Great listen that challenges many of the common understandings of idyllic, stable post-war suburbia. Chipping away at the mystique of 20th century American development is vital to finding solutions to housing/land use challenges we face today. @m-r-glass.bsky.social @dygottlieb.bsky.social

Epstein really did embody the outer-borough-Jewish-striver yuppie subtype. Just with the knobs for "financial fraud" and "immoral predation" cranked all the way to 11.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.
