who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

The only way you didn't go crazy from computer is if you know what really whips the llamas ass
Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

The idea that an instructor can and *should* be fired for daring to teach something not explicitly mentioned in course catalog is the pinnacle of the "students as customers" idiocy that's been steadily destroying American universities for decades now.

A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying “trigger warning: gender.”
In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.

One of the largest websites on earth, the biggest hub for political and journalistic communication, its owner has transformed into the largest global outlet for violent white supremacy and antisemitism to exist in human history.. and all those politicians and journalists just don’t talk about it.
Weird how there are multiple news stories about how Bluesky is kind of rude to centrists and almost no news stories about how Twitter is now so racist it would make a Klan rally blush.
Twitter has become a terminal cancer for our country, a neverending crisis pouring the worst kind of bigotry imaginable into the public mind, and no one will even talk about it. Most of our elites in journalism and politics still rely on it!

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
