Thanks to Santi Ruiz for hosting @alonlevy.bsky.social on Statecraft.

No thanks to most of the critics.

I would add that if Alon is wrong, it’s because Americans refuse to change the thing being criticized *at all* not just because the costs are ordained to be $$$ from on high

Idiots. I like new metro lines in « région parisienne » but damn this is not it. Massive stations meant to win prizes and get attention of architects like Saint-Denis Pleyel are Not. It.

Elmo’s site is a cesspool but this floated onto my timeline

I don’t follow the person

2/3 of responses blamed the unions, called out the cost creep for builders/developers, want to adopt global (Euro) standards instead

Yeah so I’m gonna explain this once and for all

The opposition in a unified executive-legislature parliamentary system like those in the UK and in many Commonwealth countries responds to the govt’s actions and essentially prepares for the possibility of forming a govt themselves

The NNSA is getting gutted oops

And HUD was a separate post tonight in addition to the mega thread.

I mean

Musk is clearly making censorship and other anti-1A decisions!

Yes.

Also, can we get NDOT to improve lights on Monroe? many peds, too many cars speeding in both directions (especially from Rosa Parks; they blast by 7th Ave in the dark)

I really hate the FDA. Other countries accepted this trade-off! Fiasp is the fastest-acting insulin and insurers are even making it a preferred drug!!

I definitely had friends and got invited places (not much but sometimes in middle school, even). Never with the coolest kids.

But I also moved at six. Your story hit hard.

And this is my life.

Another choice downstream of “firefighters trained as EMTs are our first/primary responders to medical emergencies”

I have to do the rolls again. Dough didn’t rise. At least it’s not that hard (Claire Saffitz’s rolls)

And man. That comment.

Photo pourrie mais ça me rappelle les bureaux de la préfecture du Pas de Calais. La préfecture elle-même, c’est une pure merveille à mon avis.

A very dumb Nashville sidewalk shed. Setback, no real façade that could crumble. no visible overhead work Best of all, it opens in the middle.

Northern France, the Netherlands and E. Asia: places where it doesn’t rain a lot.

I didn’t say “Europe”.
