Every time you let the standards slip you set new standards. We are at the end of a long downwards spiral of standards slipping. Look, everyone can believe whatever they want. It’s not about beliefs, it’s about behavior, especially when it affects others. Law and order has to enforce behavior independent of causes. Somehow, some causes seem to be allowed behavior that would never be tolerated from other causes. This double standard has to stop. Imagine the cause here would be flatearthers against indigo for selling globes spamming pro 2D plane slogans. Cities can only function when there is a basic assumption of safety and decency. We must be more assertive with enforcing tenable norms. @oliviachow, we need your leadership here and in all the other unprecedented stuff going in our cities.

.@fordnation spending nearly a billion for a parking garage and tree clearing to realize only $1.1 billion in revenues over *95 years* from @ThermeCanada. He's clearing an Ontario Place urban forest for lemonade stand money. The stupidity of "fiscal conservatives" strikes again.

A reminder that the 401 is an 18-lane highway that moves only 400,000 cars a day. In order to increase capacity by 50%, you’d need to build a NINE LANE, 30m wide tunnel, running for 40km. The widest tunnel in the world is 24m wide and runs just 165 meters in length.

My “For you” is like 80 percent right-wing propaganda. There isn’t an algorithm on the planet that would serve me that content unless someone had their finger on the scale.

FlightAware has a page up tracking the UPS planes loaded with iPhones heading to the US for Friday’s launch. Assuming roughly 300,000 iPhones fit a 747-8F, just one group planes near Alaska was hauling $2,330,200,000 ($2.3 billion) worth of iPhones this morning.

If your idea for turning a company around is "let's do the same shit we were doing but in a physical office" then you are out of ideas.
