anybody know of any examples of people mapping out where federal funding is flowing in their town/city, and what the impacts are if it is cut off?

It's that time of year when Americans set up quaint, walkable Christmas villages in their living rooms, dreaming of living in such a cozy place.
Meanwhile, they'll show up to city council meetings to fiercely oppose any plan that would actually build that kind of car-lite community in real life.

A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors
As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...

My spouse caught Rosemary’s Baby on TV recently. After a few minutes she said that it’s not about satanists, it’s about how everyone treats you when you’re pregnant.
I don’t know what the policy move is here, but we need to fucking do better on treating pregnant people like people
part of the price for not doing so is, some of them will join weird cults

born and raised upstate NY and I have stopped being Thermostat Dad, heat pumps are that good
I always have to account for whether my cleaning clients have switched to heat pumps because that means I have to be able to remove layers down to sleeveless working in their houses in winter because they can afford to make it that cozy!

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.
