Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

This can work ... but ADA and other accessibility issues cannot be ignored, either.
My usual bus stop is really close to another stop; but the other stop is at a marine industry and workers use it. The shoulder on the busy highway between the two stops is about a foot wide.

I completed my final count. Out of 10,511 bus stops, I found that 4,360 (41%) of them could be removed to align with national best practices of 1/4 mile spacing. Long-form explainer article and an interactive map are forthcoming. Green dots are removed stops, black are kept stops.

Picture from 10 years ago? .... don't have one at hand, digital anyhow, but I just married the coolest woman on the planet and was living grandly in a little apartment that opened directly over Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo.

And why should someone have to bear the cost of food delivery? Or be restricted to Walmart? And how did this become specifically about Atlanta? So many goal posts.
Anyway delivery is not an adequate replacement for a physical store in accessible proximity of where one lives.

Walmart+ costs $13/mo and gives free delivery on orders over $35.
You can get fresh produce in any 'food desert' near-ish to a Walmart, which includes all of Atlanta.

That's 160F, so 71 in adult numbers. Which is real, real bad. Urban heat island effect has an enormous impact on the people and wildlife that live in the city.
Sound design choices aren't just about aesthetics, and people really need to stop treating them like they are.

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.

Data from June 19, when the daily high was 106 degrees, shows asphalt across the city that day was between 120 and 160 degrees.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Seriously. I blasted some tropicalismo and Os Mutantes on the speaker, wore rain gear, and loved literally every second of my errand run. I even bought another turkey because they are on sale.

One of the kids' 2cd grade teachers sends out a weekly newsletter.
Each week, one student is chosen to be the weekly 'star' and share things with the class. The 'star' gets a blurb about their favorite color, their favorite foods, and their hopes for the future. I love reading these each week!

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.
Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

this is particularly loathsome when you look at the current state of the oregon republican party, who, like all blue state republican parties, have chosen to go stark-raving mad rather than trying to moderate even a small amount to fit the state they want to represent
