Something I appreciate is how this show is plotted so that the plot arcs you expect to be drawn out or the twists you expect to happen are usually subverted.
The show relies less on shock and more on the understanding that human behavior (suspicion, guilt, pride) is inevitable.

The Glory is such a ridiculously watchable revenge drama. Within the first 10 min you want the MC to destroy all those who wronged her or die trying 😂
The villainy borders cartoonish but the actors (esp. the kids! So good) are chewing up the scenery.

reread DFW's david lynch essay, and i know the guy has taken his (deserved or not) lumps over the years, but i feel like this nails a certain (unspoken) component of the recent reactionary online chatter from dullards about the morality of having non-virtuous fictional characters

My $0.02 cents, saying remote work doesn’t work is more of a reflection on you or your team than you think it is.

If people still think bikes only belong in "parks", that's an excellent reason to shut down the Gardiner and DVP from time to time. Speaking as a car owner. Really tired of aggrieved, entitled drivers taking up all the room.

I am so, so tired of these types of stories always being slanted as "headaches for drivers". And I'm saying that as someone who's driving today.

#AprilAcrossAmerica Day 30 - New Jersey
“Same old insecurity straps him into his car seat
and a sump started leaking all over New Jersey.
Gas stations everywhere;
not one drop to fill me.”

Warning: Road Violence Video/Dooring:
Monday we were in court for a cyclist who sustained serious injured after being doored. Their story inspired us to begin updating our "Dooring Guide"...w/ your help we hope. What steps do you take to avoid doorings, what to look out for etc?

We’re about to enter a world where we will have no way to know if any image or video is real or not.
And we seem to have no plan for how to deal with that.

We’ve confirmed the budget for rebuilding the Gardiner, east of Jarvis, doesn’t factor inflation since 2013, ongoing maintenance costs or opportunities for new housing. We’re facing simultaneous financial, housing, & climate crises- we can’t afford to make this historic mistake.

#Opinion: In Canada, a woman is killed approximately every six days by her intimate partner.
Without a safe transition to a secure home, many will end up in the shelter system or worse. We need solutions that save lives.
