I’ll never forget that when Sharp Objects came out Nuzzi wrote that piece criticizing the show and the book for perpetuating the stereotype that female journalists sleep with their sources.

The entirety of every urban area, including its suburbs, should be governed by one central local government with one school district. No more exclusive enclaves with snob zoning and pseudo-private schools.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This is a straight up construction failure. The point of that curb cut there is to convey stormwater into the planted area to slow and pretreat it before it hits the waterway.
Having that area higher than the surrounding impervious surface completely ruins the entire concept!

Think reeeeeaaallll hard about why this same thing, an insane drop in housing production, happened in every city in America immediately after the Civil Rights movement
amusing chart. it turns out New York City built more housing units in the 1920s than in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s put together www.nyc.gov/content/plan...

After doing over a decade of activism on the ground to get more homes built here in California. This line is the crux of why purely local reforms do not work.
You can have hundreds of hours of community meetings and still will not convince a critical mass of people to build an apartment complex

This does little for federal workers as they will just do it after Jan 30
The RIFs language is actually great. Not only does it rehire the people RIFed during the shutdown, it makes it an unequivocal Antideficiency Act violation to do ANY MORE RIFs through the duration of the CR (Jan 30)
Completely stops Trump/Vought Phase 2 for now
Would love to see this standardized

The wonderful old-Twitter experience of a global group chat during a live event or breaking news is a thing you can't do on Threads bc of its trash algorithms and you can't do on X bc it's a Nazi propaganda weapon, but it's really happening on Bsky now and I hope more holdouts start to discover that
Fwiw, it’s nice to have a place to chat during a live event. That was one of the things that Twitter was great for. Before the dark times. Before the empire.
