100%. Posted a few times about it on BlueSky. When they build it is a dual purpose. Can be hockey ring or a bomb shelter. Civil defence is part of a culture and people train. I heard even baseball rules are modified to run zig-zag as this is preferred at war. Canada must do similar.

1. If passengers book a flight from the EU and it is canceled or significantly delayed, they are entitled to cash compensation — $300 to $700. In the US, flyers were supposed to get similar rights soon. But those plans have been scrapped by the Trump administration. Here's how it happened. 🧵

Once again, corruption all the time, in plain sight with MAGA.

STUDY: “We find that mixed-use developments generate about 1/3rd less vehicle-miles-travelled than conventional developments, with up to an 80% reduction in certain regions.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

"City planners pointed to other major cities in the United States that have abolished parking minimums, like Austin and Minneapolis. They found that those changes led to reduced development costs, more housing units and improved walkability and transit options..." denverite.com/2025/08/05/d...

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across currently unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river. #TheTruthAboutTraffic

The throughput along Pike Place has skyrocketed since it was pedestrianized...if you're counting group photos per hour instead of vehicles per hour.

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people.  Nothing trickles down.

It most certainly is!

Unacceptable by NDOT. @nashvilledot.bsky.social Let's get this fixed ASAP You've got tens of Millions $ flowing into the Music City Center via the Downtown Bacchanal Zone. Throw a few bucks to ADA improvements. Or just wait to get sued for ADA violations & it'll cost us much more.

Dear god let this man cook.

Eliminating Head Start would be devastating for 800,000 kids and their families who rely on it for early education, health services, and family support. We can't sacrifice their future to fund tax breaks for the rich.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
