102 years later we are much less ambitious 😭
Check out this 1923 transit plan commissioned by the Chicago City Council. We use to be insanely ambitious. A network like this would've supported Paris-level population densities.
It's never too late!

Fox News is confused by Trump's friendly meeting with Mamdani.
"You know, it was a surprise to see those two getting along as well as they did. A couple of times I asked the mayor-elect a tougher question, and the president almost helped him dodge it."

Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

I didn’t know how to feel about this but every clip I have seen is Mamdani being himself and Trump bending over backwards to ingratiate himself to Zohran. None of the reverse.

Each these post-left, nü-catholic reactionary trads get *so* close to discovering the true contradiction at the heart of modernity, that capitalism has instrumentalized nature, alienated us from the social bonds humans require to function in linguistic communities. But then they get horny

The Department of Homeland Security falsely claimed people were firing fireworks at them. Instead, it was their own flashbacks on video, the judge said.

Federal officials claimed protesters had shields with nails in them, but they actually just had cardboard. They claimed a protester threw a bike at them, but they actually threw the bike. And they claimed that a protester ripped a man’s beard off but … no proof

If you say "Trump is a threat to democracy" and vote like this, you simply don't believe what you say.
The idea that swing state Dems would "need" to vote for this is also laughable. No one in your district is kept up at night by the idea that a crooked cop in DC won't get hired back.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup.
If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock.

Despite Ezra Klein making a big stink previously about how this broadband grant program hadn't delivered yet, I haven't heard him revisit his criticisms now that MAGA has completely hijacked the plan and redirected huge swaths of funds to a white supremacist. Which is not, you know, abundance.

U.S. political journalism is entirely some sort of bizarre kayfabe
the entire news cycle about Musk "leaving politics" wasn't based on anything material. The man literally bought himself an authoritarian administration and has been endlessly showered with taxpayer money.

Musk's "time away from politics" involved having Republicans completely revamp the 2021 infrastructure bill so that a huge swath of the $42.5 billion in taxpayer broadband grants are funneled to his company (and away from better options) in exchange for satellite service he already planned to offer
