My PARENTS paid like $80/credit for their Uni classes. They bought our home for $20K. They got professional jobs in their field before they were done their degrees.
Times change. Our kids are the first generation in a long time to not be better situated than their parents & grandparents.

Look.
It’s not surprising why “young people” are “saying no” to marriage and childbearing/rearing.
THEY CAN’T FUCKING AFFORD TO LIVE.
I don’t know why this is a mystery.
When I was in my 20s I rented a whole ass 4br house for $550/month all in. Groceries and bills were $200/month.

In the 1960s the Supreme Court banned *explicit* racial discrimination in housing but cities had found a way to maintain segregation through zoning regimes. They blocked any new construction in your “historic urban neighborhood” keeping it exclusive & white

San Diego adopted single-family zoning in 1923 — effectively barring most people of color from the city's highest-resourced neighborhoods.

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

OpenAI Tries to Shift Responsibility to Users
OpenAI is trying to shift the blame for bad legal and medical advice from its chatbot away from the company and onto users. We agree that no chatbot should be used for medical or legal advice.

This will make these parts of Toronto an even more vibrant place to live, work, and play.
It will also induce more space and transportation conflicts as people insist on driving and parking mostly-empty cars in the core.
The solution cannot be to cater to cars. They take up too much space.

This episode should be required listening for anyone who has ever said, "America has always been this way!" with regard to car dependency. People in the early 20th century recognized the danger of cars but the auto industry fought hard to build infrastructure and develop policies that drove sales.
NEW EPISODE: "The Creation of America's Car Culture." Producer Ilana Strauss talks to @norton.bsky.social about the two men who, in the 1920s, teamed up to sell more cars and shape the way cities handle traffic. Their legacy can be felt across the country today. podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/t...

so much resistance against "wokeness"/leftist politics is annoyance at cringy elements, though it's possible that it's a facade on actual rejection of the content.
some leftists/leftist stuff is annoying/silly; that seems less forgiveable in centrists than it otherwise would be, for some reason.

my wokest opinion is that land acknowledgements are fine. people knowing a little bit about the land you're on, even if one isn't invested in a land back project, is not particularly worse than the status quo, even if one comes by this info in a way that is somewhat cringe and forced
"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.

In my brief block by block encounters with crossing guards I see how drivers menace them, inching towards. What a whole shift must be like.
The Premier and other politicians, Toronto Police, other forces, have taken the lid of all this. A death drive amid other bs rhetoric of public safety.

I'm an Open Borders true believer. I think we should replace the entire DHS with a New American Welcoming Department that hands out Social Security numbers and green cards to new arrivals right at points of entry and helps them find places to live and work.
