This is annoying, sorry. If it's not on your schedule already please do an episode on the Ann St Garage Collapse! Parking in Manhattan, businesses that shouldn't exist, badly converted structures. Seems on topic!

Of all the problems in the world that AI could be put to solving (and there really are many), "Not enough people posting online" is not one of them.

My latest for @thebarbedwire.bsky.social is about how Ken Paxton's lawsuit aimed at halting decriminalization of cannabis possession in Dallas is the latest example of a budding trend in Texas where Republicans are using state power to crack down on local government

I wish journalists would just write the “Actually I Don’t Think It Matters” story they clearly want to write, instead of googling BS to reverse engineer a “This Happened 3 Times Before So It’s Normal Actually”

Like anybody THAT online can even remember anything or know offhand what normal is!!-

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

so here is the thing, the people who have trump the win did not vote for this. they voted out of a magical belief that trump would lower prices and make them rich. the gap between what they voted for and what trump will deliver is the space for political opportunity! bsky.app/profile/fkes...
This is what the country voted for. Sad.
