We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

For the most part, driving is super inefficient but at least it's really expensive and also quite dangerous.

serious posting about a joke post, but this sort of thing has been almost entirely driven by car centric development of soulless big box stores

back in the day if you needed a coat you could just go to The Coat Store and talk to the Coat Guy. but now a days the Coat Store also has to sell whiskey stones

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

I’ve been feeling nostalgic for the first few months of the pandemic for a long time now. It was quiet, everyone was outside, the cooking and the art people were doing was incredible, there was the briefest moment of cultural togetherness before the anti-mask nonsense started.

The Golden Age is going so well, Americans are nostalgic for 2008.

It is a core flaw of our growth obsessed economy that creation of new infrastructure outpaces our capacity to maintain the old. Taxing unrealized capital gains is essential step to bringing economy back down to earth.

chat is this sustainable?

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Another Iowa Dem releases an ad in response to anti-trans ads against her. "We need to protect kids, and we need common sense rules to keep sports fair for boys and for girls. Parents know what's best for our kids. Washington needs to stay out of it." From Lindsay James, IA-02.

I’ve ridden to the store for as little as a single pepper. That’s true freedom.

The "massive weekly grocery haul" is a symptom of car-dependent sprawl, not a universal rule of life. Healthy cities don't force you to drive to a warehouse store. Good design makes grabbing fresh food a quick, passive part of your daily walk or bike commute. These straw men arguments bore me.

Yes, but have you considered the brave soul who was minorly inconvenienced by a cyclist on a Lime bike, and came on here to tell us all how awful cyclists are. They're all literally worse than Hitler!

We gotta seize this dude and all of his enabler’s assets after this. He’s done too much damage. It’s not enough for these people to just sail away from this on a big boat. That’s our boat.

Like, McConnell's handlers are engaged in some sort of unholy cross between ventriloquy and abuse of a corpse here, and I can only hope that the people benefitting from all this suffer a similar level of indignity during *their* decline.

It’s a pretty big problem that like 60% of the population straight up has no idea how anything works

Hey drivers: I need you to understand that when you get to an intersection and there's a cyclist crossing in front of you, even if YOU know you see them, there's a good chance THEY don't know you do. Come to a fucking stop till they cross. Stop fucking rolling at them. Fucksake.

There I said it, I don’t like Trump. That’s why I wrote in Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 2024. Now can I go back to writing a few thousand tweets about the dangers of the woke left without being accused of partisanship?

It will cost very little to bulldoze every last bit of this nonsense, and the benefits to our national psyche will be incalculable. Every serious candidate needs to be on Team Raze

i think jon Ossoff said it best: the reason Trump is going crazy with building these monuments as fast as he can is that he knows that once he’s gone nobody else is going to build anything in his name
