Seriously, though, Trix ads were a great example of psychological manipulation. They don’t try to convince you that Trix is desirable—because of course everybody wants Trix—instead they frame the question: Does the rabbit get any? It was an example of the Thinking Past The Sale technique.
But, as the article says, the idea is not to mimic the form of Paris as it is, but to take lessons from the incredible, ongoing transformation into a bike-friendly city.
A lot of people park their cars on the “bicycle boulevard” that I live on, in order to visit businesses on the street a block over. Then they get out wearing all black and cross the street, and they’re very-nearly invisible. I think we should have a law that drivers must wear hi-viz at all times, in case they need to get out of their cars.
(And helmets. Drivers should wear helmets. Head injuries from car crashes are still a serious problem.)
Is this the same Ireland where a TD couldn’t get into Dublin to propose a congestion-mitigation policy to the Dáil Éireann because he was stuck in a traffic jam for THREE AND A HALF HOURS? But, yeah, go ahead, discourage bicycling with punitive laws. What could go wrong?
and he knows trump could have him and his entire family murdered with one phone call.
Yes, [REDACTED] brought up the Hortman assassination a propos of nothing on social media, and within 12 hours, Walz dropped out of the governor’s race quite unexpectedly. That was my first thought, that the regime has made its threat clear to him.
This argument only seems to come up in the context of AOC running. It never seems to apply to all the MAGA women, or even right-wing Dems. And it seems very odd to argue that a woman can’t win votes due to sexism, and to cite as evidence a woman who won.
Since it’s a heavy rail project with one stop, and it’s L.A., I would expect a giant parking lot at the station on the San Fernando side.
That’s realistically the only fix for gerrymandering. It’s a powerful weapon, and I don’t foresee the two parties honoring any agreement not to use it.
My timbers have been shivered.
Again, agree, but a woman candidate getting the most votes is just not good evidence of sexism. Al Gore also didn’t get enough votes.
Could very well be, but Hillary Clinton’s presidential run doesn’t provide evidence to that effect, since the majority of voters chose her.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Women who run for office win at similar rates as men. That doesn’t sound like a sexist electorate to me.
While I agree with using government policy to allow flexible work schedules and more work-from-home, it’s not going to do jack-squat to help with traffic congestion. It’s not that hard to understand once you know why: The insane level of congestion on the M50 suppresses demand for travel on it; anybody who doesn’t need to be on the highway at that time either stays home, or goes at a different time. That means that there are many car trips that aren’t happening under current conditions.
The latent demand means that If flexible scheduling or WFH does free up room on the M50, it becomes attractive to drive on it again for those people who previously stayed away due to congestion. And they will, as long as driving on the M50 provides them some marginal benefit. It won’t be until the congestion reaches a level that caused them to stay off the motorway in the first place that they’ll stay off the motorway again.
So, uh, crazy suggestion, I know, but unless the cars themselves have some business in Dublin, maybe provide a fast, convenient way for people to get in and out of the city? It’d be way more efficient, because gosh do cars take up a lot of space.
There’s no shortage of unlikable cunts in the GQP. I have this pet theory that he was chosen specifically because of his fake name. Short, punchy, strong: Vance. Just like Pence.
Seriously, the fascists are all about projecting an image of strength and power.
Turns out that the movie Don’t Look Up may have been intended to satirize our response to climate change, but the portrayal of the media response is evergreen.
I don’t think that those people waiting in line to go swimming wanted to be grabbed.
Look up “Humbert College LRT Station” on Google Maps, and you can see it for yourself. Unfortunately, the Street View imagery is out-of-date, and shows the station under construction, but the aerial view shows that this door opens onto literally just a 4- or 7-lane highway/stroad a few meters away. No bus stops, and no passenger loading zones. There’s at least a sidewalk.
Where did I imply it’s bad?
Shouldn’t official government websites be only concerned about the people actually employed at them and decision makers?
FWIW, voters in Minnesota do not register a party affiliation. (It varies by state.)
