One cool way to solve homelessness that isn’t an authoritarian take over of a city is to give everyone homes

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.

β€œBEFORE you start criticizing a drug addict, ask yourself some things:

Can I go without social media for 30+ days?

Can I go without my smart phone for 30+ days?

Can I go without fried foods for 30+ days?

Can I go without sugar for 30+ days? ….

We’ve been dehumanized in the US and much of the world for at least several decades, but this is what the people of Iran are actually like, full of warmth, kindness, and generosity ❀️

The red state/blue state framework is an inelegant ruse to help people turn against each other and our collective interest.

We'll never get the freedom we deserve by targeting places where local governments have disenfranchised and suppressed Black and Brown people.

Cut it out.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

When America awarded 49.8 percent of the popular vote to Trump, they were crying out as one that they wanted it to be June of 2020 again, and then to just hang out in that vibe for as long as possible. And on that front you absolutely have to hand it to the guy for getting us there so quickly.

Absolutely. And the fact that it’s a calculus you have to do in every part of life. Personal, professional, doesn’t matter.

Constant do I buy that or wait. Am I safe for now or not? Is this a worthy investment given tomorrow might present a whole other reality.

It’s too much.

After years of head-scratching, I think we all viscerally understand how (not necessarily why) the 1918 flu pandemic was memory holed.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

It was funny but I didn’t understand the conceit. Like why was the president doing a stand up routine? Lol

Exactly. The Pope adheres to ancient, straightforward Sunday School teachings about helping the needy and not being cruel to the vulnerable.

That this is being portrayed as radical and partisan says way more about the ones making the accusation than it does about him.

Would the Housing Crisis Ease if Boomers Rented Out Their Empty Rooms? (Gift Article) Millions of single-family homes are underused, on spacious lots. Refitting them for β€œroommate houses” or backyard cottages could make a difference.

"Mr. Anderson’s hope, he said, is that the project will inspire others and show cities that multifamily living can coexist in single-family neighborhoods." @conordougherty.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/b...
