Is this the 17th century version of the Two Guys on a Bus meme?

Some neighborhood retail is designed to absorb Snap dollars, other neighborhood retail soaks up HSA and/or insurance dollars

Whatever the merits of Foundry Park, it's interesting that they're promoting it with this pen-and-ink style that feels very retro and much more approachable than the usual glossy renders (via: chicagoyimby.com/2025/12/foun...)

I try not to post much, trying to ween off social media, but "typographic revival after lead type was melted down for the war effort" absolutely rules as a concept

Come for the unsettling antisemetic comment, stay for the hilarious attempt to deny ownership of an insta account where the avatar is your home address and a bunch of norse runes

All else besides, this is offensive the world-conquering spirit of Tamerlane

In a weird coincidence, the folks trying to do regime change in Iran are banning the son of one of the people who did regime change in Iran (1979), who is herself the child of the shah booted in the previous regime change in Iran (1925)

“The world’s silence in the face of this aggression, under the pretext of the recklessness and tyranny of the Iranian regime, will only magnify the dimensions of the disaster.”

It’s so wild to see Reds forum in-jokes go moderately viral 15 years later.

On topic for this week, as a kid we saw Mike Love at Johnny Rockets. My sister asked (guilelessly) if he could introduce us to Brian Wilson

Selfish considerations must be forgotten, partisan differences must be cast aside, all of us must put the common good before all else. The park is cool, too

Was thinking about this, and gender, earlier today. Tariffs as a protest against Temu sludge/"women be shopping" generally

Asher Kohn @ajkhn.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Kinda wild that the same dudes who go “the Democratic party is a bunch of out-of-touch elites” follow up with “if I was to protest, I would simply do it better than the huge number of folks out there protesting.”

Asher Kohn @ajkhn.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

griping about folks waving the Mexican flag is dumb, because DHS isn't going to post photos of people waving US flags at protest. But reverse polarization means this ends with my mom wearing a Chucky Lozano jersey rooting for El Tri, so sure, let's do it

I feel like there should be a good, readable, book on why the "cute walkable downtown" is so tough. There's also just an astronomically high failure rate for retail/restaurants. Even if you want to be a good landlord, you run the risk of dealing with the salmonella deli.

True, the people are the city

This was great, i left it thinking “these people read about the golden calf and decided to build the golden calf”

Lots of people talking about how good they are with maps, but I’ll tell you that once I was trying to find W Street in DC because I was holding the map upside-down

It’s a silly pop map, but turkey and the balkans is “sad & wet” not sexy

I guess the admin thinks international students will just take the same undocumented pathway to the US as other folks, to become another type of contingent workforce? I don't think education functions like a chicken separating plant, but it's pretty clear they want it to go that way.

There is a Steve Earle rennaissance happening, and I am asking one marketer to listen to the lyrics (besides the folks doing Andor)

A tv show paced like Queer Eye but in the “home renovation” mode, where European transit and mulitfamily builders go into US cities, would rule and imho do numbers

The entire internet is going to be like trying to find illegal streaming of European soccer

I personally would put my brain towards caring for my wife and kid, not blowing smoke about technology

Genuinely, same for any sort of consulting/professional services work.

Kinda curious why there hasn't yet been a good analysis of New Jersey: The Blue State That Wants Housing (maybe it's too soon? Idk)
