i think @quantian.bsky.social has the best version of this

What's "cognitive surrender" vs successfully adaptive distributed cognition....? Not counting on the academics to answer this one for us I must say

good things can still happen www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

this seems sadly likely. as it turns out there is just not a political coalition available in the united states that actually wants a tight labor market and economic growth and many powerful forces are in fact arrayed against that. bsky.app/profile/colo...

not sure if any of yinz are bidet-knowers, but if so: is toto worth the premium? tempted by budget brands like horow... (this is for a whole-toilet replacement, not just bidet seat)

learned how to say 'go bosnia' in bosnian as part of my supporting the remnants of kakania project it worked though

I'm a non-white fan of ralf rangnick facing an uphill battle convincing people that I genuinely support the austrian futbol team separately and in spite of any post-kakania disputes

“Milwaukee Messi” downs Italy lmao

in my opinion there should also be trans day of audibility where everybody spends all day posting dope experimental music by trans women for me to listen to

There’s some cool recent research on this phenomenon! It turns out vision language models excel at image benchmarks *even when the actual images aren’t provided,* because the answers are implicit in the questions! arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687

Can't stress enough how basically banning people from renting single family homes (which is the flip side of banning companies from renting them out) is basically economic redline with lefty vibes (only the well off can live in suburbs). Sadly I think that is why it is so popular.

Fascinating things are happening in the replies. One person implied this is a far right wing opinion. Another said congestion as a generally acknowledged traffic problem was made up by tech bros.

sick of reading the same few jokes on no-moving discourse ? go read @maiamindel.bsky.social on gentrification. someunpleasant.substack.com/i/191813675/...

My migration into a place - culturally enriching, unfairly maligned, our right to stay a matter of justice and equity. Your migration into a place - basically an invasion, theft of our heritage, a metaphysical attack on the deep spiritual connection we enjoy between our bodies and the land.

Repost to scare your fire department

new insult just dropped (positive affect)

Found the most bluesky board game possible.

Hot take: YIMBY analysis of housing policy is at its core substantially more Marxist than the liberal rights-based view of housing that comes from a lot of the left.

Ironically, in Vancouver if you have individual rezonings, it’s attacked as “spot zoning” and in Calgary the new comprehensive zoning bylaw has been aggressively attacked as “blanket rezoning.” It’s almost as if people who are against change, especially new infill housing, are being inconsistent…

not sure why the ban on foreign routers isn't yet reflected in prices. Just ordered a TP-Link router for 30% off.

I also find it amusing that these are right next to buldak

Ngl it’s a little disturbing to get thunderstorms this early in the year

This was always farcical but it’s particularly so after having been to Japan

Texting my partner “total Slavic victory“ after the penalty shootouts

Based on how well Bosnia-herzogovina defended against wales, I feel less bad now about austria’s draw with the latter

Eight years ago, I was a city planner in Central Queens. One of the worst part of the job was having to tell homeowners that it wasn't legal to build an ADU. Now New York City has a whole website dedicated to helping homeowners build an ADU. The arc of justice is long, etc. housing.hpd.nyc.gov/adu

If wales end up playing Italy I’d favor wales tbh

people using insta pots are de-skilleting themselves

Bleak.

Every extra funding source added to an affordable housing project costs $20,000 more per unit and delays construction four months. States that streamlined it are already building faster. housinggovernance.ternercenter.app#findings

This woman once challenged me to a vagina-off. Yes, you read that correctly.

Rare opportunity to switch to metric coming soon.

Take a look at the historical multifamily production chart. The first half of the period, there's a lot of green. The second half of the period, a lot of red. Zoom in on the green mountains and you'll find federal policies carefully designed to make the line go up.

I didn’t actually check this claim but turns out it’s true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_I...

reminder to me to log off and spend more time on data analysis for our local yimby group (which has already notched some wins)

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?” A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages. It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Do the steps sound familiar?

TIL that pumpkin spice lattes are known among coffee snobs as 'the PSL' and you know what, the acronym is fitting

great stuff from @mraginsky.bsky.social . it would be great if american pragmatism made a comeback via AI discourse. realizable.substack.com/p/artificial...

The craziest thing I learned writing this report is that it costs more money in NYC to move trash from a small apartment building to the curb a few feet away than it does to move it from the curb to these landfills and incinerators hundreds of miles away centerforzerowastedesign.org/all/advocacy...

There’s a feudal land tenure pattern in certain parts of California.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

This is one among many reasons why I side eye anyone who tells me that the problem with the MTA is just a lack of funding

Being killed by a car is effectively treated like dying of natural causes, just one of those things that happen, no way to avoid it.

Like at the end of the day, the vast amount of bugs and regressions are caught by people actually using what you make. You can put that work at a lot of different places in the pipeline but people still gotta use the stuff! (exceptions here include SCADA/ICS; formal verification needed)

Whiplash from vacationing in coastal climates to being back home in a continental climate where daily highs can vary by 40F day to day

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact
