the other thing is that people have no sense of how much space cars and so they imagine that a road full of cars must be a lot of people when it very often is not. a well-used bike lane transports like twice as many people during a given time as does a road

Aside: During the height of the pandemic I thought it was quite symbolic of a century of mostly centre-right governance and our embrace of capitalist hyperindividualism to see fleets of HEPA-filtered SUVs dropping children to chronically underfunded and under resourced schools.

Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.

Pretty much every move I’ve ever made in comics since age 25 has been inspired by the 70-year-olds I saw in comic con Artist Alleys, cranking out sketches of characters they created but don’t own, to pay their doctor bills and nursing home fees.

Gonna keep saying this & will die on this hill: Bad news without any guidance on what to do about it [at least some ideas] demobilizes and often encourages inaction. We on the Left(s) have to avoid cynicism which is deeply corrosive and also counterrevolutionary.

I’m thinking more and more lately about an old radio play I heard on the sci-fi show “X minus 1” about an Earth where immortality was commonplace, and the old ruled as an intractable oligarchy, and the young were eventually forced to just genocide them with a terrorism campaign.

After all those “lesser of two evils” and “have fun in the camps!” replies I’ve been getting for months for sharing news updates and criticizing an UNPOPULAR US-funded genocide, it’s quite something to see many of those same people begging Biden to drop out. Welcome to the party, I guess.

Caging refugee families, caging unhoused people who couldn’t make skyrocketing rent, caging millions of human beings for illegitimate reasons—carcerality and mass death are the ruling class’ plan for the coming decades of climate catastrophe and economic ruin. We don’t have long.

If this sounds far-fetched today, it's only because the Democrats have passed on literally every opportunity to pound the drum on this point, so there's no momentum or mainstream public support (which Democrats then use as an excuse not to pound the drum on the point, because "nobody cares")

This will create utter chaos in the courts, as no one knows what the rules are now. There are more than 100 federal court decisions based on the 1984 Chevron v NRDC precedent SCOTUS just overturned. It's the most cited case in the whole field of administrative law.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

A lot of people who don’t want to mask associate masks with the fear we all felt at the start of the pandemic. I get that! But you need to adjust your mindset to the reality: you should feel SAFER when wearing a mask—because YOU ARE. I’m much less fearful of Covid when I’m protecting myself!
