The idea of needing to put up a sign that says Good Hebrew with Good Boy Opinions before you say anything about Jewish politics is rancid and basically pervasive at this point

Wow, El Diario has a big visual feature basically showing exactly this – the rental aspect of Spain’s housing crisis is largely a transfer of wealth from immigrants to individual older, wealthy-but-often-not-filthy-rich Spanish apartment owners, not corporations bsky.app/profile/eldi...

Marvel comics are usually about New York, but DC comics are about The City in a more general sense. The City as imagined by the early 20th century. The site of American life. And they're all supposed to be recognizable in some way while not being *specific*

Whoah this is fascinating. Local Law 97 required some city facilities to switch from gas fired HVAC to electric heat pumps -> all one system, run year round -> system with refrigerants trigger Fire Code 606.1.1 even if refrigerant part is inactive -> significant additional FDNY credentialed staffing

I didn’t expect the pope to have this much influence simply by being one of the last credible moral authorities. This is largely because I thought the whole systematic cover up of child abuse thing had ruined the church’s credibility for secular people as a moral authority.

this Pope quoted Gandalf in his first encyclical titled "Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence"
213. The twentieth-century Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien, in the words of a protagonist in one of his novels, described our responsibility in this way: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

With just 38 launches fully loaded with the new v3 sat, the Starlink constellation will have the same bandwidth as the entire terrestrial internet. Having all of that under the control of a fascist is pretty bad.

Hey you heard about this story coming out of Massachusetts? Apparently this group of self-selected individuals, who largely feel out of place in a world of great sorrow and despair - like, they're in this world, but not of it - formed a very intentional community as an example to the rest of the world, like a beacon that shines on a hill. And now they're tearing each other apart over seemingly inscrutable moral infractions! All this, in Massachusetts! Can you believe it?

this is kinda related to my point about industry and community relations, tho: ethanol gets purchase because it distributes the benefits to the landed gentry cartel in situ, and allies with other industries in a way that, at least so far, Big Data has fizzled at.
