Every morning, when I wake up, the first thing I do is drink a big glass of leaded gasoline because I'm an American and it's my right. The next thing I do is wonder how horrible it would be to live in a country that regularly imprisons children.

I live in DC, so my vote doesn't really matter. So I'll be leaving the president spot blank, and just voting for the most left non-incumbents I can on city council, ed board, etc etc.

The evolution from "Stalin didn't help enough" to "Stalin didn't help at all" to "Stalin actually killed them" regarding the Spanish Civil War is fucking wild.

Editing to fix my dog ass grammar

There's been a long running issue about adding bike lanes to Connecticut ave in DC, which has a lot of retail and restaurants, and is also very busy traffic wise. I have seen every bad faith argument imaginable against them: it's bad for workers because less business, it's bad for workers because too much business, it will be bad for DC Metro because people will bike instead of taking the train, it's ableist, it's ageist, etc etc. I think the best one was that cyclists are more likely to die in a traffic collision than people in cars, adding the bike lanes will cause more traffic fatalities.

I'm just thinking of the way ebikes get framed as a luxury good, reserved only for the highest of income earners, when if we had the infrastructure to support them, they could replace countless car that are multiple times as expensive.

Praying for him, Amber, and his daughter. At first I thought Will was doing a bit about him being in the hospital afflicted with the serious medical condition of fatherhood or something, as a way to say they're late because his kid was born and he's going on paternity leave. Worst shit always happens to the best people.
