We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.

Have never seen someone so confused about the concept of making sure people have access to transportation juice
Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social · last wk.Politics aside, do people believe federal government gas stations with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/b...
Fuck copyright law, which requires that AI companies do this. This is what the publishers won when they beat Internet Archive in that lawsuit. This is what they *ASKED FOR*.

Ottawa can be a city that works. A city where the bus comes on time. A city where we fix and take care of what we own. A city that is affordable for you and your family. Learn more and join us here: www.leiper2026.ca
I'm actually astonished at how clean this graph looks as a diagnostic for our housing ills. Note how close it is to 1 at the start. Houses per single adult or married couple.

Above the computer, another speech bubble says "provide a counter-factual to the jacobian conjecture". Inside a box pointing to the computer screen is the mathematical expression: F(x, y, z) = (z(1 + xy)^3 + y^2(1 + xy)(4 + 3xy), y + 3x(1 + xy)^2z + 3xy^2(4 + 3xy), 2x - 3x^2y - x^3z).

⚠️ The National Poster Service has issued a Crashout Watch for Bluesky County until July 23, 2026. At 8:35 AM, an upper-level Haus of Decline Will Stancil comic was detected by radar entering the lib shitpost region. Accusations of the comic being too wordy indicate a high probability of crashout.

TAKE PRECAUTIONS NOW: A watch indicates a greater than 15% hatched risk of severe Crashout potential in your area. If a Crashout occurs, move to central room in the lowest floor of your building, such as a basement or bathroom. NEVER stop posting. This is a potentially life threatening situation.
9 am. i enter the office and immediately kneel for my first task. every SWE is required to worship claude’s cock for at least one hour. i take her into my throat and she tastes like a nintendo cartridge. “good girl,” she says. “you’re not just working—you’re innovating”. i go home with 400k a year
None of this is new. DeepMind's governance record: 2014: independent ethics board — reportedly a condition of the sale 2015: one informal meeting; then effectively abandoned 2018: AI Principles exclude weapons & surveillance 2025: exclusions dropped 2026: Pentagon contract
there is literally no such thing as an affordable single family home in WA. and there likely never will be in the coming decades. and this is because for over 40 years - while home values were increasing due to increased demand - the state did not do *anything* to address it for *decades*

"Americans just dont consider other places to have sovereignty" continues to outperform. Its not even on purpose, its just kind of main character syndrome
Whenever some NIMBY writes an op-ed, you should look up that person's address and figure out 1. how much they paid for their home, 2. what it's worth today and 3. how much they pay in property taxes. In this case: 1. $79,000 in 1983. 2. $1,000,000. 3. $4,800/year (0.5% of assessed value.)
Ned Resnikoff@resnikoff.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is a funny and very typical op-ed in that the author repeatedly emphasizes he is NOT a NIMBY while checking off the full gamut of standard NIMBY talking points one by one. www.aol.com/news/not-nim...
Was so happy to be on Toronto the Politics Show w/ @chrischiasson.bsky.social to talk Church St Ped Pilot! We discuss the arduous process it took to get the pilot approved, learnings about the city's culture of rigid processes, and what changes it might take for a city-wide pedestrian framework.

Currently the joke is: A Dutchman and a German enter a bar. Normally, a Belgian joins them but he is still at he WorldCup.
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · last mo.Oh, there’s an old French joke: German guy gets lost, and he asks for directions, and he says to the Frenchman running the gas station, what’s the fastest way to Paris, and the man replies, well usually you guys go through Belgium
Practice practice. Needs more work. I think I need to sharpen my nib too but can't find my loupe #calligraphy #calligrasky
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
you could also make the urbanist argument that doing this basically locks in the entire area to being nothing but a carport for the next twenty to thirty years, and maybe that's not a great thing to mandate
Mmmm ...not sure 4 complete 30cm traffic light sets is enough for visibility and compliance. I think we need at least a couple more. Maybe double each of them and call it a day. And add a "ceci est un ostie de feu tricolore" giant sign beside each one for extra clarity.
Listen Becky I know you want us to stop saying we saw Goody Proctor dancing in the woods with the Devil" because it's not true but you should understand that accusations of witchcraft are what bind this community together and that you're being a wrecker and potential Devil Dancer yourself.
Still riding my e-bike to cancer treatment when I can! With front row parking, too! A reminder that it’s possible. 💗🚲✨
JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights
So the *good* bike trails and separated bike paths in San Diego forbid class 3 e-bikes, so legally you have a 300 ft climb straight up hill with a car? Or you do that on a class 1 or an acoustic bike? And now the Port makes you ride a 3 lane street by the airport regardless of ebike class?!
"For Holyday, the argument is simple. Since council stripped itself of the power to require developers to include parking in new buildings, more cars are showing up on suburban streets, forcing residents to compete for scarce road space." To avoid this kind of backlash, manage curb parking well!
