hot take: you will find a lot more racism patronizing small businesses than you will find coming from big corporate conglomerates

In 2024 the Police tasered this guy and then kicked him in the head when he was on the floor.
Zack Polanski was right to bring it up, the Police seem to think tasers are to be used to kick suspects in the head easier.

I haven't spoken to anyone in the neighborhood who actually uses this intersection who doesn't think it's an improvement
Michael McLean@cornoisseur
Barely an improvement. Should just be a normal roundabout. The two way roundabout is confusing for all road users here. Why are North American traffic engineers That Way????

I already loved capitalism but knowing it stopped this guy specifically from making terrible art makes me love it even more

I just really, really hate the concept of capitalism. I don’t want to work my job every day. I want to make art. I want to be in my garden. I want to feel something.

the gender gap on nuclear power is probably the most fascinating persistent finding in public opinion, there's a way bigger gap here than on issues we think of as being gender-coded
Tom Chivers@TomChivers
This seems really bad and I don't know what to do about it: not so much the differences in political attitudes, that's fine, but there's a strong gender divide in belief on straightforward factual questions like "is nuclear energy low-carbon?" yougov.com/en-gb/articles…

@daveweigel @EricMGarcia It's like saying 'Which Genesis songs will be remembered 50 years from now" but only talking about the Peter Gabriel era.

Very good argument prompt/list from NYT, because those lists need to start fights.
Identifying a modern "American songbook" but leaving out un-hip megahit artists like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ashley Gorley... I respect the game

@MattZeitlin doing too much cocaine in LA so you [checking notes] move to Berlin with [checkin notes again] Lou Reed

speaks to how beloved david bowie was and just how much cocaine he was using at the time that everyone just let him slide on the "i was using so much cocaine i became a nazi for a few years" thing
1976 Live@50YearsAgoLive
After a trip to Moscow, rock star David Bowie is briefly detained by customs officers at the Poland-Russia border over a collection of Nazi books and mementos with which he travels. He explains that it is for research on a film about Joseph Goebbels and he is released after a few hours.

@upstatefederlst city living has many obvious downsides but that's never occurred to me as being one of them

OK, but what if I don't want garbage trucks rolling through my neighborhood every other day?
Grant Gregory@GrantrGregory
@380kmh @upstatefederlst It’s missing mixed-use development. We want you to be able to walk out your door and grab deli meat / bread on your walk to the train to work. The suburbs don’t allow for this, and stacking a bunch of residential buildings (Soviet style) don’t either.

@gotophilk @mattyglesias A useful middle ground: treat peptides like a real medical category, not a loophole or a moral panic. Better policy would pair access with clean sourcing, clinician oversight, adverse-event reporting, and plain-language risk education.
English
@mattyglesias do Democrats have a positive vision for public health, or is it more along the lines of "put everything back the way it was"? Randomly thinking about, e.g., the Trump/RFK dispensation on tolerating peptides and realized that as a moderately well informed person I

The Man Who Wasn’t There, A Serious Man and Inside Llewyn Davis are 3 Coen Bros. movies that end with the introduction of an outside force so far beyond our comprehension, the struggles up to that point pale in comparison. Those are, an alien spacecraft, a tornado, and Bob Dylan.

Whatever else is going on, an attempted assassin who was underemployed but with a top tier degree is a sign of how destabilizing elite overproduction can be. Good thing we aren't doing anything to nuke the white collar labor market.
