It's been said over and over, but it bears repeating: treating housing as healthcare and simply providing shelter to people who need it is WAY LESS EXPENSIVE to society than allowing people to suffer in the streets.
The only reason to not deploy a housing-first strategy is pure sadism.

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.
Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

it's a question of saving net lives. because if we don't get some people fighting back who thinks Sherman was too soft, we're gonna wind up needing people who think Dresden got let off easy
what I want out of the next president is someone who thinks general sherman didn't go far enough

I don't like this trend of people being afraid to experience (negative) emotions when consuming art.
Experiencing things outside of your own point of view makes life a lot more interesting, and is honestly necessary to understand the world and people around you.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.
I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

people who use AI as a replacement for thinking, learning and communicating should be shamed and punished. the same way we shame and punish drunk drivers, or people who negligently discharge firearms.

As an elder millenial I either say “wassssssuuuuuuup” or just refuse to answer the phone at all.
I have learned that Gen Z expects the person calling to say "hello" first, instead of the person answering; upending a century of phone norms. You know what? fine, I say. Phone calls aren't what they used to be anyway www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-phone-...
Gen Z doesn't say 'hello' when answering the phone. I'm concerned.
Gen Z is making up its own etiquette rules when it comes to answering the phone. Some of them aren't saying "hello." They want you to first.

A few thousand people gathered for Donald Trump's fascist military parade. Many millions assembled to oppose it.
Trump's core of support is comprised chiefly of stay-at-home racists and mercenaries who hurt people for pay.
Those who act according to their consciences overwhelmingly oppose him.
