Havent been able to stop thinking about Mahmoud-9yrs old. Instead of playing video games, he needs his mom to scratch his nose. Today at the store, I see him on front page of NYT. “Poor boy” says the cashier.” “Israel is doing this with our weapons” I respond. “There’s something we can do about it.”

I’m pretty sure that if some CEO got fired from his job & on his way out he told a mob of crazies to show up with zip ties, flag poles and tasers and to bash in the windows & smear poop on the walls, that he wouldn’t get hired back a few years later, but what the hell do I know.

“I think the [winter fuel payment] means testing was too tight..to set it at pensioners who have annual income of less than £11,400 is too tight”
Martin Lewis says the winter fuel payment should have been extended to those pensioners with around “£20,000-25,000” annual income

Trump won by less than 2.5 million votes
Only 64% of voters turned out to vote
90 million adults didn’t vote

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.

This is a great example of how city-owned land (in this case, garages) can be used to build truly affordable housing - transfer land to nonproft, use state and local tax credits and subsidies - to meet climate and economic inclusion goals. #climatejustice

An Affordable Housing Project Faced a Huge Backlash. It Won Anyway.
A developer wanted to replace parking garages with affordable apartments in Manhattan, but some residents on the Upper West Side resisted. Here’s why the housing won.

HOAs and the whole concept of curb appeal are contributing significantly to the destruction of the environment and eradication of species.
The entire concept of a lawn originated as a flex of wealth "look at this land that I have and don't need to use to grow crops because I am not hungry."
