Likely unpopular opinion but I think AT getting rid of free street parking in the CBD is a good call.

Free parking encourages car dependency, wastes precious urban space and discourages alternative modes of transportation.

Here's Donald Shoup, author of "The High Cost of Free Parking", the expert on parking economics why too much of it ruins our cities:

Hypothetically, if one had applied for a cool job and been rejected, and a similar (although not quite the same) position was advertised again in the same company... applying a second time for it would be wise or foolish?

"The fake part of Tesla has become more real than the real part of Tesla."

Interesting discussion about the hype behind the stock and the lack of substance in , like anything Musk, has become about image and hype much more than actual innovation or product.

It's all smoke and mirrors with the billionaire class.

I can tell another wave is getting started because another workmate is off with covid.

Still, am the lone masker in the team.

workmates talking about buying lotto because apparently today's odds are better than usual while refusing to mask when airborne sickness is already making us short-staffed really says something about humans and our limits in understanding risk and probability.

@dave 💯
The workmate who is currnetly infected and off is on his third covid ride. His partner is a cancer survivor.
One would think that would warrant some precaution, but he "won't live in fear".

I've tried, but can only do so much.

@jeremy_pm @dave i mean yes... but also vaccines are increasingly ineffective to mutated strains. Kids under 5 are not allowed any. And the ones approved here in NZ are for XBB, a strain not detected in a few months now. We don't have access to a more effective updated novavax and keep acting ignorant when it comes to clean air and masks.
It's a strategy doomed to fail.

Seymour is announcing cuts to the school lunch program today.
They are expected to be mainly a change from hot, healthy, and cooked meals, to prepackaged food.
To cut costs.

May his food always be spat on, anywhere he goes.

Feeding people, and particularly kids, is not a cost.

It's a long term investment, and a very productive one at that.

My timeline is currently a mix of the , the unfolding escalation of genocide in , images of floodings and worsening climate catastrophe, news of the incoming crisis and the current public health crisis, and the fascist police state cracking down on principled students in the imperial core.

So yeah.
Pretty dystopian.
We have now achieved Hunger Games levels of reality.

Excellent doomscrolling whiplash though.

Israel is committing one of the worst atrocities in modern history.

The attack on Rafah is unlawful and monstrous.
The "evacuation plan" is a bad joke. There are no services or safety in an already overcrowded area.
Even if moving somewhere else was a possibility, there has not been enough time for hundreds of thousands of hungry, sick and scared people, mostly children, to move.

All eyes on Rafah.

  • Why are you wearing a mask?
  • Because I don't want to be sick, or make anyone else sick.
  • Oh I've been sick so much recently!
  • I know, I haven't been sick in about 5 years...
  • ... wow that's incredible!
  • Would you like a mask? I have lots to spare.

No one tells you that a surprisingly large part of being a dad to a preschooler is repeatedly trying to super glue back together all kinds of different toys and materials.

And mostly failing to do so.

I love my American friends, but they need to see that the problem is not who the president is.
Or which party rules.
That's a false choice.

The problem, as it's increasingly evident, is the US hegemony as a whole.
Putin, Netanyahu, Modi, Xi, they all suck.
The world is full of terrible fascist leaders but none is more dangerous than America itself, whoever leads it.

I'm sorry because it will obviously be hardest on common people, and that's deeply unfair.
But all empires must fall.

Student protestors have historically been proven right about every single war they protested.

Column writers at Reputable Newspapers, Think Tankers and Hawkish political operators have, conversely, been proven wrong every single time they've supported imperial war.

Stand with the students.
Stand with Palestinians.
Stop the genocidal war machine.

Free Palestine. 🇵🇸🍉

They killed the poet.
Then they killed his daughter.
And her husband.
And their newborn baby.

Israel is a terrorist state.
