Subsidized housing in Seattle is more than 10% vacant, with rents often near market. And Seattle isn’t alone. We need to focus on making the market work for the top ~80% and focus subsidy at the very bottom, subsidized housing for all is a failed strategy. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

All fringe groups with a point to prove have basically the same dynamics and people leaving cults virtually always describe the same things no matter the supposed ideology.

'democrats are obliged to govern but republicans get a pass' is bizarrely the mentality of both establishment institutions and a lot of leftist posting.

It's telling that he doesn't just... try to promote a book by a Palestinian author, or even mention one. You see, a Democrat has failed to do something that... he himself could be doing—the greatest crime.

Barack Obama owes you book-based penance? Get a grip. You couldn't even be bothered to read his reading lists, do you think that he owes you the recommendation of a specific author from a specific background? Loony booger.

I don't read books because I feel guilty about stuff. That's not my fucking job. Show up with a good book and I'll give it a whirl, and until then, suck it.

This is not a random person online, but the author of "Mornings in Jenin," the most widely-read Palestinian novel of all time. This person doesn't want liberation for all, but an exclusionary ethnonationalism of the other side, the flip side of Ben-Gvir or Smotrich.

Maharet is one of the absolute oldest vampires (made within a year of the original vampire) and Mael is about two thousand years old, which still puts him among the eldest.

I think you CAN continue to engage with children's entertainment but once you're an adult it should not be the bulk of your consumption. Family friendly could still be robust enough for a majority of people, I think, or certainly to be a preponderance of consumption if one so chose without an issue.
Cai (@annenotation.bsky.social) reply parent
This extends to other things! The zoo is family friendly. Landscape gardens are family friendly. The Speak-n-Spell is for children but, you know, go for it
Cai (@annenotation.bsky.social)
I think we need to be better at distinguishing "for children" and "family friendly". These are two very different concepts. Family friendly works are at least meaningfully accessible to children, whereas children's entertainment is *for* children and may or may not have value for adults.

IMO what we keep seeing is people just in a depressive funk re: spending; they now see constant price hikes as inevitable and though they hate them they're weirdly resistant to changing their behavior about it.

i’m a diehard in terms of “shit that masks plates should be illegal and prosecuted via vehicle confiscation”. you don’t get to hide from legal action that way, and there’s no valid reason why you’d ever need to have disguised plates other than to commit crimes

There was a classic case of this on an old forum and once the guy posted pictures of their home the tone changed immediately; luckily he and his wife actually did internalize the feedback and got the kids back (who were reported for unrelated but serious reasons).
