I don't think the solutions are inherently right-wing, I think the individuals pushing it are. Like we need more housing, sure. But if you create policy in a bubble and spend your free time saying people are a burden, communities get in the way, etc., then you're right-wing.

You could be working on better comms or showing up to community meetings and interacting with existing residents to convince them you're not an "evil dev". Not all YIMBYs fall into this of course. but they're never trying to prove it to the community in any meaningful way either.

If the motivation truly is housing affordability and helping people, why is that not the message instead of "everyone who pushes back is NIMBY and should be ignored"? Please read Dale Carnegie's book, for the sake of everyone involved.

Because no one "owned anyone" and because she personally didn't find value or understand (MattY taught her well) something, it's "bad programming". So...she's describing and ironically doing exactly what I said the problem was?

I love how whenever guys like MattY know they're wrong, they fall back to ask what you meant by a very clear question and play dumb. It's the same nothing defense because these guys don't want to talk to people. Even when they do, it's to "win" the interaction, never to learn.

Hasan: "What does it say for your credibility on foreign policy issues if you've got the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime, Iraq and Gaza, both wrong?" Yglesias: "I don't know that those were the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime..."

Also unrelated to this clip but can we please stop acting like MattY is a centrist? This is Facebook level Republican shit and is why I will continue to be highly critical of anyone who supports him.

People are losing the attention span to even watch 30 minute TV shows as short form video eats the world.

But the main reason I'll do this instead of Netflix is because there's not an ad to enlist in the army, DraftKings, or some AI bullshit every 10 minutes.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed that Kushner promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10 billion before ultimately placing at least $2 billion into accounts for him, according to a Vanity Fair excerpt from Princes and Thieves. The revelation lands as Kushner remains deeply involved in Iran war diplomacy, while Tehran has separately accused him and Steve Witkoff of pocketing $9 billion through market manipulation.

Neat. They took out a terrorist organization with a well placed explosive. They didn't just "bomb black neighborhoods" as you claimed.

I think it's very concerning that most video games made today are now either simulations of real jobs or games with worlds that are highly detailed (also with jobs) and take 300+ hours to experience everything. There's not a whole lot that falls in between anymore.

Btw, they're going to make you pay an hourly subscription to play a game where you simulate having a job: xitter.cf/Wario64/status/2112968…

The already limited attention we have is distracted by both extremes to normalize working "for fun" in your free time and/or to completely dissociate from reality. Both are fine in moderation, but the extremes are quickly becoming the norm thanks to AI slop and decompilation.

I also largely blame Fortnite for where we are as consumers in the video game industry and like 80% of society's problems.

We absolutely should combat antisemitism and make sure Pittsburgh's Jewish community feels safe, but this visit does not do either of those things.
