If you are an architect, developer, or contractor who works on high-rise buildings in the US and has some very vague familiarity with the costs and complexity of high-rise systems (fire command centers, stair pressurization, generators, etc.), could you email me? stephen@centerforbuilding.org

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Quite frankly given the stats in my cohort, anyone over 30 who’s having unexplained GI symptoms needs to go immediately

And that’s deliberately not mentioning Los Banos, Chico, Madera, Vacaville, and Manteca. (And Las Pulgas, out over in rich people land on the peninsula.)

THIS. They’re in the South Metro now, hitting Carver County & Minneapolis suburbs HARD.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

There were 89,000 polling places in 2022.
