The domino meme and the smallest domino is "Craigslist destroys classified ad revenue for local newspapers" and the big domino is, well, everything happening now
one of the underrated factors for the rise in scamming across U.S. society is the death of local media.
It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

Goddam right. You do the right thing -- which this republic desperately needs done -- and they pull your credentials. So what? You have a phone and your have your sources. or you should. And you continue to report on this presidency as your colleagues now do outside the Pentagon. Enough dishonor.
while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

"For a generation, politicians in Toronto’s inner suburbs have decried their relative lack of amenities while also systematically opposing any measure that would provide them with more amenities" - @thekeenanwire.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
Edward Keenan: Toronto’s decision on corner stores may seem like a win — but it’s only a half-measure on top of another half-measure
Watch City Hall long enough, and you’ll inevitably conclude that some councillors here simply hate urban life.

Public policy has aggressively favoured suburbanization for 100 years. Still, today, central cities are expensive. What does that say?
Right, this is true, but the OVERWHELMING evidence of the past 100 years of American life is that vastly more people want space and a car than a smaller unit and a car-free lifestyle. This is mostly why the suburban share of US population has grown relentlessly for the entire 20th and 21st century
Some people put a premium on space in my experience, others put a premium on not having to have a car and not being isolated out in the suburbs
