There's hundreds of people homeless living in tents,

Each year there are multiple cases of people living like rats in undeclared attics or other apartments

Oh and this GROSSLY misrepresents the reality of the situation.

But I'm not surprised, it's the NYT

This is a hilariously NYT-fied version of Paris

This gives the image of a Paris that would be soooo socialized that even Socialists from the 1970s would dream about

The truth is: yes, Paris invests a bit into social housing BUT

It has not for DECADES and the wait time is like 6 years, on average?
"How Does Paris Stay Paris? By Pouring Billions Into Public Housing"

One quarter of residents in the French capital now live in government-owned housing, part of an aggressive effort to keep lower-income Parisians — and their businesses — in the city.

It's an odd feeling to bond with someone over how terrible our previous exes were. Like, I do appreciate them but precisely for that reason I'd rather they didn't have similar stories yet that's partly why we bond and appreciate each other but still could horrible people just get broken knees now?

Art needs skill. It takes time to get skills. If you want more great art, give people more control of their time.

Here are some authors who have been targeted for review bombs by another author purely because they seem to be coming out at a similar time.

In my nightmare, I was telling someone about the nightmare I had within it and they were on the verge of meeting someone I loathe, confirming the part of the first one where I got slowly isolated from everyone in my life.
Mornings are difficult when one has to make sure they're really awake.

"Non binary people you're gorgeous, take five" is a sentence I need to hear and abide to more often. Made me take some time enjoying coffee and cookies watching @theabigailthorn.bsky.social 's last philosophytube instead of trying to multitask.

If you think about it, Alien IS bery christmascy
Virginal conception in a shithole and such
Meaning it can be seen as a metpahor for how damaging christianity has been, though yes i know it's about capitalism sending people out to die for profit but hey, can be both, easily even.
