Que pena.

I thought Macron was the one who has been urging against more involvement and talking to Putin off and on. What changed?

I heard someone say there’s a North Montenegro now. Is that true?

They were briefly fairly free in the ‘90s, but the experience of their version of the shock doctrine was so painful that the people begged to be ruled again.

I used to smoke in the shower in the ‘70s. Loved it.

I also had a roommate who had to get up at least once per night to smoke.

Return to office.

The performance envelopes of vehicles sharing bike lanes these days are wildly different. I dread the day that RTO is complete, and rush-hour bike lanes are shared by e-bikes, e-unicycles, one-wheels, push scooters, e-standup-scooters, smaller sit-scooters, monkey bikes, e-skateboards, skateboards, and whatever else I’m missing.

Years ago, I heard an NPR piece about a French -ologist of some kind, who was revolutionizing advertising in the States, and he mentioned a small car that consumers viewed as saying “Rape me!” We are all driving around in jacked up station wagons, because of some weird, atavistic urges to feel inviolable and cosseted.

Fundamentally, SUVs are an inefficient design for a passenger car. Even small crossovers, and I drive one myself, are inefficient relative to a station wagon offering the same volume and space for passengers and cargo.

SUVs burn relatively more gas, they use more tires, they damage roads more, they are less controllable due to higher centers of gravity, they have poorer visibility of pedestrians and cyclists, and they require shitloads of engineering just to hide their shitty performance and safety characteristics.

That’s England.

Until the majority of voters who lived through ‘91 to ‘00 die off, he’s fine.

Bentham pilled.

I went to a Horn & Hardart in the ‘80s. It seemed kinda worn out.

Ha! I’m a fan of you now.
