San Diego rents fall 5.5%—proof that building housing works.
Add 6,000 apartments, prices drop.
This eases pressure on voucher programs, helps low-income renters, makes the city more accessible.
Want sustained affordability? Keep building.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social , it *was* Jared!
Pitchers and catchers and red-winged blackbirds report.
It's the best book I've ever read about psychopaths.
My first word (after "mama" and "dada") was "Cookie" and referred to anything fuzzy or furry like Cookie Monster.
Let's learn about the coquí frog 🐸 (Eleutherodactylus coqui), native to Puerto Rico where it is a beloved national symbol.
I want to focus on their call: two tones described as co- and -quí.
(SOUND ON) Take a listen 👂 & see if you spot the pattern.
Then I'll tell you something amazing about it.
i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"
The Super Bowl is my annual excuse to eat three different dips for dinner.
I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin edition).
I hope that's a bot.
one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.
Violence by the state against its own citizens is worse than violence between private entities/individuals.
She literally made a commercial about DHS that runs daily!

You can't stray far from the toilet, it's true. But I thought I'd be hangry and that the prep drink would taste terrible, and neither of things were my experience.
And get that colonoscopy! I promise, hand on my heart, that it's not a bad experience.
my emerging theory is that the political press literally does not believe in objective reality in any meaningful sense. there is only what A says and what B says and how that affects the horse race
People responding "but they don't need to do much because they'll make people afraid to vote" have literally not paid attention to what's happening in Minneapolis. The response of people is not to run and hide, it's "If you're going to kill me, I'm going to die standing up."
My downstairs neighbors are cooking bacon, and now I understand how my cat feels when I open a can of tuna.
It's a Bach kind of morning.
At the next press conference someone should ask him to lead everyone in prayer.
Screenshot from BBC News live text coverage of Trump press conference: 19:27 This news conference could go on for a very long time (byline: Gary O'Donoghue, Chief North America correspondent at the White House) This is the president in his most enigmatic and expansive mood. During the campaign this used to be called "the weave" – meandering from subject to subject, often the connections not immediately obvious.
going to use "at my most enigmatic and expansive" to describe the next time I have a few too many wines
Kavanaugh stops
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but do they have pilots in only one of the cockpits?
ORD ground traffic on the Flightradar24 map and the ORD airport panel showing climbing delays.
Delays are mounting at Chicago-O’Hare this morning after a pipe burst in the main air traffic control tower. ATC are working from other towers on the airfield for the time being. www.flightradar24.com/airport/ord
Do we think that Miller picked Minneapolis/St. Paul because he thought it would have a sympathetic white population or as punishment for being ground zero for the George Floyd protests? MAGA is heavily into the concept of retribution.

Tracking Bsky user activity during Bears-Rams: you can really see the exact moment that Caleb made the throw to take it to OT, and then there's another peak but idk what that is let's ignore that one
"What we are witnessing today in so many northern communities is a sort of quasi-liberalism which is based on the principle of looking sympathetically at all sides. It is a liberalism so bent on seeing all sides, that it fails to become committed to either side."
Don’t care what nobody says, we’re proud of our Chicago Bears 🐻⬇️
Good season, fellas.
