I was just thinking about this movie yesterday! Specifically that I watched it with my dad and when we saw a gay kiss he went “oh!” like it was a jump scare 🫠

I gave up on doing this because it was too stressful to choose only 10.

Grok completely misidentifying a clip from BIRD BOX (2018) as being from BELLFLOWER (2011) reminds me to revisit Bellflower. I still listen to Jonathan Keevil’s soundtrack.

I don’t love how overrepresented foster care is in horror, but I’m nevertheless excited to see whatever the Philippou Brothers bring.
Sally Hawkins is dragging her foster children into a stranger ritual in a new trailer for the Philippou Brothers' new film, BRING HER BACK.

Being a YIMBY means getting regularly accused of trying to complete the Bay Area’s transformation into a tech bro playground, but tbh a big part of the reason why I want more housing here is to RESIST creeping homogenization. I need rent to get cheaper so I can hang out with more weird artists.

Trickle down economics is about giving rich people money and hoping they share it.
An important difference between that and building expensive new homes to create vacancy at the bottom of the market is that trickle-down is bullshit that doesn't work, whereas filtering is a real, observable process.

Saying more as promised. I am feeling a mix of feelings, but “perplexed” is pretty accurate, maybe incredulous even. Perplexed at the lack of urgency, lack of outrage, and lack of community in housing advocacy. From the old timers I’ve met, I sense no interest, no excitement in growing the movement.
There’s something major happening in the L.A. housing policy world, and I’m rather perplexed at the lack of social media chatter about it.
I’ll say more after we see what happens today, but I’m doing my best to walk the walk myself by posting.

🚨TOMORROW: City Council will vote on where new affordable housing can be built. For too long, affordable housing has been restricted to the same multi-family areas.
We must allow more housing where there is the highest demand & least impact to vulnerable tenants.

I’m baffled by the lack of urgency among our elected representatives but also among the people. Everyone affected by the housing crisis should be demanding change.
I'm endlessly kind of baffled by the lack of urgency on housing California. This is the state's number one problem—a crisis so bad that's imperiling national Democratic ambitions. And all we can pass are heavily compromised bills that take effect in like five years, if ever.

It’s true that policy is to blame for empowering NIMBYs.
But an underappreciated contributing factor imo is our *culture* of nostalgia. Hewing to tradition is normalized and romanticized to the point that people aren’t embarrassed to designate a parking lot as “historic.”

A Bay Area food bank's expansion plans are being held up in court by an environmental review lawsuit alleging that the expansion will destroy an "historic parking lot." It's impossible to parody California. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Huge bummer that L.A. City Council voted to preserve exclusionary zoning today. The councilmembers who voted no are literally responsible for perpetuating the housing crisis.
Los Angeles officials are facing a fast-approaching deadline to rezone the city for more housing. Today, the city council rejected a plan that would have allowed new apartments in some areas zoned for single-family homes.

YIMBYs in L.A. (and everywhere) should be trying to get on the news. All. The. Time. We should be maintaining a constant drumbeat of YIMBY messaging on every platform we can access. We need to keep at it until the tides of public opinion change.
