Some wildly poor economics from Calgary's blanket rezoning. 1. If no one will buy it, you've priced it too high and it's not a starter home. 2. If no one buys such houses, no rowhome conversions. 3. Ask your grandkids if you should spend $20k to block their friends without inheritances from homes.

Fat cat Friday?

Princeton- and Harvard- educated former Army Reserve officer with a crusader tattoo and a history of falling up:

Total loss for the Trump admin on its attack against Anthropic.

lotta conversations like this one (via @bradlipton.bsky.social )

No.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top House Dem appropriator, says DHS is actively choosing not to pay TSA workers while paying employees at ICE, CPB, Coast Guard and Secret Service. And that the TSA administrator confirmed this herself on Weds. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

legitimately all they know how to do is whine

“Back when I argued Trayvon Martin deserved to be stalked and shot, I did so from a place of principle.”

the level of completely fanatical delusion in this “cabinet meeting” is off the fucking charts *even by trump II standards*, the whole reason trump got *reelected* is because americans viscerally hate volatility

the guy whose state only exists because of great power protections over the Strait of Malacca is someone to pay attention to here

this rules

Ms. Rachel crushing it.

Rotating this burger in my mind.

the media made a multi-day scandal during the 2016 election about Bill Clinton having a single short conversation with Loretta Lynch on the grounds it represented outrageous interference with the DOJ's independence. They never cared about it, it turns out:

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

This is not, in fact, what I want from sea food.

You can tell a retail business is well and truly fucked when they're fucking with dress code and forcing employees to be frindlier.

a lot of people are reading this as an AI bubble beginning to burst which maybe idk but I read it more as the Scarlett Johansson deepfake company getting its lunch eaten by the "a guy can code up a CRM in a week to replace the one your mid-size business currently pays $10k a month for" LLM company

Trump 2 started with companies paying corrupt bribes to Trump by “settling” totally frivolous lawsuits. Now Trump will order his DOJ to “settle” a series of frivolous lawsuits by his cronies as a mechanism for stealing your money straight from the federal treasury.

Our official statement to the MAGA justices on the Court:

Okay, so: 1) fertilizers are in shortage; 2) E15 comes from corn fed with fertilizers; 3) land used to grow corn for ethanol produces 3.2% of the energy generated by covering the same amount of land with solar panels. With all respect, what are we doing here?

Want to feel old? All the teenagers who used to email Rockstar Games asking why you can't shoot dogs in Grand Theft Auto now work for the federal government

Raul Rivera yelling outside Mamdani presser. Mamdani: “I want that man to be able to afford to keep living in NYC, because the day that I don't hear him yelling at me, it means he got priced out of this place.” “We need to make this a city where it's affordable enough to yell at your politicians.”

Wild how the quality of work here is so much better than most transportation work in the city, which is contracted out. We need projects cheaper and faster—start by removing the profit margins and rent-seekers.

Doesn't he seem a little festive to you?

"We have to maintain our leverage over this country, which does whatever it wants anyway because we won't use any of the leverage in question" is the position of a liar.

Never felt bad about doing this until The Onion called me out

American journalists in 2036

I guess my question is, "what is the first thing to meaningfully break, where is it, and how long do we have until it happens?" Because the thing is, even if the war ends tomorrow, a lot of reduced production is locked in for a while.

I’m sure the Ellisons would’ve been thrilled if Weiss turned out to be good at building Fox Lite but it’s also more than fine to defang a news outlet that would cover Trump aggressively and without favor.

Amazon (I know I shouldn't be trying to buy stuff on Amazon) has so fundamentally broken its user interface in order to implement its beta AI chat bot that you cannot actually select clothing size and color on a consistent basis. Sometimes the UI loads it, sometimes it doesn't! The future!

This will do little to comfort the many people about to experience hardship because of this, but it feels great to not own a car rn.

Going to need a church committee to undercover all this stuff

Bruen, whatever happened there...

Cory maybe the things they say in public are more important than the personal assurances they offer privately so as to mollify you.

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

>everyone hates him >things are real fucked up in iran >oil is bad  welcome back, President Carter. i see you're a republican this time, that's a strange choice bsky.app/profile/metr...

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

truly, nobody is feeling more vindicated this week than airport dads

Now listening.

lmao, man

Globle take of the day: "we'll tell you it's adjacent" is some bullshit where archipelagos are involved.

Let's do the fucking news!
