FWIW, if you live in or near any major American city with access to the Interstate Highway System, you should be aware that @SecretaryPete's comments re racism and our infrastructure are accurate.

We must somehow persuade members of Congress that standardized tests don’t reduce inequity, they lock it into place. We should have learned this from 20 years of federally mandated testing. We must change course and unleash children’s love of learning and curiosity.
3/ I call this a custom therapizing bench. Basic mortise and tenon joinery. Made in Pine to keep it light weight for easy mobility. Designed to be the right height for comfortable viewing from a couch. Certainly it's not a radical design innovation. You could do something ...
This is my small contribution to Pandemic-era furniture design. Today is my beloved wife's birthday. A special birthday. She's a psychotherapist with a general practice, but specializing in grief. Like many therapists the pandemic has shifted her practice to virtual sessions.
I can't watch this. I get too anxious. Not much about this election, but it brings back painful memories.

Since 1963 the federal government has conducted 13 executions. Ten of those have been in the last 5 months. Three have been conducted since the November 3rd national election.
Both @joshtpm and @Kate_Riga24 have given the Biden campaign major props for keeping focused on the right states and I feel like jumping up and down every time they do 😆🤓📊🇺🇸🎉
@GrahamDumpleton This phenomenon rules my life ( not necessarily a bad thing as I’ve embraced it and eliminated unnecessary guilt/frustration ). It’s why some of us love to work at night when the world sleeps....
What is the name for the sort of tech paralysis you get when you feel you can't start working on the project you have to do because you feel you are only going to get interrupted and so will not be able to make progress in the time you have?
@zeynep The incompetence and “entertainment value” is exactly why he succeeded so spectacularly. No truly competent authoritarian would succeed. That is not what we need to fear. ( there IS plenty to fear e.g. the entertainment value of disinformation)
On the one hand, the incompetence is now on full display. Four Seasons Landscaping for the win! 😬 On the other hand it’s only *last week* he got abandoned by Fox News, and saw actual pushback from Facebook and Twitter. Only after he lost. Watch the next four years for that, too.
Trump was incompetent at his brand of authoritarianism, and he lost. But this isn't a triumph: the Democrats lost almost everything else. Make no mistake, about what's coming: The next Trumpist, in 2024, will be talented, competent and not easy to beat. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
