we spend a lot of time on this site discussing the flaws of conservative epistemology,like "the world is dangerous and out to kill you and your gut feelings should always be trusted,"but I think we should not spare our ire for centrist *and leftist* epistemological flaws like"bad people don't exist"

Sir, there is concerning intelligence regarding a large and growing "elevator gap" with China.
The United States has the fewest elevators in the rich world, with Canada only a bit ahead. We teamed up with @uytaelee.bsky.social of About Here Videos to investigate why, exactly, North America sucks at elevators.

it's kinda funny that these VCs do this whole "I'm a builder" aesthetic stuff, with rockets on their website when all their investments are basically AI-generated NFT casinos and the typical small town developer has built far more in the real world
Marc andreesen used to follow me but then he blocked me when I called him out for being a NIMBY lol

Almost every US housing policy proposal is like watching a new nightmare be birthed from an inverted corpse of an eldritch horror.
President Trump will issue a plan next week for letting Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment on a home, a senior White House official said Friday.

I have to say, when compared to their role in making the US a democracy in the first place, unions have been conspicuously absent from resistance to authoritarianism this past year. So this is a very important moment.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I agree with this and don't particularly like Newsom, but I will add that the trap the left repeatedly falls into is getting so heated about this stuff that they say things they can't really take back
“Criticizing Newsom” and “campaigning against him” are not mutually exclusive concepts and it’s very weird to act like they are

This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.
Another critical piece of missing context in this story: tax dollars flow from the MSP metro to rural Minnesota. People in the city subsidize the lifestyles of people living in the country minnesotareformer.com/2023/12/04/t...

i would like to highlight the phrase "neighborhood signal chats"
These neighborhood signal chats are absolutely crazy right now. You’ve got young activists in there with the most normie folks alive who all just absolutely fucking hate ICE so much. And they are all willing to put their bodies on the line for their communities.

The fight for “economic populism” makes sense in the current electoral context, but it’s fascinating how disinterested much of the left is in taking advantage of the first time in history when socialists and professionals who know how to run large institutions are ideologically aligned

in 1939 the fascists of the world threw down a single massive bet: that the free people of the world were as weak as they imagined us to be. that we were nations of shopkeepers, who would fold at one touch of the armored gauntlet from truly hard, deadly, motivated, manly men.

Our ability to tell fact from fiction—even when the facts are right in front of you—is nearly gone. This is not going to end well.

To some extent, every American is responsible for what America does by not influencing others to vote for the most harm minimizing candidate though we are obviously less responsible than people that did not vote or voted for the winning party.

Look at how much stronger putting the "Maduro sucked" bit second makes this
Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.
