just going to keep hammering this home - if US politicians actually want more 3- and 4-bedroom homes in multifamily housing... single stair is how you do it.

the shaded units here are all 3-bedroom homes. good luck doing this in a double loaded corridor.

note they are all dual aspect as well

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

If you are still teaching students that the 3/5 clause counted the enslaved as "three-fifths of a person," time to update those lecture notes!

Not “Three-Fifths of a Person”: What the Three-Fifths Clause Meant at Ratification - Commonplace

The first memorable experience I had after moving to the DC area in 2015 was walking by the Supreme Court building and seeing the plaintiffs leaving Court after a day of arguments. Such beautiful families. Love is love. Glad to hear SCOTUS isn't undoing this important decision (for now).

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

The good news is that Trump is very unpopular and his actions are wildly unpopular but the bad news is that a lot of craven people were willing to go along with a lot of really bad stuff that will and has hurt a lot of people. Also a lot of billionaires proved themselves to be huge cowards.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc
