There is an emerging and worrying trend I've witnessed recently in YIMBY spaces where people are starting to show a willingness to embrace greenfield sprawl as a solution to our housing and affordability crises. As a reminder: sprawl is a distraction and a ponzi scheme. Nothing more.

the @betterdcregion.bsky.social team is back in Annapolis today! and arranged in height order.

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Do you like the idea of more people being able to live in Montgomery County? Want to check out a food hall? Come on out Wednesday in downtown Silver Spring, the biggest little CDP in the world. Also if you get anxious talking to new people it’s fine, that’s me and half of the group too.

I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

you know what they say: sometimes in life, you sign up for a polar plunge and then there’s the biggest raw sewage spill of all time into the Potomac and suddenly you are signed up for getting pelted with ice water balloons and squirt guns,

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

This really is a great picture:

ripping out the bike/walk path and public spaces here would be a huge loss, not just for the many many people who use it for recreation + as a gathering place but also for birders, for whom Hains Point is one of *the* most popular + unique birdwatching spots in all of DC

Pictures from Purple Line work at Silver Spring last weekend. They were taking down the extra walkway on the giant flyover! Crews used the metro tracks for part of this.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
