The median year that a rental building in the United States was built is 1977. I think the fact that fact that half of rental housing in the United States is more than 50 years old, is quite important for the economics of housing. www.census.gov/data-tools/d...

No Wars. No Kings. 3/28 @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social Rte. 2 Massachusetts. Local protests across the state or come to Boston 1-4.

Regardless of whether Khelif is biologically intersex, the idea that “woke gender ideology” had infiltrated fucking *Algeria* was always moronic

The first time as farce, the second time as “lol, lmao”

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

It. Is. In. The. Fourteenth. Amendment. It. Is. A. Right.

They're setting up Vance to run as the anti-war candidate in 2028 and the stupidest people you know are all going to fall for it.

Yup. Politico: “Senate Republicans accepted what Democrats have been offering for weeks — cash for all of DHS except for ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection.” www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

“Facilitatory surrounds resembled naturalistic continuations of the optimal center stimulus” Excellent: this physiology data supports our recent finding using patterned stimulation—together suggesting that visual cortex neurons go beyond the classical RF and reflect the structure of natural vision.

This is unpleasant to watch, but it's also why he keeps fucking up regime consolidation.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

I certainly disagree with that because my ideology is of a leftist who wants to improve society and isn't that concerned with excessive government coercion as ipso facto bad. The thing I object to is presenting "we should just let people piss on the subway if they want to" *as* leftism.

Lawmakers are pressing Tulsi Gabbard to reveal whether use of a VPN (foreign or even in the US) may expose you to surveillance by the NSA. www.wired.com/story/using-...

The labor movement is not anti-tech. We’re anti-greed. We’re against tech being used against us, without our input or consent. The decisions we make on A.I. now will impact us 50 years down the road. That’s why we’re fighting for guardrails—to protect our jobs and our freedoms.

hot take: Iran letting a few ships through while blocking passage on the rest is a show of force; proves that they control the strait and are normalizing paying for transit

“May your house be live on CNN.” -legit curse used around the world

America in a nutshell but everyone thinks it doesn’t apply to them.

“When Americans do not have to confront the ways that our government attempted to exterminate Native peoples and their cultures, we are more liable to view westward expansion as our historic destiny.”

New paper finds that "inclusionary zoning" in NYC increased rents, especially rents in zones immediately next to where IZ applied, and my view is that the paper provides evidence that IZ actually accelerated displacement and gentrification in this instance. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Yep, and both are complete psychos lol.

ending car dealerships would cut the heart out of Republican suburbia a million little fiefdoms for the biggest asshole in town, spreading poison all across the country

Not a single prominent Republican will respond to the most basic gutter racism coming from the leader of their party.

Okay, fine, whatever. There is no difference between Jane Austen and your Bulbasaur/Deadpool slash fic and everything above a fourth grade level is completely inaccessible unless you have fifty billion dollars even if you have an internet connection and a library card. You all win.

what's wrong with Platner's politics is something that's wrong with *progressive* politics, a kind of dumb guy conspiracism version of neo-Brandeisianism people saying he's another Fetterman or Sinema are not only mistaken I think but not addressing that the call is coming from inside the house

This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...

they're calling it the greatest refutation of realist theories of international relations in history, folks, the greatest and most beautiful "golden" refutation

There are a lot of smart implementation people gravitating to the Mamdani administration right now. For example, @lukef.bsky.social, who wrote this piece, is the leading government delivery innovation for NYC now. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-means-...

The digital sphinx: Can a worm brain control a fly body? https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.20.713233v1

What an abstract! "The resulting digital sphinx produces highly realistic fly walking - yet it is biologically meaningless. This exercise teaches us nothing about either animal"

if anything like this actually comes to fruition it is inarguable that donald trump started and comprehensively lost a war in less than a month this is an absolute body blow to the idea of american hegemony

like no shit our fine finishing schools are not going to produce the revolutionary vanguard

It compounds The internet will change the world but you should be ashamed to use it. Video games can teach but you should be ashamed to use them. Phones, wearables, Wikipedia, Linux, ... Now we distill all of that into a frail robot shaped thing and it's all okay now?? Wild they got boomers onboard

even setting aside the intended effect of campus crackdowns: one difference between now and two years ago is that half or so of them are gone, having received their four year degrees, and "students" (2026) and "students" (2024) refer to two largely different populations of people

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

"imagine a school where every movement is accounted for" FUCK OFF with this shit. first nyc schools bans phones so students can "live in the moment" and then they turn around and use this shit to track our bathroom breaks like a fucking amazon factory.
