the ramifications of building affordable housing on top of libraries is:
-more affordable housing
-renovated library
-all at reduced cost to taxpayers (as housing rents subsidize the library renovation)
it’s the most obvious win-win ever so of course these left-NIMBY weirdos oppose it

A reminder that this entire to-do started because Sky pointed out - with their relevant professional experience - that Venezuelan oil is Not Great and offers really no advantage over Canadian Tar Sands oil, and therefore, to the extent that this war *is* about oil, it's a dumb reason to go to war

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

What amazes me is how quickly people are losing either the confidence or the willingness to complete basic human tasks.

For much of the Earth-Romulan War, the Coalition thought the species that came to be known as the Remans *were* the Romulans.
Colloquially, MACO soldiers referred to them as “vampires.”

No focus group or market-chasing research was going to say “We should do a sandbox stealth action game like GTA or Hitman 2 where you play as a goose.”
Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

But look closely at that image. The illusion of completeness is itself a metaphor, regularly asserted throughout our history. So this is 2026, where we work to understand and communicate the tatters and the illusion as well as the ambition and promise. That's my patriotism. 5//

really bugs me when people post incoherent nonsense and then get all holier-than-though when people point out that it’s not actually true (you can buy an OMNY card with cash from a vending machine just like the old metrocards)

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.
Please be aware of possible scams! My client, Mel Curth, is not seeking any donations at this time. She is grateful for your support and instead requests folks that want to help to donate to the local organizations of your choice!
