"Inflation is very unpopular and the median voter's views on crime and immigration are closer to Trump's than Harris's" is like 90% more accurate than every narrative take out there that focuses on Rogan, trans rights, "the information environment", etc
Not just housing NIMBYism, degrowth pastoralist environmentalism generally, and there should be hard conversations about priorities here.
There's *some* value in preservation and it's easy to mobilize around it. But there are other environmental priorities!

Still thinking about this article. It’s always been a sore spot in YIMBY circles that so many progressive foundations pour money into NIMBYism, and I’m glad it’s finally being aired in public. Keep talking about it. www.insidephilanthropy.com/home/philant...

When business reporters list all the reasons why it's harder than usual to know where the economy is headed right now, they should be required to do it to the tune of We Didn't Start The Fire.

You can't make me read anything about Will Stancil OR The Sideways Looking Professor. It's a holiday weekend you should be getting drunk instead of looking at that.

Back in 2019 it was considered hot political commentary to look at anything that was cool or fun and call it left wing and now the trend is to call things "right coded" if they're cool or fun. It's idiotic dreck in either case

When Congress passes a law requiring the release of the Epstein files in 30 days, the FBI hires Lee and Carter to find the documents that mysteriously went missing months earlier. The only problem? Someone really doesn’t want them to find those files—and that someone just happens to be the president

The GDPR-induced cookie popup on every website is another reason the web is getting worse. Who is actually making informed choices about this stuff. At least let me set a default in the browser.
Many people on here got very good at using the reference system that is The Internet as a fact extension of their own brain. Taking that away is tough!

It’s like… the tweet is essentially saying Rowling corrected what was actually a sentimental misreading of Dickens who absolutely showed and meant to show the pain of poverty in an England recently coming to terms with the full scope of the industrial revolution… like… paging Harold Bloom I guess?

Trump is too old to be President but he is not on death's door. He plays some golf, he has an active social life, he doesn't drink or smoke, Fred Trump lived to the age of 94 in an era with worse nutrition and air quality.
The thing about Trump stories is that they always have that extra layer of stupidity that you’re not expecting. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Beige Book word counts: uncertainty continues to fall as focus on tariffs declines, while labor markets offer a very mixed picture. Hiring was mentioned near the most frequently on record but layoff mentions also accelerating; that latter indicator has worked as a recession indicator historically.

The tough part about NYC/NYS reformism is that you can turn over almost *any rock* and find some overpriced government service or even private sector service because an interest group has their hand in the kitty.

The city council setting up an establishment + conservative coalition seems not great.
see if this turns out but if Julie Menin is right that she's secured a supermajority on the Council for Speaker, it looks like nearly everyone outside the Progressive Caucus / everyone outside the "Commie Corridor" unified behind Menin www.crainsnewyork.com/politics-pol...
