Unfortunately we've literally built ourselves into a corner.

Aerial picture of a Walmart in the midst of suburban/exurban sprawl. It has a massive parking lot beside an arterial road, but the surrounding housing is spread out and the subdivision roads are winding and extremely inefficient for any kind of bus to navigate, with no natural place to put a stop as a catchment area for a large number of residents due to the consistent, low density.

Back somersault. Pry off the alligator's jaw. Use it as a boomerang to take out the snake. When he falls out the tree the lion will go straight for the easier meal.

Screenshot of a scene from Venture Bros, transcript:

Dean: No worries Brock. I'll walk you through the written portion. Question one. You're in Prague. A sniper's in the window above you. There's an alligator behind you and a grizzly bear in front of you. What do you do? Do you-
Brock: Back somersault. Pry off the alligator's jaw. Use it as a boomerang to take out the sniper. When he falls out the window the grizzly will go straight for the easier meal.

Some users have alleged that the man in the footage attempted to launch an attack upon the officers, aiming to set them on fire by pouring a line of gasoline in front of them, which is why law enforcement reacted so harshly to him. However, there is no evidence proving that this was the case.

What about the lesson that right wing reactionaries have and will always criticize protests as violent literally no matter what?

The way Bluesky truncates threads can lead to some strange results

Dr Seuss political cartoon from World War 2 showing Nazi Germany as a bird having pecked down trees with the names of various European countries, and currently pecking through the trunk of "England", with a complacent/smug bird in an Uncle Sam hat sitting on an undisturbed tree saying, "Ho hum! When he's finished pecking down that last tree he'll quite likely be tired."

Screenshot of a quote: " First Thoughts are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. Second Thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. Third Thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. Listening to them is part of witchcraft.

Excerpt from the linked article: "Someone with a one-hour commute in a car needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, researchers found that if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love"

This is why the existence of billionaires is inherently corrosive to democracy. Anand Giridharadas goes into this a lot, how billionaires hijacking efforts to improve the public good are always self-serving.
