Will is generally great but he makes a classic geography mistake here, one that has infected many experts on national issues:
Housing is a national problem, but its pricing is not national. While it's true that, nationally, most Americans are spending 30% of income on rent/mortgage ...

I absolutely am a YIMBY, but I believe in being honest about data even more than I believe in YIMBYism. There hasn’t been an acute increase in housing costs as a share of income! There just hasn’t. I don’t know what to tell you. I won’t lie about it just because everyone enjoys the false narrative.
Maybe I’m crazy but I would presume Will Stancil is fairly YIMBY pilled so these takes on housing affordability drive me fucking crazy. It’s a pretty serious problem if housing is unobtainable to most people in the metros where basically all our wealth creation is happening!

2025 and Slack still doesn't have an API to just let me look up the channel ID of a known channel by name. The "right way" to do it seems to be to list all channels and hope you don't get rate limited to hell?
I feel like they did this to annoy me personally.

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

People are roasting this lede, but NYM is actually correct to print it. Toilet paper is so scarce in prisons that it is sometimes used as a currency.
It shouldn't be restricted, for any person, but the fact that it isn't for her (and her alone) is a sign of extremely special treatment.

Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell is living it up in prison with unlimited toilet paper. Here’s what we know about her alleged special privileges at her new federal prison camp in Texas.

Is human preference towards emergent vs trained properties a form of anthropomorphization? The greatest thread in the history of forums,
with the vibe they like being a completely emergent property, i.e. no training to reinforce what vibe they should and should not like

The “Carter invented shutdowns” folklore isn’t true.
Prior to Carter, sometimes agencies largely stopped doing new work, sometimes they continued work — extremely illegally.
The Civiletti memo rightly acknowledged that most of that work was illegal & created a new method, also illegal, but less so

I love typewriter art so much
Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
