I'm just shocked at the vanity of people aggressively voting third party. They value the purity of their voting record more than other people's lives. They think they're the first generation to figure out morality or the secret cheat code to change the system.

If intent matters and results don't, I'll write in my favorite fictional candidate!

Most people can't afford to move.

Cars don't scale.

As soon as there is real traffic, cars become inefficient trains.

If you're somewhere that doesn't have much traffic yet, it'll seem fine, but that doesn't always last.

If you can make a bicycle work, that's much healthier and cheaper to own and operate for all those people that can't afford a car, or don't want to be indentured to it. Cargo bikes even work fine for groceries, depending on your family size.

Months are the craziest, weirdest, stupidest measure humanity has used for this long. ISO8601 week dates make more sense, or even the French Revolutionary Calendar. Humans organize all of society by weeks, not by months. Compare last January to next January, or last February to next February for metrics. Do they have the same number of weekdays vs weekend days? Even if they do, do they happen at the same point in the month so you can compare the flow of the month? Now compare two weeks, and that's apples to apples. Group by weeks instead of months and your irregular, bumpy graph smooths right out. We only hang on to Gregorian months out of inertia.

Saw this on Mastodon:

I guess it needs to be said again, but politico is owned by a fascist German billionaire who has repeatedly said his goal is to get trump elected, and help the far right transnational movement. He literally is on record telling people in the newsroom at politico to pray for Trump

Did it? I didn't bother with the article, and only shared a screenshot of a post about the headline.

On top of the likelihood that a ban would be very politically expensive, distracting, and watered down to pointlessness.
