if you live in New York Fucking City i think you should be legally prohibited from complaining about "private investors buying all the housing" bro that is the only possible way that cities function American homeowner brain is a civilizational cancer

I love Alysa Liu's story. It's such a powerful example of intrinsic motivation and real freedom to choose. She quit at 16 when she felt her choices were being made for her. She came back to it entirely on her own. You can see her joy. It reminds me so much of what I wrote about Monsters, Inc and UBI

3v3 OT on Olympic ice is ridiculous

the two main drivers of American history are racism and pedophilia in that order

ALL HAIL EMPEROR ALYSA

Liberation Day: 2/20/2026

Lol. Lmao even.

I love women

God, I see what you have done for others

Fun fact: prices are higher in places where consumers have larger budgets.

For me it's the inverse

It's very funny that conservatives did this whole "you can't say anything any more, because of Woke. we're the new punk rock now" And then after one year in power they get so triggered by Bad Bunny that they make their own all-white halftime show, and it's the most cringe thing in human history.

📖 Just read: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, and wow, what a haunting experience. I finished it about a week ago and I can still feel it crawling under my skin. Think it'll be one of those books that lives in you forever. Makes you want to cling to your loved ones. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is now the afternoon of hearing day 5 of the environmental appeal which has delayed 90 units of affordable housing on Bainbridge Island (which is in the top 3% most-unaffordable cities in the US). They are still discussing what metadata gets created when Word saves a file to AutoRecover.

Sam Darnold is a superbowl winner. Very funny sentence 😅 Go Hawks! 💙💚

the left-NIMBY crashout as the most successful elected socialists and progressives embrace pro-housing policies is truly a sight to behold

Pedocons

For such an important message, it's a shame he chose a sans serif font.

Huge day for those of us who spent much of 2016-2019 arguing "trump is a racist" to the enlightened centrists in our friends groups.

For #BlackHistoryMonth, here's Du Bois laying it down: "America thus stepped forward in the first blossoming of the modern age...a vision of democratic self-government... It was the last Great Battle of the West, for human freedom... And then some unjust God ... dropped a black man in the midst."

Proud Floyd

That's it, we're abolishing the Qualifications Clause

The greatest peaks in American history have been moments of proud openness and interest in the common good.

Conservatives mock liberals for having a wide moral circle. They say we have 'suicidal empathy' and allow ourselves to be bled dry by parasitic foreigners. But in history it's hard to think of cultures dying from too much openness. And many that have self-extinguished via failed selfish conquest.

Southern planters prevented the white working class from seeing its solidarity with the slave through the feelings of superiority offered by white supremacy and the chance to inflict violence in the slave patrol. Today it is corrupt billionaires fooling MAGA via white supremacy & ICE violence.

Latest NIMBY argument just dropped! We can't build affordable housing because the local pears are too expensive for the poors!

I was late, so I turned on tonight's Bainbridge Island Council meeting in time to hear deputy mayor Kirsten Hytopoulos giving a speech about how "density is a gift to development" and that the city is already "drowning in people of a certain income level" and doesn't need more market rate housing.

Actually it's a good slogan because all land is stolen.

The only white genocide happening in America is that "they" (ICE) are killing "Americans" (suburban moms and VA nurses).

Comedy is legal again!!

Darkly amusing that the Epstein docs were released as a collection of PDF files.

Know how I know that NIMBYism is reactionary?: Donald Trump, standing amid ash and rubble: “I’m not going to let [low income housing] destroy the value of their houses.”

I'm pleased to report that Kala the suburban miner is back at it and currently devising her own cement mix.

Why the fuck is this an article in WaPo? Do they want to do a "Stephen Hoskins, dime-a-dozen economist, says 'actually supply and demand are real, and why did you ask a Planner that question before asking me?'" They haven't even ever done a profile of YIMBYs in the first place.

I mean this in the spirit of curiosity: why the fuck did the Biden DOJ not release these Epstein files? Were they just completely asleep at the wheel? Did Trump have the files stashed away in a Maralago bathroom? Seriously what the fuck.

At this rate we're getting Blarkansas

When they write the history of the great defenders of American rights & liberties, it'll go: * Founding Fathers * Abolitionists * Suffragettes * Freedom Riders * Stonewall Rioters * Margaret from Minneapolis

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

It should have ended with the Access Hollywood tape

Not necessarily true. The DOJ might be releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DNI is rigging the elections and sending voter data to Russia.

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

it continues to be hilarious that that QAnon and Pizzagate believers constructed entire code languages that the secret pedophile cabal use to communicate and then every actual Epstein email is just: Dear Jeffrey, I love the girls you got for me, very nubile. Can't wait to see you at RapeFest 2012!

It's wild that "every accusation is a confession" is so true that it includes Pizzagate

BILLIONAIRE TRUMP'S BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND LIED ABOUT HIS TIES TO MUTUAL BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND PEDOPHILE GEOFFREY EPSTEIN. There, fixed that for you.

Hey so don't you find it a bit weird that Trump & so many of his besties were also hella close to the world's most notorious pedophile? And that they've all repeatedly lied about it? And desperately tried to hide the evidence? Strikes me as a bit suspicious.
