The fact that we arenโt seeing wall to wall coverage of the vinyl chloride train derailment and explosion in East Palestine, Ohio, is insane.
An entire town canโt return home because the water is contaminated, livestock/crops are destroyed, and reporters are being arrested.

Cargo train rolling through Truckee blows its horn 8 times at 4am.

181 crosswalks are being canceled in the Portland area because drivers can't stop running over the pedestrians who attempt to use them. This is actually a pretty brilliant move by cuz you can't get run over in a marked crosswalk if none exist.

THE DISCOURSE
Quote Tweet
Replying to @colfaxmachine
The discourse is really sad sometimes. People want to live in denver and not just tech bros! Denver in 2011 had a lot of recent immigrants. At least at the school level, you see that way less today. Our obsession with nativism is closing our doors to a lot of communities.
Get way more hate for renting a 1 bedroom apartment if itโs โluxuryโ on here than for owning a houseโsignificantly more expensive.

This proposal is a start but is woefully inadequate. We donโt need a 2+ year study followed by a 3 year phase in. 14 states are doing this. Write and pass a bill and implement it tomorrow. Itโs not that hard. Why do we do this to ourselves?

I would love some enterprising MBA type to actually study this: How much are drug stores saving by doing this vs. losing customers/sales
Because I just don't bother anymore, I buy all that stuff at my local grocery story which has nothing locked behind plexiglass ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Iโm not going to CVS for toiletries anymore. Everything is locked up. You canโt even get deodorant without having to call an employee to assist you.

To pass the traffic engineer licensing test, you should have to push a stroller back and forth across 2, 4, 6, and 8 lane roads, across a high-speed freeway on-ramp, and over a mile of broken sidewalks

At this point I'm filming every time we cross one of Berkeley's dangerous streets.
When some driver does eventually run over me and my baby, someone can at least unlock my phone to get the car's make and model.

This facts in this tragic and unnecessary death are essentially the same as with my friend and former roommate, Shuo Zeng.
Shuo chased the guys who stole his laptop, and was dragged by the getaway car and killed.

"It's impossible to stop egregious drivers in the largest vehicles" says every DOT after some poor soul gets mashed on one of their paint-and-plastic street treatments.

People say this when they're trying to obscure the fact that we need to need them as little as we can possibly manage, as fast as we can
Talking about vague "need" rather than quantity and speed = benefits for fossil industry
Also see: "We can't turn off fossil fuels overnight"

Tonight Biden called the climate crisis an "existential threat" that we have "an obligation, not to ourselves, but to our children and grandchildren" to confront.
Then he ad-libbed: "We're still going to need oil and gas for awhile...for at least another decade. And beyond that"

This doesn't inspire confidence, we're already watching the acceleration of the destruction of the environment and the displacement of people. We're on the Frontlines and can't continue to be sacrificed for short term gain.

The art of pitching VCs' comes down to one of two things:
1. Do they personally like you.
2. Can you help them commit fraud/quasi-legal grifts.
