Maybe b/c I went to law school, where I learned a lot of this stuff, but I’m always surprised how many people don’t realize how racist, unjust, and downright shocking our carceral system is. Anyway, every American should watch this John Oliver piece on the fucking ridiculous crime of felony mirder.

There's a strain of non-meaning in present American mass culture - not meaninglessness, or incoherence (the first being modernist, the second being old-style Gothic) - but non-meaning, signifier-less signs all over the place.

You guys know what is crazy is that i taught probably 5000 college-age students and never once emailed a famous pedophile for tips on how to make them fuck me, I am just weird that way i guess.

99.9% of American transportation infrastructure is now built around trying to replicate and enforce this experience
In 16th cen Florence, the Uffizi (now a famous art museum but originally the Offices of the Medici) were connected to the family's Pitti Palace by a passageway--the Vasari Corridor--that ran across the Arno. This made it possible to avoid people when commuting.
13yo me was shocked to learn this.

Rep. Larsen, the ranking Dem member of the House transport committee, said: “Where do these harebrained ideas come from? Millions of people travel everyday using transit… Transit investments create and support jobs. Need I go on? These heavy-handed, top-down, egghead think tank ideas need to die.”
Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit
These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

We all got that one homie who loses a big, white, thick, round button with four holes.
We all got that one friend who goes to get you both some sweet, cold ice cream on a hot, sunny day, but the ice cream melts on them and the cones stick to their head and various animals run away thinking it is a scary thing, until they fall in the pond and it washes away all the ice cream.

And how much Transportation is hidden in the other categories? What portion of Housing costs is the garage under your apartment building? What portion of Food is the sea of parking surrounding the supermarket? What portion of Healthcare is car-related injury and respiratory disease?
Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)!
To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.

With $3 billion you could easily 10x transit service for the 1 million+ people in Santa Clara County
In California’s far north, an audacious feat of highway engineering is crumbling toward the ocean. The fix is expected to cost upward of $3 billion.
