It's even worse for some neurodivergent folks. 7 AM standard time is still an hour too early, so DST is months of absolute torture. 🫩

Science: You should vaccinate your kids.
Vaccine deniers: Vaccines cause autism!
Science: Climate change is real.
Climate deniers: It's a hoax! More oil!
Science: Standard time is best for human health.
Circadian deniers: Kids should walk to school in the dark for my convenience!

Sleep doctors’ orders: Use standard time 365 days a year It’s time again for clocks to β€œspring forward” to daylight saving time. Learn why physicians are saying that tradition should stop.

Perhaps we should simply take the advice of medical professionals? www.ama-assn.org/public-healt...

The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.

Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries.

If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes.

It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn.

Sounds like a problem that disgusting amounts of cheap electricity could solve.

From a NYTimes interview with Zohran Mamdani in June 2025:

What’s one issue in politics that you’ve changed your mind about?
The role of the private market in housing construction.

How so?
I clearly recognize now that there is a very important role to be played, and one that city government must facilitate through the increasing of density around mass transit hubs, the ending of the requirement to build parking lots, as well as the need to up-zone neighborhoods that have historically not contributed to affordable housing production β€” namely, wealthier neighborhoods.

I think all these things, in tandem with a muscular role for the public sector. But that is a changing opinion over time that I’ve been in office.

Grandstanding against him while voting to confirm his nominees isn't helpful, Elissa. Put your money where your mouth is and vote correctly.

The Legendary Mrs. Fordℒ️ was reading me a list of completely unhinged-ignorant things people have said, and I added an example from my own past:

I went to a high school of gifted math and science kids. We lived there, so the cafeteria usually flowed like a university: you could always get more.
