Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.

the purestrain corporate non-apology that is āwe should have communicated our vision effectivelyā when your entire community is telling you in no uncertain terms to give up on that vision because itās a terrible idea nobody wants
āitās a failure in our messaging that we didnāt tell you about the thing youād hate in advance. if we were any good we wouldāve gotten out ahead of it (and made you think itās something else)ā
and the thing is, thatās probably exactly the lesson theyāre going to be learning from this :|
How do we ensure that traffic safety is not a privilege of the few but a fundamental right available to everyone? A big part of the answer is drunk driving.
