Using the Mercator Projection on a sphere is bold

See this would actually do some good.

Um

Everyone should read Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett to see this much more deconstructed with wit and biting (ha!) social commentary.

Charlotte could never. By the time we got to eleven we'd be naming chain steakhouses and some sandwich shop from 1945 that closed two years ago.

The only explanation is what we've all suspected for some time: NCGOP is functionally illiterate. Things they can't read range from "the room" to "the writing on the wall" and include all the half-formed legislation sent to them via 2am DMs from lobbyists drunk on free booze.

I was playing a "Both Sides" drinking game to this morning's Charlotte Talks, but now I am dead.

It's pretty clear Virginia's voter purge violated National Voter Registration Act's ban on removing voters too close to election & also wrongly targeted a lot of US citizens. But SCOTUS supermajority reinstated it 6 days before election. Very troubling sign for voting rights

I am 6 out of 10 worried about the right numbers of people in the right areas turning out to vote for Harris. I am 8 out of 10 worried about shadowy quasi-legal avenues Republicans will pursue (up to the suspiciously compliant Supreme Court!) to subvert the will of voters.

So Charlotte Vision Zero is *getting* the message, but I'm nut sure they know how to *communicate* the message. Below: the reflective sticker sent home from my kid's school (which I imagine was programmed to go out before trick or treating)

What will you be declaring yourself when Trump declares his victory? I'm considering "Monsignor of Senegal."

Many Vision Zero cities/states in the US now have more crash deaths than before they "committed" to VZ. VZ is a policy structure built around the idea that humans make mistakes, and they shouldn't be fatal. But in the US, it's often just a talking point. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

I legitimately did not grok to this asymmetry until listening to the Operation Mincemeat cast album.

John Mulaney's musical SNL sketches have plummeted in quality to the level that I expected of the first one.

This election isn't just about Trump, it's about stopping the radical rich from pushing the worst education policy money can buy in TX. Vouchers are a costly, ideological-driven scam w/ a tainted past persistently failing to improve student achievement. Use your vote against any

So it would be a performative act of redundancy to propose a constitutional amendment to say the very same thing, right? An unproductive waste of government resources to even propose such a thing, much less put it on the ballot, right??

'Oh, drat,' said Toad.

The relapse.

It's going to be so much worse this time.

School car pick-up lines are a national embarrassment.
