This is indeed broadly true of rent-stabilized landlords in NYC when they lobby against things like rent freezes or low proposed annual increases. “Rising costs” in general audience stories about this almost always describe those as, like, maintenance or wages. But it’s mostly debt-servicing.
"owners of residential buildings pay most of their rent earnings not on maintenance or operations, but to service their debts to their creditors...they borrowed too much to buy...based on an expectation that rents would rise faster than they actually did." www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/aft...

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Against scientific evidence and just an act of pure cruelty. The Labour government's school guidance is an attack on basic freedoms and rights of LGBTQ+ people. It's ridiculous to think that these cowards and opportunists are the right people to defend this country's democracy against the far right.
New School Guidance announces:
Full bathroom ban.
Full PE ban.
Full school trip accommodation ban.
Trans kids will not go to the bathroom, do PE or go on any school trips. 1/

Everything about this is great but “cycling is beautiful and will teach you the pattern language of the hidden places in your city if you allow it to” is poetry and perfectly captures why I love riding so much
It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site.

If we’d learned in 2018 that e.g. Seumas Milne was passing privileged government info to a secret network of influence-peddling sex offenders led by the world’s most notorious nonce - do you think the lads would struggle to understand why that had grave implications, far beyond Milne’s office?
I mean: this summary of how fucked it is does not even touch the sides of just how bad it is.

I really need people outside of Seattle to know how much Krist Novoselic sucks
![A screenshot of a Facebook post by Krist Novoselić:
A new proposal would prohibit clearing encampments unless local government provides higher levels of accommodation for shelter. Our state's ruling party is attempting to codify what appears to be a lifestyle. There's no longer any expectation of personal accountability.
Quoted post from Cascade Party Washington:
WA legislature proposal out of touch with worsening chronic addiction homelessness - read now in The Summit (independent press of Cascade Party WA).
