Love to kick start my 10x cost rail project to the least dense part of town by expanding a parking lot. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Imagine if lovecraft had known of the eigenslur as a concept

”it’s just online crazies” is not comforting anymore if I have to consciously avoid certain irl social events because ive been burned enough hearing supposedly online-only assertions at them

Where’s the labeller for people who can’t read

just because journalism has similar hierarchies and incentive structures as academia, my best guess is that it’s a deeply misogynistic culture that doesn’t reward moral courage

This explains a large part of left-coded housing discourse

Please don’t invade Mexico I was planning to go there for my HRT if they made it illegal here

I also keep saying this line of thinking, that the party in the minority does and should have the power to trample the majority and get whatever they want, has, uh, some bad implications for when we get the majority.

Mr Bennett is irresponsible but he is 100% better at respecting Lizzie and Jane’s personhood than Mrs. Bennett. You just can’t rehabilitate Mrs. Bennett (and don’t need to, to point out that he did very bad with financial planning for his 5 daughters)

reminder that the weird indie web still exists imani-woah.github.io/thelocation/...

being on the west coast when the shit went down was really funny bc so many accounts started to scream “where are the dems” at like 00:30-01:30am PST on a Friday night. EST is three hours ahead. 04:00am. Even under most optimistic circumstances nothing is happening until at least 08:00am

Every single person on here saying that there’s no diff between the parties on foreign policy is proving once again that there was no political benefit to withdrawing from Afghanistan despite what the anti-war people claim to want

Damn I guess I’m old too

In practice, Hitler had left himself three options: 1) Hold pat on his gains and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR. 2) Go all-in on U-Boats to push Britain out of the war, end up buried under a tide of American steel. 3) Go all-in against USSR, end up buried in a tide of Russians.

last time social media was this bad was directly post-Oct 7 I remember when people were getting scolded for posting pictures of ordinary life then. I've seen my first scolding on here already---someone berating americans for watching sports

I know some tech reporters follow me; seriously what’s the deal here? Someone please explain

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told that all the prediction markets had rules against insider trading last April as part of a large conversation about turning the economy into gambling. This is all zeroed out by today’s insider trading on Venezuela strikes, I think www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...

chotiner should do another mearsheimer interview

sometimes I mute rather than block because someone else is toying with the idiot replier like a cat with its prey, and I think it's more helpful if everyone sees how stupid the idiot is. they won't get the full context if I break the thread by blocking.

among the crap passing through my timeline now: reviving racist latin american memes, but leftishly

I love aldi

trying to focus on the positive. Pittsburgh’s new zoning administrator is actually qualified. Let’s get some housing built www.detailsreviewed.com/about

Good morning from Olaf in his new apartment

Blocking a lot of people this morning

You’d think the Pentagon would learn to order from their own cafeteria by now.🙄

What’s hilarious is the number of replies who dont get the joke Reads like a facebook comment section

degenerate gamblers are a nest of vipers. polymarket delenda est kalshi delenda est truth predict delenda est destroy each and every one of them

This is no time for cynicism. I believe the people of Venezuela will greet the US as liberators

Can we press the reset button on 2026

2026 has been a long year.

2 stairs for just 3 units.

Who wants to purchase the top-floor unit in the Keck-Gottschalk-Keck Building (1937) for me? One of the earliest International Style designs built in Chicago, it served as residences for architects Keck & Keck and University of Chicago professor Louis Gottschalk. www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago/5...

Academia is also mostly office work except with more sexual harassment, more bullying, almost no permanent jobs, and lower pay

If mamdani is doing it, will left NIMBYs stop yelling that permitting reform is a trojan horse for [insert bogeyma] ?

keeping this around for the next time i'm asked what Bluesky is

It would objectively save a LARGE number of lives. More than 12,000 residents of the US die each year from falls on stairs. More elevators would significantly reduce those numbers.

You can see some of these stereotypes - the simple, morally pure countryside vs. the morally compromised, inauthentic city - play out in Greek and Roman literature. So this is a very old idea that recurs regularly.

Happy no need to downgrade my pasta choices new year

“Starter home” has got to be one of the more infuriating terms in housing discourse . Like that’s not a starter home it costs one point three million dollars

The High Cost of Free Parking

god this is such a bad premise. these ads are grating and silly but they make sense to anyone who knows what the actual products are or has a need that the ad is speaking to. e.g. Brex is for corporate expense management (I've used it!), Semgrep is for vulnerability reporting, etc...
