@ryangrim Bro, you’re literally celebrating coerced human shields on Iranian bridges. Do you hear yourself?

When I'm not gnawing through a trash bag in the Chili's dumpster, I provide musings about urban form, politics, and pop culture.

@ryangrim You absolute fucking dipshit. These civilians are being huddled up and forced to act as unwilling human shields. How are you such a naive dipshit?
English
This is a courage and a confidence in Trump’s humanity that I frankly don’t have. Moving display.

💢 THREAD: Iranians form human chains around power plants and bridges as Donald Trump warns “a whole civilization will die tonight” As Trump issued his most explicit threat yet, videos circulating online show civilians gathering around power stations and key infrastructure across Iran in acts of solidarity ahead of his 8 PM deadline. 🎥 Kazerun Combined Cycle Power Plant (southern Iran)

@SolutreanDACA @sircalebhammer It’s a closed loop water system, with no “toxins” being dumped anywhere, you absolute dipshit.

@SquirrelChat @sircalebhammer can i dump toxic chemicals on your backyard and triple your electric bill?

@SolutreanDACA @sircalebhammer This man was at home with his young child, who was a few feet away playing with legos, from where a hail of bullets entered his house.
How can you say this is “nothing” you absolute psychopathic piece of shit.

@sircalebhammer we used to tar and feather politicians. this is nothing.

@visegrad24 Well, Spaniards insist on voting for governments that allow this madness, so let them enjoy the fruits.

🇪🇸 In Riofrío, a 45-year-old Moroccan migrant who had recently arrived in the town went into the street early in the morning armed with an axe and attacked people at random.
One man and two women were hospitalized. One of the women, airlifted by helicopter, is in serious condition.

@saltytunafish1 @ElliotCohe74430 @elonmusk @Tesla @teslaownersSV Bro, do you just choose not to read the data that proves FSD is infinitely safer than human drivers?
English
@ElliotCohe74430 @elonmusk @Tesla @teslaownersSV An actual human driver would have been slowing down the second they saw the nut job was going to walk into the road. The response from FSD was late so all it could do as swerve. PS it didn't perform bad all things considered but not up to par of an alert human driver.

@ForsakenCrown @aarmlovi The backlash would be worse, and actually credible, if this was just another generic, EIFS-clad pile of crap we usually see.
English
@aarmlovi Idk why people actually think traditional design is a silver bullet to stop NIMBYs. They'll always come up with a new reason to oppose new development. It's an irrational position that is impossible to counter with anything other than "this is happening and you can go kick rocks"
English
Huge bummer that this traditionally-inspired architecture isn't mollifying Kansas City NIMBYs who support a 45ft (!) height limit instead
Retail vacancy in the neighborhood is 30%, this rescue plan brings back foot traffic...and the NIMBYs are still mad about 7 stories 🤷♂️

@aarmlovi If you think the NIMBY backlash is bad now, imagine if someone tried to plop a typical glass cube building in Country Club plaza, instead of this 1920s-inspired work of art.

@esaagar That’s amazing that the NASA administrator is checking your janky twitter account. Love it.

Is there a reason that Artemis II doesn't even attempt to get into lunar orbit and will be 4k miles from the surface?
Apollo 8 in 1968 got within 60-70 miles

What evidence is there that the “Trump administration is in favor of high-speed rail”?

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy says the Trump administration is in favor of high-speed rail, but the California project has “wasted billions in taxpayer dollars yet delivered nothing…” cbsn.ws/3NJdmCU

US forces have rescued the second crew member from the F-15E downed in Iran -Axios Special forces were deployed on the ground in Iran on Friday and again on Saturday as part of the search and rescue mission; all are now out of Iran.

@mattyglesias We’re done with bail reform. It’s failed miserably everywhere it has been applied because restorative-justice dipshits abused it. Good job everyone!

@champtgram Fall off? More people are living in Austin than ever. It’s insane. They just finally built enough housing to meet demand.

@mattyglesias Huh? Why couldn’t you just place a tax on any new land created?

This is why land value tax won't work.

@HayDawg2006 @billortiz123 @TVDadsdotcom @ok_post_guy You’re thinking zero new jobs/industries would be created with sustained space travel?
English
@SquirrelChat @billortiz123 @TVDadsdotcom @ok_post_guy The Economy thrives on building new rockets. If reusable rockets become the norm there will be economic shock.
English
Worth pointing out that this is easily the most impressive space mission of the last 30+ years and the prime contractors for the rocket and crew module are Lockheed Martin and Airbus
But hey I'm sure spaceX is getting to Mars any day now

@billortiz123 @TVDadsdotcom @ok_post_guy Economics gives “a fuck.” In order to -sustain- future trips to the moon and mars, you need reusable rockets, which only one company is able to deliver en masse at the moment.
English
@TVDadsdotcom @ok_post_guy Dude who gives a fuck, we are trying to go to mars not catch rockets, you’re obsessed with details not the destination

🚨#BREAKING: Khaliya Burney has now been charged with misdemeanor de*th by vehicle after footage from a doorbell camera captured the moment he hit an 8-year-old girl with his car in Charlotte NC.
His bond is set at just $20,000.
He was out on a $5,000 bond at the time he hit 8-year-old Nyomi Summers with his car for driving with a revoked license and felony conspiracy, a charge he received just 39 days ago.
If he was kept in jail, Nyomi would be alive today.
He has been arrested and released from jail multiple times.

California HSR just released an interim plan to connect LA once the SF-to-Central Valley alignment is finished, rather than waiting to complete 28 miles of tunnels. The interim connection takes nearly 2 hours via Metrolink, compared to the 26 minutes in the original plan.
