Every other week I have a slight anxiety mental crush where I internalize the fact that I will never be able to afford to buy a house in my lifetime.
Americans need to earn 70% more today than 6 years ago to afford a median-priced home comfortably.
The US housing market has reached its most unaffordable level in history.

This is such a bad idea. Idk why but it just screams gigantic OpSec risk to me. I can hear the cybersecurity training module lady’s voice saying “Why is this unsafe? Choose all answers that apply.”
Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."
He says the military has launched a new platform that "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

Ok while it’s abhorrent to have a phone conversation on speaker while on transit or a plane, it’s equally annoying to be talking so loud you’re practically yelling into the phone so we can hear your whole conversation anyways. Like, please stfu.

All three DC area airports are affected by these cuts stemming from REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS NOT DOING THEIR JOBS.
When you see them in the terminal, give them no peace. Because they’re the reason we’re all stuck.

I want to see Republican congresspeople stuck in airport terminals unable to board cancelled flights, surrounded by everyone else trying to fly who knows that *they’re* the reason why they cannot fly home.
I want them to have nowhere to run as they get chewed out in the airport.

“Geometry hates cars. If you multiply all of the journeys by the space cars occupy on the road by the amount of road you need by the distance that pushes people apart because you need to build more roads, you are in a Red Queen’s race you cannot win.”—@Cory Doctorow thewaroncars.org/2022/01/26/t...
"Simply put, the Geometry Problem is that cars are much bigger than humans. ... these physical differences mean that when we optimize places for cars, they end up not working well (or working at all) for any other mode. They become *car-only* places."

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.
It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.
Thank you, Governor!
