Anniversary blog post from May 28, 2010: We do not make just one mode choice. We make mode choices repeatedly, of at least three kinds: Single Trips, Habits and Investments. We're not going to get people out of cars by addressing only one kind of choice.

FYI in case you were wondering what Trump would do about Gaza protests if put back in power.

Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators

The least we can do for the people in Gaza is stop voting for politicians who are complicit in their extermination

What are your thoughts on self-diagnosis being belittled by many in the autistic community?

For clarity, I’m not asking to start a debate, just a genuine discussion. I currently don’t have the option to get a diagnosis, but feel fairly confident that the research I’ve done over the past year and a half has been legitimate and credible.

I don’t feel comfortable saying that I am definitively autistic, but I am ok with saying I’m “self-suspecting.” #actuallyautistic @actuallyautistic

So my girlfriend’s ex-husband sends over the kids per usual even though one of them is clearly sick. Instead of keeping the one that is sick over there until they are on the mend, which has been the protocol since they split & even more so once the pandemic hit. I need to ask my fellow guys out there with split custody to stop pulling this type of shit because it’s monumentally selfish and stupid. Also stop sending your sick kids into school.

I started a new Youtube channel a few months back to kind of help me come to terms with my late autism diagnosis, and I seem to be doing better on views than my (8 years old) Clay Disarray channel :ablobdizzy:

Anyhoo, thought I'd post a link here if you're interested 🧡

I do believe people oft confuse the Covid lockdowns for “pandemic”. What folks should be saying is post-lockdown, or “after lockdown”. This pandemic is ongoing, though lockdowns have largely been (foolishly) been ruled out.

I’ve had it with people Biden bashing on here. This election is not a game. Yes Biden has many issues and many problems with policies and such. If Trump gets elected, everything you’ve strived for is over. It’s that simple.

Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

“Rep. Matt #Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald #Trump’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”

Via Democracy Docket:

BREAKING: #Arkansas Supreme Court reinstates four voter suppression laws ahead of the 2024 elections, reversing a lower court's ruling that the laws violated the state constitution.

The laws ban passing out food and water to voters waiting in line at the polls, establish signature matching rules, shorten the absentee ballot return period and implement strict photo ID procedures for voting. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/arkansas-supreme-court-reinstates-four-voter-suppression-laws/

“It’s absurd for ODOT to claim that their proposed $1.9 billion 10-lane highway is in compliance with the city’s existing plans for #climateAction, sustainable #transportation investment or neighborhood development. We filed this lawsuit because state law requires ODOT to follow the city’s #cleanAir and climate goals. ODOT shouldn’t be allowed to advance a project that brazenly violates the city’s adopted plans.” -- #NoMoreFreeways #ODOTGTFOpdx #Portland

My morning radio feed has a new fill-in traffic reporter with that current language trend of not pronouncing terminating Ts and it's distracting. I wonder where it came from and why it's so rampant recently?

"There's an acciden aa the stree where ih crosses the river in the wess end."

Funny how speech trends come and go, and sometimes stay. I suspect Tiktok is amplifying it. Modern accents are becoming disconnected from geography and more about subculture/demographics.

Blaming screen time for the mental health of kids and teens when the world around them is growing crueler & falling apart is one of the biggest copouts I’ve witnessed thus far in my life.

Apple's says its environmentally friendly, and at the same time destroys perfectly usable devices to raise demand for new ones. And sues a company that sold those usable devices instead of shredding them. Good job Apple. https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/18/100000-iphones-stolen-instead-of-scrapped/

Is there any #sociologist around who can have a look at the account that passes around massive amounts of 'short primers' on 'easy sociology' to the @academicchatter group? Is it just AI-generated garbage or is it actually something useful?

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

I desperately need a piece of software to scan my windows 10 computer to see if the system or anything else is actually wrong. This computer is unbearably slow all of the sudden, with no obvious reason. Preferably something that is free because I am poor. #windows10 #TechSupport #computer #computers
