To which, I’m sure, they’ll reply “that will never happen you naive idealist”.

Already seeing people on Twitter shifting from “banning legacy admissions will never happen you naive idealist” to “well it happened but it will backfire and they’ll find loopholes” and like, yes, and there’s no predicting which loopholes, so you wait and see what they do and ban that next time.

California just banned it. Why hasn’t NY?

There’s many ways to be eccentric about gender, all pretty much harmless, and we need to be able to talk about the differences between them, but we also need make a sincere effort to be thoughtful and not mean about it. And Julia Serano is pretty good at that so read her things.

Can we please have a governor who does not want to run for president and doesn’t care what people think of him in Nebraska?

Yeah, I can see that. If you’re going to make comparisons, consistency matters. And while other trips matter too, commute trips are kinda special because they’re so concentrated in time and space.

They definitely need to actually develop the big cities rather than just developing suburbs with bike lanes and train stations. Not that those are bad, but going by prices and housing wait lists, clearly people want to live on Amsterdam, so friggin let them live there, ya know.

so if somebody drives to the office that’s one trip, but if somebody bikes to a station to take a train to the office that‘s two trips? or do you mean something else by chaining?
