I’d be more comfortable with a city council leader of an overwhelmingly Democratic-voting city that wasn’t endorsed by every Republican!
Seems very solid. All the Republicans, the moderates and even some progressives seem to be supporting her.
Of course the vote isn’t until Jan. 7 so there’s still the potential for people to be peeled off. But it seems like she’ll be the next City Council speaker.

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

the idea of a neighborhood character is every bit as reactionary as the idea of a national character, and is motivated by the same thing: "I deserve to be here and others don't"
Great piece on how density restrictions in zoning are essentially BS.

I think this is mostly San Francisco finally shrugging off the pandemic, but it is *really* funny that rent prices in San Francisco shot up *immediately* after the city banned RealPage and other algorithmic price setting software.

A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors
As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...
