For generations people “cut off” parents by moving away and mailing them a card once a year. Travel and long distance phone calls were expensive; distance effectively cut people off w/o being so explicit.

The difference now is that communication is cheap so cutting them off requires being explicit.

"Urbanist" is a dog whistle. That job already has a name.

Meanwhile this is pretty much what Comey did to Martha Stewart. She was sent to prison for impeding an FBI investigation..

An almost-full green dumpster sits inside a bus zone on the corner of broad and Snyder in Philadelphia

An almost-full green dumpster sits inside a bus zone on the corner of broad and Snyder in Philadelphia

Just walked by the “city trash collection site” on Broad & Snyder. It’s… a dumpster. It’s also nearly full already, halfway through Day 1 of the strike.

If THIS is Mayor Parker’s plan to avoid paying the striking DC 33 workers, Philly is going to be a full-on apocalyptic stank zone by this weekend

Being a parent is scrolling through your kids tiktok algo to click not interested on shit while they're in school and finding out 3 of their friends skipped so now they see me online

Having kids is listening intently to an audio version of AI 2027 in the shower and having it abruptly interrupted by the song "chicken wing chicken wing" bc y'all share an account.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Buy a gun and learn how to use it. If you cannot do this for whatever reason, connect with trusted people in your community who can. Your local @socialistra.bsky.social is an excellent place to start.

This is such a waste of time. We'd celebrate someone's death we felt was evil. You don't think ppl would be dancing in the street if trump died? We just abhor her sense of evil people. Just bc she said it like that doesn't really make "us" any more pious so this is just self-congratulatory

Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

block the path

This is insane, had to stop reading. This is why NSF and NIH exist? Also has the author heard of monopolies or are they just pretending lefties don't want to get into tech? Wildly irresponsible take.
