Killed. NSF’s SBE was killed, in violation of law. The President does not have the power to choose to kill programs at a whim by defunding them. The imperial presidency was a mistake and we are in a separation of powers constitutional crisis.

Incredible to see the "experts" on resolving the housing emergency that Spain is experiencing! On every television! @telediario_tve @ANoticias
@tele5_noticias @noticias_cuatro The reality is that we have politicians who try to create decrees and solutions when they lack the preparation or knowledge to devise a real solution to the problem we're facing.
Spain doesn't have a problem of a lack of decrees. It has a problem of a lack of housing.
And as long as the Government keeps confusing announcing measures with solving problems, we'll keep paying the consequences of its inaction.
Subsidizing demand without increasing supply pressures prices. Regulating a market more and more without building new housing doesn't eliminate scarcity: it manages it. Taxing a type of rental can change incentives, but it doesn't lay a single brick either.

Because housing doesn't get cheaper by distributing scarcity. It gets cheaper by ending it.
Spain needs to build. A lot.
More available land. Permits in months, not years. More density wherever possible. Legal certainty. Much more public housing and also private housing.
But the Government isn't doing what's necessary. It prefers to intervene on the few homes that exist rather than create the conditions for there to be many more. It prefers to present patches as solutions and load the cost of its failure onto owners, developers, and citizens.
The rest can serve to redistribute, protect certain groups, or change incentives. But let's not confuse that with solving the underlying problem.
You don't fix a lack of housing by better distributing the few homes that exist. You fix it by making many more exist.
Less propaganda. Less patches. Less obsession with intervening on the same apartment.
More supply. More construction. More homes.

Can you imagine the largest property owner in downtown Seattle (on an order of magnitude that doesn't actually exist) putting their holdings up for sale, and cancelling a major planned development at the same time, and having that not be seen as a reflection on city leadership?

This incredible gift of a $250M station being delivered 5 years ahead of schedule was matched up with a 10-year planning process where Seattle planners and politicians never upzoned the area around the station. Someday they may allow a few lots to be 5 stories. Thats about it.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Ozone(O3) is a product of sunlight and precursor molecule NO2, which mainly comes from vehicle exhaust. Cars make the most NO2 when they are accelerating. We could instantly lower urban NO2/O3 by lowering speed limits & accelerating more slowly. No magic, no cost. Just combustion chemistry

The cryosphere is in trouble due to climate change, and it's accelerating loss. "Glaciologists in the Alps considered 2% of ice lost in a single year to be 'extreme'. This year has seen an estimated 5.5% disappear."

Scientists say such rapid melting is no longer surprising given the pace of climate change.

I believe the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment in all circumstances but the absurd joke of "lethal injection" is even more cruel and unusual than the others. A violent fiction to fool bystanders into thinking that they are witnessing a humane execution. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

Christa Pike, who was convicted of murdering a classmate in 1995, was set to be executed by lethal injection. Officials had gone ahead with the execution after a temporary court-ordered pause.

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution

SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.
