"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Recently I tried to explain the Monsters' Ball, a weekly post celebrating the highest user-rated comments on Videogum, and then that inevitably led to trying to explain a commenters' revolt to disqualify GIFs as eligible or at least discourage their use.
What I mean is, maybe not a "mistake."

news websites made a mistake when they killed on-site comment sections and outsourced all audience interaction to hyper-scaled, badly-run trash fires like Facebook

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Not the point of the clip, just responding to the chyron:
John Deere has laid off more than 3500 people in Iowa and Illinois over the last 2 years. This new factory will create fewer than 200 new jobs. In North Carolina.

Brooke Rollins: "The American dream is not being on a food stamp program. The American dream is not being on all these programs. That should be a hand up, not a handout. As of yesterday, we have moved 1.75 million people off of SNAP."

This runtime list of Coen Bros movies is missing their longest, Buster Scruggs (2'13"), and Hail, Caesar!, which ties A Serious Man at 1'46''.
Only two of their movies push past the 2-hour mark. But which of their movies do you think should have been longer?

I need Marisa Abela saying "perfect" as a sound effect when I send an email or publish a draft or finish any kind of work task. Basically, I've figured out what my positive reinforcement replacement for social media likes & faves should be and it's that.

NYT: Trump has monetized his return to office in a way with out precedent and personally profited by $1.4 billion over his first year: "We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view. And they continue to grow."

I’m not sure what prompted me to finally go through Peaky Blinders. I needed a treadmill show and that one fit the bill. I was surprised to learn that there’s a movie coming out in a couple months. Honestly as I near the end of the show that news is kind of a spoiler.
