part of what I like about Mamdani is his admission that housing affordability is a more complex problem than either building more housing or expanding rent control. You need to do both in order to protect the most vulnerable now and improve the problem long term.

if you want to actually push left-wing policies and build power you need deliver change to voters. if you're purely concerned with messaging to a handful of brain damaged twitter leftists you will never actually improve people's lives.

this is what happens when your entire political consciousness is based around getting in social media dunks

It’s pretty rare that the building trades council raises questions about city investments in construction projects, so this is quite notable re: Lansdowne www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

I replaced this anode less than five years ago, and I’m on city water. When was the last time you replaced the one in your hot water tank?

listen i get that we have one planet and the billionaires are taking us all for a ride, but every time i reload it’s just a stream of self-proclaimed leftists saying we need to shut down construction projects and grocery stores that overwhelmingly employ union workers

Saw something that @realgdt.bsky.social said the other day, and remembered I had something I started a while ago that I should finish up. I'm so tired of all this.

as part of the renewal of the federal new democratic party i’d like to propose that everyone who is earning or has a recently earned a social sciences degree make just a wee bit of space for everyone else for a little while. consider it an equity measure, if that helps make it more palatable to you

Ursula Le Guin's 1999 letter to Michael Powell, the owner of Powell's Books in Portland. Powell's workers unionized in 2000 and have faced some union-busting measures since, but were the first contract in ILWU Local 5.

This is probably my most fave moment in animation & it's in A Boy Named Charlie Brown- and it has nothing to do with the story, Schroder just loves him some Beethoven. Yeah... appreciate this freaking freeform animated mastery flex for almost 4 minutes www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CK5...
