It is worth noting that advice like this overly focuses on individual effort compared to systemic changes and government policies like equal pay, higher minimum wages, affordable housing, union benefits, as well as funding for childcare, public education, and public transportation.

The solve for "Sometimes when a service like free childcare is available to all, marginalized communities get squeezed out," is "Address that racism." It's not "Therefore waste incredible amounts of time and money trying to means test something that society should just make available to all.🤡"

Once again, Andor has the perfect quote for this situation: "They have no shame, do they? They don't even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that's the final humiliation."

This.

Pam Bondi is gone yet RFK Jr. remains.

The Marina Is For Everybody is an incredible sign in its own right, but especially so when deployed in opposition to a new housing project in a census tract where the median household income is ~$250k/yr, and average home values are $2,000,000+

In my work with cities around the world, I find that a BIG difference between cities doing remarkable things, and cities that are floundering and failing, is having a culture of energy or a culture of excuse. Either of those cultures are chosen, and built. Either can be deliberately changed.

Of course Poilievre does. Complete lack of ambition for a project that provides better transit, creates good jobs and grows our economy, and increases our competitiveness. Show some ambition to build Canada up and strong!

They think everyone else is a clout seeker as void of moral commitments as they are. Not that these moral commitments are always good, mind you. But they can’t even imagine their existence, for better or worse.

When helium reaches -271°C, it becomes a superfluid, flowing without friction and escaping through tiny pores. A fascinating quantum phenomenon in action.

Chengdu’s Tianfu Greenway threads together 121 ecological parks and 78 beautifully design bridges into one seamless 109 kilometre-long ribbon of active mobility encircling the megacity of 21 million people. It attracts more than 100 million users each year; on foot, bike, and everything in between.

I want a movie about the poor untenured archaeologist who has to cover Indiana Jones' teaching and do his marking while he fucks off to do 'fieldwork'.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

If you have access to this you have to read it. Alex Karp, from Palantir, did a PhD in political philosophy in Frankfurt, with associates of Habermas, though Habermas declined to be a reader of his thesis. Superb review by Emily Jones of @blavatnikschool.bsky.social www.the-tls.com/politics-soc...

The Not-the-Mayor-of-Toronto Doug Ford is doing more to change the city's waterfront (for the worse) than any actual mayor in recent history has. He is insulting Torontonians and trampling all sorts of norms and boundaries in the process. #GiftLink 🎁 #ToPoli #OnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

"Since becoming mayor in '14, Hidalgo has rolled out policies restricting car use while incentivizing cycling. Her strategy has worked: Paris automotive traffic fell by around half in the two decades, while the number of bicycle lanes increased 6x. Bikes now make twice as many journeys as cars."

Maybe a silver lining of Trump's warmongering stupidity is that it'll finally teach this country (and incidentally the rest of the world) that the U.S. cannot dictate global outcomes on the strength of RAWRRRR BIG NAVY NUKES HIT URG WITH CLUB.

This isn't a stretch based on assumptions or interpretations, or just some unpublished notes and letters. He very plainly said she was the co-author at the time. This dedication is in the first edition, published a year after she had died.

This @the-independent.com story is such an obvious lift of mine that they didn’t even bother deleting my site’s referral URL. And no, they do not credit me for reporting it first or (intentionally) link to my story. In j-school, rewording someone else’s reporting was called plagiarism. 1/

Back before the idiot warmongers ...

I'm old enough to remember that George W. Bush is the reason DHS and ICE and several of the secret warrant structures exist, that Obama did not fulfill his mandate of pulling back on abuses of executive power/murdering people in the Middle East, and to know there is a straight line from then to now

This whole administration continues to be an object lesson in the catastrophic folly of letting unserious people have authority over serious things

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.
