"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..

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

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

Made it onto Goodreads’ Readers 14 Most Anticipated Books of July! www.goodreads.com/blog/show/29...

Author and former Daily
Show writer Kashana Cauley has one of the season's buzziest novels in play with The Payback, a darkly humorous revenge fantasy about one woman's stand against the predatory student loan industry. It's a heist story, basically, featuring the adventures of a debt-burdened trio of retail workers with a cunning plan to zero out their loans. Be sure to peek under the plot for some sharp observations on race, class, and terminal-stage capitalism.

“What does a human slowly going insane look like to a corporation?” Mr. Yudkowsky asked in an interview. “It looks like an additional monthly user.”

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.
