there's a bus stop in indy that drivers kept demolishing that a certain agency in charge of works for the public wouldn't put a bollard in front of because they unironically were worried that a driver would die if they hit the bollard going that fast

But when I showed up to the store on Park Rd, I had to wait for 40 minutes for them to wheel my groceries out of the parking deck. They didn't know how to handle me, a customer who simply walked up to their store. 2/3

When I’m teaching, I remove simply from my vocabulary. I don’t want the students to think “well I don’t get it so it must be me”

A well staffed city bureaucracy that directly performs tasks, developing institutional experience to become more effective, is good.
Dozens of govt funded non-profits doing the same tasks not-continually is inefficient and causes ineffective public service administration.

Taking away billionaires' money is not just good for the world, it's also good for billionaires. No one should have that much money. These people are not well.

If your city’s traffic engineers say they won’t put protective barriers by the bike lane “because cars will run into it,” what they’re not saying is they are totally fine if you end up under the car instead.

Don't miss the forest for the trees. These workers make about $20 an hour for a CEO that makes $7,000 an hour, building machines that sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, for a company that's profiting close to $6 billion *this year*. Deere can afford it, & workers need it.

When @viegasf and I designed our wind map, we scaled the brightness by the top windspeed in the data. We also only plot wind over land.
So when a hurricane is heading to landfall, the map goes ominously, unreadably dark. Technical bug, emotional feature. hint.fm/wind
