‘People are happier in a walkable neighborhood’: the US community that banned cars | Cities | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM A new housing development outside Phoenix is looking towards European cities for inspiration and shutting out the cars. So far residents love it I dunno about how I feel about the tech startup vibes of this place, but if the general concept of a neighborhood without cars can get off the ground in Arizona it should be able to get off the ground anywhere.

I don't have anything to say other than that this is all really fuckin' grim.

I'm on Bluesky (I have 3 invites if somebody needs them btw), and really the only thing preventing me from switching there full time at this point is that Twitter is still genuinely useful for weather, and I don't see a lot of the weather accounts on follow on Bluesky yet, like the region-specific National Weather Service accounts. Twitter really is an absolute cesspool at this point. Every ad I see is for bottom-tier right-wing news sites or crypto scams.

If you click on a trend about this you just get hit with a wall of blue checks saying absolutely vile shit about Ilhan Omar.

Boss Linda Yaccarino is set to present her plans for the social network formerly known as Twitter to bankers holding nearly $13 billion of its debt, the Financial Times reported.

Republicans scramble to avert shutdown WWW.SEMAFOR.COM Strange bedfellows are working to avert a “Godfather II” ending. The Five Families stuff was in the first movie! You don't know your Godfather movies!

That actually makes it better than I thought. I thought Elon just really wanted it to be in l33t speak

I could buy that that's true for a lot of celebs, but as far as Elon goes, remember that the Tesla models are S, 3, X, and Y because they spell out "S3XY"

I feel like Slate is gradually transitioning into just the sex advice column stuff plus like one article a week about the Supreme Court.

Apparently the Issacson book reveals that Elon and Grimes have a 3rd kid and they named it "Techno Mechanicus"

The direct snap on a 3rd & 1 that lost 3 yards gave me PTSD as a Bears fan. A Matt Nagy special.

I got one for some weird looking grilling accessory that was like "this will melt into your food and kill you dead"

Scrap solution: Burning tires to mine bitcoin - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists THEBULLETIN.ORG Pennsylvania residents and environmental advocacy organizations have asked the state to reject a bitcoin mine's petition to burn scrap tires. Drone strike please
