America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.

It’s perfect.

With a hat tip to @mtsw.bsky.social for his posts about messaging and editing, I made this (very rough) example of what such an ad might look like.

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Good read. OG shots seem like an indicator of a NYK playing a good all around game: 5-7 3s off good offensive ball movement, a few on runouts from good defense, a few on cuts and a few on opportunistic post-ups against smaller players

The OG Appreciation Society prints pxp sequence and pins to the wall.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

This almost brought me to tears. Mario Pasalic loses his father in December, misses a few games to be with his family and then scores for Atalanta and points upward and almost collapses into his teammates’ arms. 7:38-7:47 of this clip. Package cuts off the long group hug. youtu.be/iuKGt96pPNc?...

every republican president destroys the economy

See you Sunday, friends. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Here are two key frames of the video. (Changed language on the first notation.)

It’s a good start!

OG Appreciation Society growing!

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

National security concerns raised by the Pentagon during the leasing and planning of offshore wind projects south of New England were also fully mitigated, because that’s part of what the much maligned NEPA process does: Balances legitimate competing uses for America’s public lands and waters.

Make electricity cheaper and less polluting? Nope. Trump would prefer it be expensive and rely on polluting fossil fuels. Attempting, illegally, to pause in-flight projects is a crazy war on Americans.

45. Specifically, we've decoupled economic growth from fossil energy consumption. Coal demand has collapsed. Oil use is flat. Natural gas use is growing but < GDP, even as standards of living have gone up. That's happened because of higher efficiency and decarbonization.

We all have things to be thankful for. 16/6/11, a steal and a block and +13 and led the second-unit charge to trim a double digit deficit. Yeah.

Another day, another day for @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social to do wrong by the people of NY and America.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Spurs led Knicks 92-81 with 14:07 left to play Knicks outscored Spurs 43-21 rest of the way 4th quarter rebounds! - Spurs: 6 as a TEAM - OG by himself: 7 - Mitchell Robinson: 8 (6 offensive)

Here is the Department of Homeland Security touting this new ban by describing the (among others) spouses and children of U.S. citizens coming on visas as "foreign invaders." It has never been about legal versus illegal. They hate legal immigration. They want to stop it. That's the story.

Open New York’s 2026 NYC Policy Agenda is out now! Here’s how we plan to turn New Yorkers’ mandate for housing into action:

NYC is not building “boatloads of housing”. Last year, Manhattan permitted fewer units (2,347) than 1 boat (Icon of the Seas, 2,800 units)

Every time there is a list of Senate Dems doing a bad, Gillibrand is on it. She’s gotta go, but that 2030 primary is a long way away.

Good clips for the Non-Wemby DPOY award campaign.

This is a fascinating new paper (and thread) on the way that a federal planning program in the 1970s ended up encouraging many cities to permit less housing in decades the followed ⬇️

Absolutely wild that this is still Democrats' messaging. As I wrote in September and will write again... www.latimes.com/environment/...

We’ll all miss this just a little bit.

CdK carries Atalanta to an intense 2-1 over Chelsea. La Dea have 4 wins from 6 games in the Champions League and 3 wins from 14 in Serie A. No cheap wins in the CL: they’ve beaten the 3rd place team in Ligue 1, 5th in Premier League and 7th in Bundesliga.

Come for the important insight about changing NBA strategy, enjoy Steven Adams about how annoying it is when it works: “You feel like you have it, and then a f—— guard just full jump comes and takes it.”

Oh, is that corrupt?

OG Anunoby on the Desmond Bane play: “I should have caught it.”

Love OG. His confusion is so genuine. “What are you doing?”

Kinda amazing that as IU lined up on 3&6, neither Gus nor Joel on Fox broadcast pointed out that the biggest play in the game was a 50-yd pass from Mendoza to Becker on 3&2. Even more amazing that they didn’t mention it after the pair connected on a 33-yder for the second big conversion!

Red light CRIMINAL summonses against cyclists. Based on where enforcement happens, this is not just.

Read the report or listen to the podcast? Tough call.

I would like social media to be all about the very best and silliest fake Giannis trades, and how the Knicks pull it off, but this old racist dude is unfortunately still president. It would be a lot better if he wasn’t.

Naw. I don’t think they need bigger versions of this product. Plenty for ~450 sf of space. Single family homes will have multiple windows/apartments/rooms and then folks can toss in two or three of these. One bigger unit would have distribution issues to other parts of the house, no?

Reads a bit like a Midea press release- no mention of condensate management - but I think window units are coming to eat mini-splits’ lunch in a lot of multifamily retrofit applications. www.fastcompany.com/91448042/mid...

KAT is a much better passer after his first dribble than he was last year. Last year, if he put the ball on the deck, he was going to the rim. In the first half against MIL alone, two nice dimes, one to Clarkson and one to Bridges off the bounce. Congrats to Brown or whoever on staff worked w him.

Always: “Instead, Guilford receives much stronger protections than McElderry Park, a disparity that makes sense only when you understand zoning’s origins as a tool for racial and socioeconomic exclusion.” Every city/region can substitute in their own neighborhood names.

So many words and still no “impeach and remove.” Why?

The Knicks traded him for Dillon Jones and a 2024 2nd round draft pick (Melvin Ajinça)… oops.

Absolutely brutal report just out from National Association of Realtors on the utterly broken US housing market. First-time homebuyers fell to a historic low of just 21% of all homebuyers, and their median age was an all-time high of 40 years old. The American Dream is dead.

I know the Mayor doesn’t control the MTA, but fixing this does fit nicely with an agenda focused on affordability
