I put the ill in Rockville

I live in Rockville, MD, ride bikes, play guitar and bass, and sometimes rant and rave.

at our civic association meeting last night, it became nimbys vs yimbys.

we were discussing a survey sent to the group regarding land use in our neighborhood. being that one can only build sfh in this neighborhood that is so close to transit, the survey is asking if people agree that more density is appropriate in advance of a zoning code rewrite.

one woman told a bunch of stories that were likely bullshit about people selling their houses out of fear of redevelopment. (1/2)

fuckerberg is so 'concerned about climate change' that he bought a giant yacht which also has a wing boat.

i suppose he's following the mass of the human population who largely don't give a shit either.

We line up and make a lot of noise about big environmental problems like incinerators, waste dumps, acid rain, global warming and pollution. But we don't understand that when we add up all the tiny environmental problems each of us creates, we end up with those big environmental dilemmas. Humans are content to blame someone else, like the government or corporations, for the messes we create, and yet we each continue doing the same things, day in and day out, that have created the problems.

Sure, corporations create pollution. If they do, don't buy their products. If you have to buy their products (gasoline for example), keep it to a minimum. Sure, municipal waste incinerators pollute the air.

Stop throwing trash away. Minimize your production of waste. Recycle. Buy food in bulk and avoid packaging waste. Simplify. Turn off your TV. Grow your own food. Make compost. Plant a garden. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If you don't, who will?”

@compost i do find that people are supposedly concerned about environmental issues yet do nothing to fix them. even worse, they resist the changes attempting to move in that direction, e.g. see any battle for bike lanes or increased residential density.

i am one of two people at my office who rides their bike to work. everyone else is in their cars. one scientist drives 2 miles to the office every single work day.

Scene: a wasteland of fascist car supremacy, stroads, millions dead per year, many more maimed, most of the rest coerced into working for their car and sitting in traffic awaiting extinction
Bike Advocate: "we should consider policy that prioritizes bikes, somewhat"
People: "not everyone can ride a bike."

at the local civic association meeting, the resident boomer asshole decided to go on a rant expressing displeasure at people walking in the road and suggesting tapping them with his car to get them out of his way.

if that fucker tries that shit with me, i’ll drag the old bastard out of his car and give him a lesson in violence.

i had leadership of the association bring those comments up in an email to him.

my plan is to walk by his house in the middle of the road every fucking time. (1/2)

It’s so sad seeing all of that lovely snow melt. I’m not looking forward to fucking 65F on a Friday in January.

I also don’t want to hear any complaints about the cold from the car brained masses. All you fuckers do is get in and out of your cars. It’ll be plenty fucking hot soon enough and all you fuckers will do is get in and out of your stupid cars.

I see that the media is behaving just like it did in 2016, using their educations and licking boots like they were taught. Framing Trump’s embrace of fossil fuels with the both sides bullshit is some next level ass kissing. Describing the position of the worlds’ scientists as ‘environmentalists say’ is such trash.

Soviet commissars would be impressed at the discipline of western media.

The war on terror in Africa has failed. The effort has only made terrorism worse, just as those of us who were against this bullshit 20 years ago said it would.

The educated bootlicking class will ignore these facts, naturally. That’s what school is for.
