Its so funny how its extremely clear that rich people can just pay off doctors to get diagnosed with whatever (or just even afford to go to the doctor more and get these diagnoses) and the Atlantic was like, "Holy shit we've gone too WOKE!"

What a fuckin rag

I feel as though it is my duty:

The best steel-man I can manage is that people wish others knew the greatness of their favorite band/song and seek community and validation in their opinions.

Mostly I think its just a popularity contest

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

How to Win Red States With a Labor Party We can take political power without asking Democrats for it.

what this makes me think is that unions should push for fusion voting wherever possible www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/how-to-win...

not now babe it's infishtructure week

THIS IS A GOOD HEADLINE.

yeah, you could say I study theory

Imagine anyone had listened.

My grand unified theory of suburbia is that camera doorbells are like SUVs, they provide an illusion of security while making you more paranoid

Working tomorrow should be a crime.

Chuck sure is one for nostalgia, and I think congress delegating some authority to admin state is good, given congress members are not air quality experts or hydrologists, but the overall article message is nice and reasonable.

Also they got out of the house late because they:
1: Don't want to go
2: Had to work a double and are exausted

Vital City | New Mexico: Surprising Proving Ground for Two Big Mamdani Ideas? What the mayor-elect can learn from the Southwest state

NEW MEXICO MENTIONED!

Also, budget as values document is a tried and tested axiom for a reason.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.

The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

So many people (read: Elected dems) are ready to argue against themselves and it doesn't make sense. Have an ideology and stand behind it! If you love neoliberalism, at least have the grit to tell people that. They may think you're wrong but at least you're principled!

Tweet from NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) that says, "U.S. THIRD QUARTER ADVANCED ESTIMATE GDP REPORT CANCELED."

Looking down from the precipice and all I feel is loathing.

We're the best state in the union for a reason (its the food and the social services)

Meanwhile we continue to double-down on removing the social part of getting around in favor of polluting multi-ton death machines

Always important to have data to back up the gut intuition that spending all of your time in secluded boxes (single-family homes, personal automobiles, cubes/office in the office, etc.) doesn't fully satiate your social needs and that we should get out and be in community more

Abstract for "The truly isolated: Spatial isolation of advantage in the United States" by Shannon Rieger, Angela Li, and Patrick Sharkey, published at Urban Studies

👉 Our new paper uses daily mobility data to show that spatial isolation is much more common today among those living in advantaged neighborhoods than the converse.

👩🏻‍💻 Lots of massive data wrangling and careful assumptions about mobility data needed - but check it out here! doi.org/10.1177/0042...

The sewer socialism of the modern day is a focus on robust public transit and multimodal transportation.

Budget as values document etc....

Amazing article tbh. Something I'd add is that its good to value human life and democracy, and thus its imperative we have the political will to put money into these things. They're expensive, yes, but cost is never insurmountable.

Gluttony is just behind Greed in American culture, it makes sense

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.
