I can't tell you how excited I am to work with Heather Boyer and the Island Press team, which really gets what I'm trying to do with this projects and has published more than a few of my favorite books on urbanism.

I've been thinking about this in relation to prominent journalists defending Nuzzi and the best way I can draw a distinction between the two cases is to say that one is about accountability for geniune misconduct and another is about sticking your neck out for what's right and possibly losing access
I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

Yeah there's plenty to criticize about Al Jazeera, but as one of several Jewish journalists who worked at Al Jazeera America I find it obscene that Hurwitz would equate them with a Nazi propagandist.
Perhaps I’m ignorant, but I did not realize that Nick Fuentes and Al Jazeera were comparable media organizations.

Very rare to see someone lay out so explicitly that they do not consider "never again" to be a universalist creed. I don't know how people who talk like this can stand to look themselves in the mirror.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

Sounds like the conversation elided Musk's real accomplishment at DOGE, which was causing the deaths of millions of people.
Was just listening to a conversation between a VC and an author who writes about innovation, and they were discussing "why Elon couldn't successfully reform the government" and it was the dumbest conversation I've heard in a while. And I realized they were starting with the wrong premise...

imo Velshi should bring an actual housing policy expert on the show instead of elevating a demagogic crank like Stoller.
Home ownership is now out-of-reach for many Americans. @matthewstoller.bsky.social says that's because starter homes "don't exist anymore," and business and government have forgotten that "homes are for people to live in," not investments. #Velshi
Matt Stoller: How 'oligarchs' and 'extraction' fueled America's housing crisis
Home ownership is now out-of-reach for many Americans. “Homes are for people to live in,” says Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project, but he warns big landlords are "building homes for money, not people." President Trump claims to care about home affordability, but Stoller insists his administration is actually "on the side of oligarchs."

My crazy idea for incorporating public feedback into city planning: You let residents vote for representatives in city government, and those people are empowered to implement the policies they promised while campaigning.
At Land Use (again) and it's literally all the same people it always is (myself included)...like who are we fooling that the same 75 people showing up every time is "the will of the people"? What a sham public process is sometimes, sadly

I guess if this is what abolishing the carceral state looks like, I'm not really sure what the difference is between doing that and making every single living soul into a one-person carceral state.

So @50501movement.bsky.social is circulating a video of a guy saying candidates "are being paid to be Israel first, to be loyal to the Zionist project and not to their constituents, not to the American people." Which is just a hairs breadth away from saying "Zionist Occupied Government." Not great!
