This is the purest distillation of American car culture I've ever seen.
Etiene Duschesne@eduschesne1

Wife’s pregnant with baby #2, so we’re SUV shopping. Debating: do we really need a 3rd row? Also, my wife has epilepsy — her last seizure happened on the highway So we’re looking for top-tier safety ratings What should I get ?

@Tyler_A_Harper Collective society helped with that one, failing to attach any respect whatsoever to education beyond the employability stamp.

The takeaway here should not be that students are lazy. 18 year olds aren’t the problem. The problem is that universities have failed to make a persuasive case to their “customers” that they are educational institutions rather than companies that dispense “I’m employable” stamps.
Steve McGuire@sfmcguire79

An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments. The students complained they were too hard and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning styles.’”

@CharlotteMag "Fire Lanes" at shopping centers, ostensibly keep people from blocking fire trucks. But since they aren't traffic lanes, they become defacto parking/standing zones, blocking blocking any fire trucks! If they were traffic lanes, regular traffic flow would keep them unblocked.

Made my debut on @CharlotteTalks today! We talked about the increasing size and number of SUVs/trucks on the road, and how that impacts our city. Hoping they’ll have me back again soon!

@alisoncook Hugo's Does. Not. Miss. Wildly impressive for it to be as good as it is for as long as it has been. Mad respect for that establishment.

Went to a big birthday party tonight catered by Hugo's, and it was SO GOOD! Serious mole; chile relleno; green enchiladas; pluperfect beans and guac and margaritas. Plus lovely staff. So impressed. That's hard to do.

Senators in six swing States won. However Kamala lost all six. There needs to be a forensic investigation immediately. How does that happen. Who has to ask for the investigation?

@JHolmesLives We have my daily commuter, my wife's ebike commuter, her old non-assist bike (my backup), my son's pedal bike that he refuses to ride because the idea of brakes freaks him out, and his old balance bike that we had to hide because the handlebars come up to his knees.

@taradublinrocks @marceelias What about magats that come in to vote for Trump, but leave the rest of the ballot blank? Would that also produce these results?

100% of your political takes are wrong, but what's right is getting back into my danish routine! Pumpkin cream cheese from Loaf.

@marynewsom EXCEPT that corporations can artificially inflate their prices, and then intentionally lower them to reinforce whatever political theory serves them best. Just like Bebe can conduct a unilateral scorched earth campaign, and then stop whenever he wants to make trump look good.

Yes, the Democrats' brand is in the toilet. At the same time, we gotta remember a lotta people seem to think a president can LOWER GROCERY PRICES. It will be fun (of a sort) to watch them realize it doesn't work like that.
Paige Masten@paigemasten

It may be that Democrats need to have a massive reckoning about who they are and how they appeal to voters nationally. But the fact that people reject Democrats so much that they’ll choose fascism and bigotry without even blinking is a reckoning for America.

@babieswithb If you don't have outside walk time scheduled in anywhere else, I cannot recommend it enough. "Get outside; Move your body." was one of my daily mantras of what I call "embarrassingly helpful advice" that helped me shift out of some low funks after leaving corporate

America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist. With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America. If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
