Description:
More than Slightly burnt skin of a pumpkin that’s been over baked and scooped out. A white hand reaches to grab and chunk, and then feeds it to a dog who is patiently waiting for the free handouts. Dog is medium sized, and colored like chocolate chip ice cream, white with dark brown flecks.
Y’all remember the premise of the Foundation novels? That’s Twitter now.

I don’t understand how I could have spent 6 months living and working in Australia and NEVER have heard this phrase.
And let me tell you, I spent quite a bit of that time discussing spiders.

Peter GleickThe best EV ad I've seen.
Seriously, if EVs had been first to capture the car market, people would have laughed at the ICE.

Anil DashOkay, here's a fun one for everybody: How you could build a fediverse search that people would actually *welcome*. https://anildash.com/2023/01/16/a-fediverse-search/ (No surprise, the key word is "consent".) Let me know what you love or hate about the idea!
Jess👾The biggest lie the US public ever bought into about public transportation - busses, subways, trains, is that should be a profitable service. They're not a profitable service, they're public infrastructure.
Aside from toll roads (which are a regressive tax on the poor and should be eliminated), we don't expect our roads or sidewalks to earn a profit. They're simply a utility that is granted to the public because you live there.
The roads don't close at 2AM just because not enough people drive on them for them to turn a profit, they're there 24x7x365 for people to be able to get from point A to point B no matter when they need to go there. When I buy a house on a road, I don't have to worry that some future administration will decide to tear up that road in front of my house and leave me with no way to get to work. It's simply part of our social contract that you can get to every location in town via a road and a car.
Why can we not offer the public the same for mass transit? Define an area of the city that is a Guaranteed Free Public Transportation zone. Every home and place of business within that zone is guaranteed to have public transportation service 24x7x365 to every other place within that zone. where you'll never have to wait more than 15 minutes, and you won't have to transfer more than 2 times.
Sure, maybe you say "After midnight, the busses don't run, but the city will pay for your taxis, because it's more efficient to run a fleet of taxis than to operate busses", but you've maintained that public infrastructure commitment.
