North American cultural hangups around tall buildings force us to accept low rise urban neighborhoods with fewer trees and less green space.

There is a better way to build, and all we have to do is legalize it!
imagine if seattle's comprehensive plan leaned into perimeter blocks of low and midrise point access blocks...

enabling more family-sized homes. more affordable homes. more livable homes. more room for trees. more room for community and climate adaptation.

instead we get these on the right.

When longtime homeowners stand up at a community meeting about proposed zoning changes and say “we should not allow apartments in this neighborhood because it will hurt my property values,” they are colluding to jack up rents by creating artificial housing scarcity.

What if TikTok was open source ? Is the brand more powerful than the code ? Would Chinese company ClikClok just spin up in its void if banned ?

Clutter! “What does this toy want? Where would it be happiest, most fulfilled? Is it happy at the bottom of a pile, not being used, collecting dust?” Love this! No, no it isn't! apple.news/Aj91RzktYS3G...

I say this is a Trump biographer: there is no purpose in interviewing this man.

He is going to say whatever lie he thinks is most advantageous to him at the moment based on the audience and the day of the week and the news context.

The only things newsworthy and worth reporting on are his actions.

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
Unite. Fight. Win.

Thinking about #federation between #Bluesky and #Threads. If you‘re on both too, maybe give this post a little boost to put it on their agenda. 🫶 www.threads.net/@jensscherbl...

Classic Thanksgiving. Did a trot. Ran over an @evilmopacatx.bsky.social flyway. And cooked Turkey two ways. Classic roasted bird. And a bonus instant pot pressure cooker breast. Plus my daughter did a Tick Tok trending Mac and cheese that was very very cheesy.

This would kick ass.

If Bluesky and Threads got together and implemented a simple, open, easy way to allow accounts to be in both places.

It's still really early.

Do something for the users and developers.

Let us love both your products.

And explore lots of new ideas.

Without being pwned. 😀
