Apparently, if you can see a nun praying, you're left-brained, and if you can see a kitten frolicking, you're right-brained. What do you see in the mountain?

attending private schools as the child of college professors made me realize in my teens that almost every rich person doesn’t think they’re rich, just “upper middle class”.
magnificent contribution to the "is $400k/yr in new york rich?" discourse

btw you cannot solve homelessness or low-income tenants’ housing instability w/o fixing why middle class people keep being pushed into poor neighborhoods (lack of available middle income housing).

I think 220mph tracks shouldn’t flood when the Valley gets 1/4” of rain
Why are they making the whole high speed rail elevated instead of laying the tracks on the ground? . Guys, I think I figured out why they’re blowing through the budget.

friendly reminder the Left is staunchly pro-housing production in virtually every non-anglo country in the world.
as more and more left politicians like AOC endorse YIMBY policies, left-NIMBY criticism of pro-housing policies have devolved into self parody . this is just straight up nonsense

cars isolate and atomize us, they alienate us from our human, animal, and natural relatives; they turn us into irrational, selfish creatures - they have no place in a socialist society.
cars are inherently anti-socialist/anti-communist, you can’t be a socialist and support car culture, sorry I don’t make the rules 😌😌😌.

folks that means less cars.
Even in a 1.5°C scenario with the most extreme levels of CO₂ removal (green), CO₂ emissions decline ~90% at the time of net-zero CO₂ emissions. It is not possible to offset your way out of the climate problem: deep emission reductions are essential.

For people who claim to have a materialist analysis none of them ever seem to interrogate what material conditions are driving middle class workers into poorer neighborhoods (hint -it’s not development, that follows the first round of displacement).

@andraydomise from a socioreligious angle it also dismisses all the ways afro-diasporatic people subvert colonization in their daily lives, from Candomblé, Vodoun, & Santería to cuisine, language, music, & clothing, Black people in the America's exert agency against assimilation all the time.

As long as highly productive cities refuse to build housing for well paid professionals poor people will be displaced from their homes by people with more money (power) to outbid them, THE END.
