Anand is the best (and I'm doing an event with him at, yes, @cityartssf.bsky.social Thursday, for his new book Man in the Mirror). Couldn't agree more that cities are refuges or places of last resort for people kicked out of rural/suburban/pseudo-idyllic America.

I have this category in my mind of Genteel Mid-20th Century WASPs that includes Mr Rogers, Rawls, Auden, and CS Lewis, and I think they were trying to create or sustain this social and political sensibility that isn't really my favourite but which we're sorely missing now it's lost its status.

The people in Nebraska who clapped at the suggestion it would be a small price to pay if Iran were to bomb my city.

Disgusting piece of shit these morons voted for

Lovers of “America” who don’t mind if we die here in Los Angeles, because it lets their senile mascot murder foreign schoolgirls, too

He went on this “ai is bullshit” crusade and sabotaged the whole pr thing. All it means is that before he got leaked the financial documents demonstrating that ai finances are bullshit, he was leveraging his communication skills as best he could. Now he can work full time for the truth.

If you don't think this is going to affect you, your rent could go up, your mortgage could become unaffordable, the drug epidemic will rise, and scammers are going to have a field day nationwide.

The move will especially harm US renters and individuals vulnerable to scam operations. Anonymous property deals reach ordinary renters and buyers through price. Close to a third of US home sales are now all-cash, a record share by Redfin's count, and a buyer paying cash through a shell company beats a family that needs a mortgage every time. Nearly half of renters already spend more than 30 per cent of their income on housing, the line the government draws to call a household rent-burdened.

Investigators who trace shell company purchases keep finding towers of luxury flats bought as anonymous holdings and left dark. The FACT Coalition counted close to half the units empty in parts of Miami and roughly 40 per cent across stretches of Manhattan, homes bought to store money rather than to live in. Each empty unit is a home taken off the market and a high comparable sale that lifts the asking price on every flat around it, and the first-time buyer bidding against an unnamed cash offer is the one who loses. A New York Times investigation once called such holdings "safe deposit boxes in the sky".

US consumers reported losing $12.5 billion to scams in 2024, a record, and older people bore the worst of it. The Federal Trade Commission put reported losses among them at $2.4 billion and its estimate of the true figure far higher, since shame keeps many victims silent. Imposter scammers who empty a retiree's savings or 401(k) move the money through faceless accounts and shell companies within hours.

FinCEN's 2025 analysis of bank reports tied about $1.4 billion in suspicious transactions to fentanyl trafficking in a single year, much of it moved by Chinese laundering networks that wash cartel cash through trade and front companies before it returns to the traffickers. The drug those profits pay for kills tens of thousands of people in the US a year.

Transcript of a remarkable hearing cst.brightspotcdn.com/95/75/a403b7...

They redacted the grand jury transcripts when they submitted them to the judge. The judge was astounded

Those redactions concealed improper communications with the grand jury

They also concealed the dismissal of grand jurors unpersuaded by the prosecution’s arguments, apparently to prevent them from “contaminating” or convincing other jurors

The judge must therefore abandon the presumption of regularity normally granted officers of the court representing the government. The judge is much aggrieved.

I have been trying for months to save up the $37 to get a real Id so im not disenfranchised if they pass that voter id bill. I set it aside at the beginning of each month, but am forced every month to spend it on milk instead of that id by the end of the month.

You need better charts. It has always been a razor’s edge getting by on food stamps, but since 2018, the price of a gallon of milk has raised considerably more than the monthly food stamp allotment. It has me $30 further behind every month now.
