Safe streets aren't smooth, they have friction.
This design uses curbs, bollards, and pavement color differentiation to create visual friction. It forces the driver to slow down and engage with their surroundings.
No sign can do the work of proper design.

Unhinged take by pro-Russian tech oligarch Peter Thiel.
It’s quite funny that he talks about a surveillance state when his company, Palantir, is the one conducting mass surveillance in the US and many other Western countries.

You can spot the narcissist at any holiday or gathering:
1. They will make it about themselves.
2. They will disrupt your peace.
3. They will malign you in the process.
Sadly, we made one our President, so holidays are going to be like this.

Even the legal justification for drone strikes on senior members of al Qaeda and associated forces (ostensibly covered under the 2001 AUMF) states that strikes are justified only “when capture is infeasible”
This is contemptible. Not only do we now have confirmation Hegseth has been lying from the jump, but it seems neither he nor his team understand that killing everyone on a target list *becomes* an illegal No Quarter Order if targets try to surrender or are neutralized. Their semantic games are vile.

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year.
Of course I have.
The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious.
Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”
