I can't get over being rich enough that you own a 2nd luxary residence IN NEW YORK CITY and that residence is *WORTH MORE THAN $5M* and whining because the city you don't live in wants you to pay a reasonable tax of your super expensive home! Galloway is a moron who sucks.

So many neighborhoods in Chicago would *love* to be like Lincoln Square, but none of them are willing to do what is needed to be done

Daniel Kay Hertz@danielkayhertz.bsky.social · 3d ago

The 4700 block of Lincoln’s quasi pedestrianization (one lane of traffic, one direction, angled parking on one side, plaza at the intersection of the side street) is so wildly successful it’s weird the city never did it again

a lot of what the right does nowadays is create an emotional support system for bigots. bigotry will offend and alienate people in your life, so the right looks provides a counterweight that lavishes you with praise.

Baseball’s labor history is repeating itself once again:

This is especially true for journalism. There's a prevalent sense that the work is *important* therefore it sells itself. That is not the case at all.

Erika Hall@erikahall.bsky.social · 6d ago

The biggest myth about doing any sort of creative work for money is that the work is doing the work. So much of the work is promoting the work. It's a much different type of work.

Seeing how many respectable liberals, and even leftists, in New York media continued to speak warmly of Reihan Salam is what made me first realize that some journalists have no criteria for moral judgment other than whether someone is personally nice to them. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/n...

My hot take on data centers as someone who used to spend way too many hours at City Hall: People don't like them, but also they see them as beatable when so much shit feels like it's going to take generations to undo.
