the nation that there is no nutmeg in connecticut, that is a tropical plant. The state is called the nutmeg state because early yankee peddlers used chunks of wood carved to look like nutmeg to trick people into trading them for better goods

Why don’t cars backfire anymore. We’re missing out on highly comedic moments. How are we supposed to have an Uncle Buck reboot if cars don’t backfire anymore. How are we supposed to have scenes of shrieking posh white people thinking someone shot a gun. I’m so sick of DEI ruining everything

i think our boy is going to actually have a surprisingly pleasant time at the white house and later the president will post something bizarre like "if it weren't for how communists have killed trillions of people they could be great businessmen! new york is about to be hot hot hot!"

to the 11 other people from #NWCT on this website, can we gather together and get a REAL (not infared) sauna situation for the good people in the hills to use? It snows almost everyday in the snow belt…I need hot rocks

I have said things about this in the past but: CT only having one immigration court– in Hartford!– is criminal because CT has essentially no public transit between cities. How can someone get from Danbury to Hartford when it requires multiple buses, multiple trains, and sometimes 8+ hours of time?
NEW: I spent a week in Connecticut’s only immigration court, where thousands of people each year learn if they can stay in the United States.

The court doesn’t allow photography, so I took an illustrator.

My latest for @ctinsider.bsky.social

A week inside the opaque court where CT immigrants learn their fate
The courtroom often resembles an assembly line, with many cases taking less than five minutes.

New Hampshire is a man and Vermont is a woman. They are brother and sister. The rest of the states don’t have gender or families.
