It took until my very last day here, but as of this morning I have run every single street of the nation's capital. All 1,838 of them

Stephen A going on dumb guy political debate shows is like the menswear guy joining twitter; he cut his teeth in a medium so belligerent & so vacuous hannity has no frame of reference for it

Stephen A. Smith to Hannity: "I know you're not talking about someone being lucid and cogent and enunciating their thoughts with clarity and you're bragging about Donald Trump. We can't be watching the same stuff if that's what you're doing!"

I just wanna live somewhere I can get a cute little apartment and be able to walk to a grocery store, park, church, and rapid transit station. 100 years ago that was standard in every American city. Today, it’s a luxury experience that costs $2000+/mo

The biggest irony in transportation policy in this country is most cities requiring that bars provide enough parking for all their patrons to drive

Kinda agree with this. If jobs for college educated 20 somethings actually start to dry up there's gonna be a huge upswell of resentment against the 'you will work in a factory and be happy about it' politics that the right is leaning into with tariffs right now

Are you young (20s-30s), relatively unattached, decent income? The #1 thing you can do for the climate is move to a walkable neighborhood and drive less

Cars are too big. Their headlights are too bright. The screens in them are too distracting. All are new problems in the last ~15 years or so, but regulators don't seem particularly interested in solving any of them
