@TheWarOnCars I lived on a precinct block. Ours wasn't as egregious as some they discuss in the article, but it's still pretty ridiculous the extent to which the police department that exemplified broken windows policing has so little respect for following the law itself.

Hello, @nytimes @washingtonpost: When there's a mass shooting, you don't have to quote Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Paul Rand saying that they're praying for the victims. Those quotes add nothing at all to the news

You can simply note that Republican lawmakers offered no new comments or actions in response to [whatever number] mass shooting in the US this year

@caseynewton It continues to amaze me that so many are clinging to a Twitter, as though it's going to get better. 1) it's not. 2) even if it did, the primary beneficiary would be a reactionary gremlin who is already the wealthiest man in the world.

Donald Trump's criminality unleashed a bitter new phase of American politics.

The Global Entry program is a disaster. The length of time and lack of availability of interviews is absurd.

@futurebird @funkula the folksy ignorance of some of these people is part of their appeal to their constituencies

@caseynewton the post seems maybe a bit technically in the weeds (I'm guessing it's a specific type of testing framework for smart contract devs), but I don't know about insane

In all the writing on the mental health crisis, one thing I don't see well represented are the voices of actual teenagers. How do they describe what they're experiencing and what bugs them?

After 4 kids, I've come to believe that kids want to sleep at night, through the whole night. They don't hate their parents and want to wake us up. Our job is to try to understand what's standing in the way of a good night's sleep.

That's the right mindset, but unfortunately, there's no easy way to figure out the answer.
