We’re not failing to eliminate homelessness because it’s too expensive, because it’s actually cheaper to house people than let them continue unhoused
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Mexico and Canada just gave a masterclass in handling Trump: let him brag, give him a face-saving win, and walk away having conceded nothing. The Big Picture unpacks how this strategy could keep him in check on the world stage.

The flagged words in the full list include "women" and "female," which makes it seem like this would encompass an *awful* lot of research?
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I'm curious, what is this building for? Do people work here? Does it house anyone that serves the people of the US? Seems like a waste if it's not housing anyone capable of doing anything.
