Let me rewrite this: “In a statement, TRANSPORTATION officials said the agency had complied with federal laws and accused CONSERVATIVES of backing the effort to compel environmental reviews to slow down A TRANSIT AGENCY FROM MAKING TRANSIT BETTER.”

Another screenshot: “In a statement, homeland security officials said the agency had complied with federal laws and accused liberals of backing the effort to compel environmental reviews to slow down the Trump administration's deportation campaign.”

Hey federal government, can we apply this same logic to when we want to build a shelter at an existing station?? No????

Screenshot from the New York Times article: “In the Maryland case, the federal government argued that the project was exempt from a review under the National Environmental Policy Act because it was, among other things, not close to any environmentally sensitive zones and was in an area that had already been built on. In filings in New Jersey and Michigan, the government indicated it would complete the environmental assessments after developing more specific retrofit plans.”

Oh my god, did they not know about NEPA??? As someone who works at a transit agency, all I can say is LOL

Screenshot from the New York Times: “ICE Warehouse Plan Faces Delay Over Lack of Environmental Reviews

Officials have argued in court filings that the projects are exempt from federally required assessments, but are scrambling after a judge disagreed.”

This is such a good recipe

Sheet pan bibimbap recipe. 5 stars with 7.8k ratings.

INGREDIENTS
Yield: 4 servings
6 ounces oyster mushrooms, torn into bite-size pieces
1 medium sweet potato (about 6 ounces), scrubbed and thinly sliced into half-moons
1 small red onion (about 6 ounces), thinly sliced crosswise into half-moons
3 packed cups coarsely chopped Tuscan or curly kale (from 1 small bunch)
6 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked medium-grain white rice, preferably cold leftovers
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more to taste, for serving
4 teaspoons gochujang, plus more to taste, for serving
Kimchi for serving (ontional)

Step 1
Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees.
Step 2
On a large sheet pan, arrange the mushrooms, sweet potato, red onion and kale into four separate quadrants. Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat, keeping the types of vegetables separate. Try to not crowd the vegetables; you want them to brown, not steam. Roast on the top rack until the sweet potato is fork-tender, the onion and mushrooms are slightly caramelized and the kale is crispy but not burnt, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3
Meanwhile, place another large sheet pan on the bottom rack to heat. When the vegetables are almost done cooking, in the last 5 minutes or so, remove the heated pan from the oven and evenly drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil on it. Spread the rice over half of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other half and carefully transfer to the oven.
Bake until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, 3 to 6 minutes (this time may vary depending on your oven, so watch it carefully).
Step 4
To serve, divide the rice evenly among four bowls. Now divide the vegetables evenly as well, placing them in four neat piles over each portion of rice. Use a spatula to slide the eggs over the vegetables. Drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and dollop with 1 teaspoon of gochujang, adding more if desired. Mix everything together with a spoon or chopsticks before diving in, and serve kimchi alongside, if you prefer.

I don’t think I’ve ever upvoted a comment faster

Ask Reddit thread with the question “What is a ‘luxury’ that you’ve experienced once and now can’t go back to the budget version of?” and then the answer “After visiting Japan I’m finding our American toilet situation a little fucked up.”

Here’s my version. Some of these are based on cursory visits. I’d rather die than live in Texas or Florida, these places have awful weather and are highway-consumed urban hellscapes
