Ever feel you wanna scream a bunch of private shit into the ether since you can't say it to anyone else, then you think better of it because of AI, and because it's private shit, & really it's only my own shit perspective which can't by definition be inclusive of others the shit is related to?

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

if Seattle could pull it together for a downtown set of schools. Maybe in all those empty tech high-rises.... It's what works.
Way back in 2018 I did a walking tour of Vancouver with @brenttoderian.bsky.social and he explained how that city overcame this problem. You need family-sized units & also, crucially, *good urban schools*.
Young families typically leave cities for the suburbs. Here’s how to keep them downtown.
Urbanist Brent Toderian explains how Vancouver held onto its families.
