Feeding deer should be illegal.
They’re pests with dwindling populations of natural predators, and they’re destroying our natural wildlife ecosystems.
By all means hunt them, especially the invasive ones, most forestry experts would thank you. Just don’t feed them.

Surprisingly based take on freeway expansion projects from an unlikely source - an automotive journalist
I know it seems contradictory if you aren't familiar with induced demand, but freeway expansions are almost always bad for drivers over the long term

Here’s a hell of a read for my west Texas peeps:
This is a short history of hospital cooperatives lots of which runs through west Texas.
It’s a bittersweet read, I’m left proud of what we’ve accomplished and angry at what we’ve lost. Absolute banger.

I'm convinced that The Bear was made in a lab to convince me specifically to move to Chicago because god damn it's working

Inside Out 2 hits so hard
From what I’m reading it actually gets most of the psychology correct. Beliefs are made by how our emotions process experiences, and combine to form our ever-adaptive sense of self.

My favorite explanation for all the dead Boeing whistleblowers is that Boeing isn’t actually assassinating whistleblowers, but that Boeing has so many whistleblowers out there that they’re just dying at a normal rate

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it
they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting.
YIMBY policies work

I love this oddly colored beast and I'm not ashamed of it. A public library should look so comfortable that I want to dip a grilled cheese into it.
