It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

People are going to dunk on this, with good points. But NIMBYs have made housing prices out of control in many cities. Tech salaries are just transfers to SF landlords.

LOL, fave comment while I was sleeping has to be the person who replied to my posts about buying a new EV being concerned about me using "oil." Baby, it's an electric car, I have solar on my house, and soon I'll have a home battery system, too. I'm breaking up with oil, that's why I'm buying the car

Los Angeles engineered its housing crisis by prioritizing car storage over human shelter. Mandating parking minimums made affordable housing illegal and forced 130 km of suburban sprawl. This is exactly what happens when you build a city for cars instead of people.

In DC, universal free prek may have kept a number of ‘rich’ families in DC and stay in the public school system (for elementary) and not move to the suburbs. This is a good thing for both integration and a healthy tax base. We should do the same for all local things.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian.

this stretch of bike lane along the Mall is one of the biggest improvements for transportation in DC in the last few years. The federal government ripping it out (and the DC government seemingly doing nothing in response) is extremely foolish

Reminder, part of the problem is that DC now requires child care providers to have college degrees. This now makes it cheaper for richer families to hire good nannies and more expensive for everyone else.

It is funny for sure. The reason for the difference is that the closer analogy here is between Columbia's board and ABC's executives, who responded similarly. Kimmel is more like Columbia faculty who have resisted their bosses' capitulation. The recurring pattern is: management cowers, labor fights.
