Extracting value on the front end of development (community benefits) instead of the back end (taxes) is eating the seed corn. It'll never produce as much community benefits as planting a good harvest and sowing it when it ripens.

For some reason, evetushnet.bsky.social feels comfortable showing her face on this app. She grifts for donations with an abusive celigaycy and conversion therapy ministry aimed at a captive audience of Catholic youth in parochial schools. She has ties to conversion therapists and people

David Eby's version of reconciliation is essentially saying "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way"
Watching David Eby’s sit down on GlobalBC and gobsmacked by how clearly he is speaking about reconciliation only being possible through partnerships on resource projects and not through the assertion of our inherent rights. The tactic and threat of economic reconciliation is at the forefront.

It shouldn't be so rare and noteworthy for a member of Congress to call out Trump's corrupt oligarch pals by name.
AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt."

Everything Trump says is a lie.
Donald didn't drop Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein dropped Trump.
They had a falling out over real estate. Epstein told Trump he was interested in a property. He showed it to Trump to get his opinion. Trump outbid Epstein for the property. Epstein was furious, and the special friendship was over.

In Vancouver we have a generation of planners who did good work stopping freeways, densifying downtown, and rebuilding industrial sites
…but they’ve been wholly silent about their role perpetuating exclusionary single family zoning amidst an extraordinary land value bubble.
This is “Vancouverism”

If the worst single-family house in your n’hood costs over $1 million, then your n’hood should be zoned for apartment buildings.

When discussing reforms like multiplex zoning, demand estimates rarely enter the discussion (except as a force to be countered).
@lausterna.bsky.social and I think that’s unfortunate and we run some simple estimates what it would look like to zone for the demand to live in an area.

What if zoning was responsive to underlying demand to live in an area? A simple model to estimate demand-based zoning in Vancouver.

one thing that is important to know is that BIRTH OF A NATION is so racist that people at the *time*, in 1915, were like, “holy shit this is racist”
When the slightest bit of research shows he was consistently racist and a daddy issues Confederate fanboy.
People try to paint BIRTH OF A NATION as a masterpiece with some unfortunate racism. The whole movie is racist, the “masterpiece “ thing was backfilled to excuse it.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government.
