"In the states examined in this analysis, a drop of approximately 20% in inflation-adjusted rents—as happened in Austin, Texas, and Minneapolis after those cities made reforms—could reduce poverty by 18% to 26% and child poverty by 21% to 38%." www.pew.org/en/research-...

I will never get over the absurd arguments people made regarding aesthetics and neighbourhoods to oppose the REM de l’Est. And how cancelling it did not bring about some hypothetical better project. The east end is languishing in long commutes and uncertainty more than four years later.

So-called “inclusionary zoning,” the practice of requiring home builders to rent new apartments at a loss to low-income tenants, is a tax on new housing that worsens the housing shortage and raises rents overall in exchange for a handful of means-tested units. It’s bad policy!

If DOJ can extract $8.5m from Langone under bogus False Claims Act assertions relating to gender affirming care then I expect the next Dem admin to extract nothing less than $850 billion from GOP slush fund vendors like Palantir and SpaceX.

Bottom line: We need better messaging, but we can't message our way out of this. We need a political system that incentivizes elites to support the democratic process and penalizes those who seek to undermine it.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

another way to put it is that the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act are no longer permitted to enforce the 14th Amendment. they are banned by the "14th Amendment." the Civil Rights Era is dead, its accomplishments annihilated.

if centrists didn't want to be put in a situation where the democrats have to reform the electoral system and judiciary within the first two years of the next president's term, perhaps they should have done it when it wasn't an emergency. if we do not do it, we will die under worse than Jim Crow.

Some former colleagues of mine did this, and then discovered they had forgotten to enquire about the seal's holiday plans.

When the elephant seal was tagged on Signy Island, it was hoped that this animal would range deeply into the ice-covered Weddell Sea in winter, thereby providing data from a region inaccessible to ships and from which very few hydrographic measurements have been collected. Unfortunately, the specific elephant seal that was tagged (Fig. 2) was not quite the enthusiastic adventurer that we had hoped for, choosing instead to spend the following months very close to the South Orkneys, and venturing only briefly beyond the shelf slope adjacent to these islands. This behaviour seems to

A very fat and happy seal with a transmitter on its head, "not the intrepid adventurer that we had hoped for"

The legend Robin Lopez

Tweet from Robin Lopez that reads: Biggest issue: if you’re being drafted, people are saying “we want you around for 4 years” & I can’t imagine anybody wants Enes Kanter or Royce White around them for even 4 minutes. We’ve seen this illustrated whenever Enes is near Turkey or Royce comes close to logic/reality

Robin Lopez responding to Royce white. White says: lol join the club ROBIN … I’ll slap your big goofy ass, bitch slap you like pootie tang! I will fight over these trans rights.

Lopez responds: yes we get it you love slapping people with women’s names

Pressure to sack rate is my favorite way to evaluate a QB's ability to avoid sacks. How frequently is he under pressure... and how frequently is that pressure leading to a sack? Sack rate alone doesn't account for the frequency part.
