It definitely took a lot of innovation to get electric cars to where they are right now, and Tesla deserve much of the credit for that. My question is, how do we get that level of talent and innovation into urban planning, public transport, etc? How do we make buses and trains more attractive and popular, so that…

I wouldn’t dare use a stump grinder on my own, but I did bring out the lawn chair and a cold beer as I watched the guy I hired to come out and do it. Very satisfying indeed!

It’s super frustrating. The whole premise of this article is that we’re full of contradictions. We can be critical of things we like, or even be free to like shit that we know is bad. We all do it. But there’s always somebody who has to draw a line in the sand, justifying the “bad” thing that they like as “good…

I like the writeup, and I’m seeing the arguments I expected to see in the comments as well as some other comments that aren’t arguments (sure, they’re there.)

Welcome dude! Great seeing a black writer here! Black student studying EECS for automotive eng in college and have been on here for quite a while so when you talk about reading a bunch of articles and magazines when you were younger and planning your own car company, that’s basically me right now and a few years…

My parents grew up during the Great Depression. Their descriptions of their parents and their childhoods and the lasting effect it had on them sounds very much akin to yours, Joan.

I have a 1 y/o and a 4.5 y/o who is heading to kindergarten in August. I'm ridiculously excited to only be paying $14k in childcare over the next year, instead of $27k.

Your mom sounds like a hero. This hits so close to home. My husband and I have two kids (2.5 and 3 months) and this year daycare will cost us $29,000. We don’t live in a high income area, and these are the average prices. This is just what it costs. We are both currently working 2 jobs to pay for it while we both look…

This sounds interesting! Men and masculinity has always been one of the most fraught relationships on earth, and throwing in fame makes for an explosion

Old here. Rosie in White Men Can’t Jump is everything. Her character is the best use of Jeopardy in pop culture ever. 

Someone yesterday suggested going to local college or university’s soccer matches.  If it’s feasible, that could be an option.

Totally not surprised a bunch of gentrifying punks don’t really give a shit about much of anything. The Second Ward is east of downtown and has historically been a Black and Latino working class neighborhood, but that’s been changing over the years thanks to gentrification. The Third and Fifth Wards would have been…

Lol...yes, chalk it up to not enough coffee. Thanks for the correction. Bamalamb!

Hearing this this morning has made me happy. I will now put “Vivid,” “Time’s Up,” and “Stain” on shuffle.

Vernon Reid is a beast. And while I still revisit this band from time to time, including some of their more recent work, Reid’s been involved in some other great projects, too. Check out Mohimbe Brothers and his solo work with Masque.

God... this album. So many gems...

Fuck yesssss...

YAAAAAAAAS

That’s a perfectly reasonable opinion/stance to take.
