Super fascinating. I wonder if tik tok has trained perception- it has to be a personal perspective to track as “authentic”
He’s not invisible though, but he does have secrets to conceal.
No Means No
The ends don’t justify this Means
This mighty Casey must strike out
I’m here for her and she’s far and away my first choice!
I’m all in for AOC for president.
That’s built into the bill and the theory more broadly. More to say about this than could be tapped out here!
Those lots are basically not taxed at all. A minimal holding tax on building value. Rich LLCs who don’t care about our city of communities drain possibilities from NYC by taking loans on valuable land.
State Senator Cordell Cleare has a bill that would allow NYC to create fifth class (Class 5) for property tax that would tax vacant and abandoned property near to the full value of land. There is a lot of it in our city. That capital can never leave.
Piece is back up with great explanatory note now

@matthewremski.bsky.social the original post was taken down by the author due to harassment but someone dear to me still had the tab open and she saved the text and references if you want them.

Was coming to see if this was about the latest terrible poem by Amanda Gorman. But it wasn’t and yet I’m still in the camp of these posts.
I heard he’s going to fight hairline fractures of the ulna with carp filets.
So let’s get together, I mean it’s time.
Oh lord! I’m so thrilled to know this for you. Meet you at the Think Book to exchange feelings about this.
Where are you standing on impeachment for not just Trump but for all the criminals? Cleaning house is a must.
I think you mean one ballroom
Prop 13 in CA is a problem for this. But more broadly shifting property taxes away from buildings and onto taxes on land values would do so much to this end
Cast it out of lead
It’s not Passover season
So have a little bread

I’m too lucky to be able to teach another set of rounds of my online course “Committed To Heart, Committed To Memory” in January. If this dusty but joyous & life affirming skill sounds interesting…come through. stillmansays.substack.com/p/next-round...
@whatashrinkthinks.com still intrigued?
No better way to start than to tax the land values of vacant and abandoned plots in the city with a 5th class then start up taxing land values as well
It’s such a brilliant cover though shoutouts to Ella Fitzgeralds 1956 version, Julie Londons slinky cover from 61 and Bobby Blands 1962 pre-funk funk
Any wondering about how to proceed with post-literacy, I think, should seriously engage with McLuhan
Marshall McLuhan was talking about the effects of “post-literate society” as happening in the early 60s. Reading what he wrote then feels like now.
Barry Lord in his great book “The Art of Energy” makes a compelling case that each civilization/society has a primary energy source & that source fundamentally shapes the culture’s ethical/moral/relational understanding. He tracks wind &yolked animals, human slaves, coal, gas. Worth contending with!
Just bought the book based on this write up alone!
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful king
Whose wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command is ‘bout what I’m here to sing
Now Ozy was a kinda big works guy
The mighty looked round and despaired
If not for shattered visage we couldn’t stop and stare
…
Here on Ozys Isle!
