I’ve experienced a lot of painful things on Twitter, but being accused of having a domestic violence restraining order against me when I in fact have a domestic violence restraining order against someone else was easily the worst. Something about it just hurts deeply to the soul
I mean that sincerely, it’s so sad and crushing and defeating I can’t even get mad. I just hurt.
I’m a very flawed person and I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I am constantly working and have worked to be better, but there’s something about a a prominent stranger accusing you of doing the thing that was in fact that worst thing that happened to you that just like…breaks you

respectfully, this is fearmongering. The developed country with the least “local government consultation” (NIMBY veto points) and “civil society input” (gifting opportunities for NIMBY lawsuits) is…Japan. The country with the most earthquake safe buildings on the planet?

Japan.
Turkey is a poor country plagued by corruption. The idea that “wow, impoverished country with corruption issues built a lot of shoddy buildings because of graft” somehow justifies 20 years long lawsuits against offshore wind farms is…nonsense
Our system, by creating endless opportunities for blocking things, *encourages* the sort of graft you saw in Turkey—when the rules for construction are straight forward and by-right, you remove the discretionary aspects that provide government officials opportunities for bribes

For a long time, if you ever so much as breathed a word about the fact that US transit projects cost quite literally ten times per mile what they do in Spain for an objectively worse product (surface vs subway), you’d get barraged by people scolding you for “attacking transit.”
Often people respond with “no one ever gets mad about FREEWAY COSTS, I guess you just HATE transit” and it’s like, no, man, we have insane cost disease for all infrastructure but I care more about waste in transit than in freeways because I want more transit and not more freeways
If we had built lots more high quality transit in California, so that a lot more people used and relied on transit a lot more often, the political fight to prevent the fiscal cliff for transit operating costs would be much, much easier!

The fundamental gender divide is that if I never had to go shopping in my life ever again, I would be extremely pleased while my girlfriend would fall into a crippling depression
Obviously not universal! Not everyone conforms to gender norms!!! (I find it very funny that my trans women friends all become massively more into Shopping after they transitioned tho)
I don’t think it is sexist to recognize that in modern American society, on average, women are more likely to enjoy the shopping experience than, on average, men are. That is probably far more socially constructed than it is biological, but I honestly have no idea 🤷‍♀️

Your country nuked its economy because it was so terrified of plumbers with last names ending with “ski.” Give me a break
Gotta say, “anti-immigrant xenophobia but feminist” is a new one. Kudos on the innovation

in periods of low demand and low inflation it is good for the government to spend more and tax less

in periods of high demand and high inflation it is good for the government to spend less and tax more
frankly, fiscal policy that eases inflation by cutting, say, wasteful biofuel subsidies or borderline fraudulent overcharging by defense contractors and raising taxes on the affluent is a lot better way to fight inflation than interest rate hikes that wreck housing production
there’s a defense contractor that overbilled the DoD as much as 3,800%(!!!) for equipment…seems like there’s room for some austerity there pogo.org/analysis/2022/…

It really feels like the whole windowless bedroom debate has become unmoored from two basic facts:

1) The only reason they’re being pitched is because it is very hard to convert dying downtown office space to housing
2) Windowless bedroom =\= Windowless apartment
This is only being proposed because there is a big public interest in converting office spaces to housing and it is just extremely expensive and difficult to do so, it’s not something people want to be widespread
This is an example…the office conversion on the right has a windowless bedroom, but it opens to a living room with windows—so if you want natural light, you can just leave your bedroom door open. Not ideal, but if people want office -> housing to happen, it can help in a pinch
