I have ex, AFAB, who *might* want to have children one day and they're in a Ph. D. Program, and tbh their ability to be employed is gonna be factor in if they have children and what has Trump been doing to universities of late?

I’m sure people much smarter than me about this kind of stuff will tell my why I’m wrong, but it does seem that progressives need to knock it off with trying to come up with elaborate RCV strategies to win elections, and just run a single, good candidate.

I know that in the grand scheme of things there are far more important issues and pain this administration has caused, but as a scholar this is the kind of stuff that makes my blood boil. Someone trying to understand what happened a long time from now will still be furious about it too.

tbh I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with human society "stagnating" at human development indices of ~0.9+ -- insofar as everyone in the world, both in between countries and within them, can share in such living standards

In terms of improving daily human life probably not. I have said this every time it comes up but the historian of everyday life Ruth Goodman, who has lived like historical people of multiple periods, said she could get used to every task but laundry, which was just miserable.

I have the half-remebered sense that 'unintentional injury' (a top 4 cause of death for every age bracket to 64) here means car collisions. We must win The War On Cars.

Sun Yat-sen's "Three Principles of the People" cited on the stamp (nationalism, democracy, livelihood) are often said to be inspired by the ending passage in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and are also included in the Constitution of the Republic of China (Taiwan) --

something that I wish was interrogated further (aligned with
@sharonk.bsky.social
's notion of china and the US as bretheren nations) is the tension between the traditional venertion of agriculture and rurality in china, versus the (arguably historic inevitability) of industrial urbanisation

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?

Vancouver recently adopted a plan to create simplified apartment zones in parts of the city (broadway and cambie mostly). We've started looking at what might be possible with single-stair buildings. Here's an R3 zoned site comprised of two 33x100 lots. The zoning allows ~2.2FSR and six storeys.

When you’re riding public transit you realize that what’s good for everybody is also good for you. If the bus runs faster, if the train is cleaner, if the AC works, we all benefit when you’re driving a car, every other car on the road is your personal enemy

if mamdani was threatening to nationalize like every grocer in NYC, that would be a coherent argument against it. but this is basically just a grocery crown corp that has a lower markup on goods

For those trying to figure out where to invest, the answer is reviving and sustaining community-based groups. Even more than that, we need more training to help people sustain them. So many people burn themselves out taking over groups, and eventually the flame burns out.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor
