the diocese here gave up one of its church buildings to build 108 desperately needed apartments. wild to think that this kind of thing is being stonewalled elsewhere

GRIDS Vancouver@grids.reillywood.com · 2d agoReally remarkable article, the Anglican Church is going gloves off against multiple cities. $9M and 6 years of delay to build 85 units of below-market seniors housing on their own land
I almost never notice the labeler, but when someone is showing their whole ass on Bluesky, I check, and there’s always (still, after all this time!) a damn good chance they’re labeled Nov 24.

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 3d agoA senior officer in US Central Command’s (CENTCOM) intelligence branch emailed a broad group of military analysts seeking “new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran.” A second source indicated a similar request went out the prior week.

When I was growing up my dad only watched comedies and silly shit and I never understood why until my older brother was like "Dad saw some shit during the war and he was one of two guys in his group who survived, so" and boy if that didn't answer every question I had about my pops up until then
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 3d agoThese days I google the end of every single movie before I watch it to see if it’s sad because I just can’t handle that shit anymore. Happy endings only the real world is sad enough.

No one ever had to spend $175M on librarian misconduct settlements Not even when we drank that Dallas bar out of tequila
sara@saract.bsky.social · 3d agowe're on pace to spend something like 5x the total public library budget on misconduct settlements alone. do we think that number will go up or down with 1,000 more officers? you cannot propose this kind of stuff and be taken seriously as a "fiscally responsible" candidate
seriously, this one of those things where once you see it, you can never unsee it another thing that breaks your brain at first: burned-over areas can be the safest place around. nothing left to burn
Attracta Mooney@attractamooney.bsky.social · 2w agoOne of the weird thing about writing about wildfires and spending time with fire scientists and firefighters is you start to see fuel everywhere. That tall yellow grass by the wooden shed (which backs on to trees and a dried-out park) looks quite beautiful as its wafts in the breeze, but FIRE!
all the water bombers that show up in ADS-B as "Canadair CL-215/415" might be the best unintentional PR move this country has ever made 😅

On a larger scale but same concept it baffles me when people ask me “but what about the motorcycle’s resale value?” Or “but what about when you sell your apartment?” I exist to experience joy in this world, not to store items for future people to enjoy. Love your toys! Read your comics! Have fun!
