€320k seems like a LOT for a 505sf home... Is this going to go down significantly with scale?
Luxembourg's Tiny House Lux was 3D-printed onsite in one week using cement and additives. The 505 sq ft home addresses housing shortages by utilizing narrow plots. Built for €320,000, it features solar panels, one bedroom, and underfloor heating on screw foundations.

Last night I wondered if the "evergreen" post implies the existence of a "nevergreen" post, a take that is useless from the moment it's published. Then I remembered that Bret Stephens, Ross Douthat, and David Brooks are all highly paid commentators.

I'm imagining the spaceships Mongols would have flown... Strong horse imagery, sleek, graceful, and fast.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

As a lawmaker, when you're beholden to corporate special interests, it's harder to put your constituents first and fight corruption.
That's why @pkryan.bsky.social and @deluzio.house.gov don't take any money from corporate PACs.

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that:
(1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year
(2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives
Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

This is Angel Falls in Venezuela, with its 807-metre sheer plunge - the tallest waterfall on our planet.
Except - it isn't. There's one that's bigger. MUCH bigger. And when I learned about it this week, my mind was fully blown.
OK. Buckle up! (Especially if you don't have a head for heights.)
