Courtyard urbanism is the only type of "dense walkable neighborhoods" that could possibly work in the U.S. That's because the courtyard mimics a fortress, closing off the common outdoor space to anyone who can't afford rent payments. But it doesn't go far enough. This picture…
on depin's future: we did an analysis of depin products in 2024, and came to a few realizations as we were underwriting from the credit position, which is the most conservative of all for reference, we've underwrote pretty much >20 different collateral types, from tesla battery…
Sentiment != Reality 1/ It's easy to say 'Depin is dying' (aforementioned rage bate) while many networks posting all-time-high metrics 2/ I'm sure @melt_dem and I would agree that DePIN token prices are down in-part due to poor revenue and tokenomics decisions by Founders. If…
Primer (2004) is the pure, unfiltered version of a time-travel film. No hand-holding, no explanations, just two guys breaking the timeline until it collapses on itself. Still one of the wildest debuts ever.
Movies that you didn't think were going to be good but then blew you out of the water.
If you are a small town or city suffering from a lack of growth and investment while having to fund the code and planning departments that scare young couples and investors away, this one simple trick is both legal and easy: create a set of pattern books of everything from villas…
Scandinavians are generally very good at creating pattern books and aesthetic guidelines for both urban and rural areas. Here is an example from Uppland, Sweden (PDF), it seems each county issues their own guidelines, there are dozens of these online. uppsala.se/globalassets/d…
If you want to understand the connection between the managerial state, post-modernism, and progressive ideology, I beg you to watch this short video. It will explain almost everything that is happening now politically in the first 30 seconds.
WHAT IS ‘THE DIFFEREND’? May have noticed if you’ve spent years wasting your time arguing with others online that often people’s priors and presuppositions are so different from your own that it makes it almost impossible to resolve disagreements (especially ideological…
It gets worse: Cea Weaver: - Says NYC should use public schools as “sites of resistance” - Calls on PTAs to act as part of “networks of defense” - Urges tenant associations to organize as “networks of defense”
Zohran Mamdani's Director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants, Cea Weaver: "We'll transition from treating property as an individual good to a collective good. Whites especially will be impacted."
Let’s skip that you did not experience any of these things that occurred decades before you were born. It still misses the broader point. Lynching was carried out for most of the country’s history against criminals. Only looking back at the early 20th century did it become a…
"you've never actually experienced it" the far right lynched black men for decades gay night clubs were burned down regularly in the 70s they electroshocked gay kids you called anyone left of Bill Clinton a communist America-hater he has to be on drugs. this is insane
A few months ago, I dug into Cea Weaver's Twitter history because she was Mamdani's housing advisor. I had a hunch she might get a position on his team. Well, she did, and she deleted her X account, accordingly. However, I took some screenshots. Let's dig in.

Dad buys stock at $250K. It grows to $12M. If he sells, he owes tax on an $11.75M gain. Instead, he puts it in a trust. Borrows against it. Borrowing is not income. So no tax. He lives on loans. Never sells. He dies holding the asset. Kids inherit at a $12M basis. IRS…
I used to think this was right-wing hyperbole 1. American citizens pay 40% tax 2. Politicians use these funds to attract immigrants and give them benefits. 3. Then they loosen voting rules. 4. Then they win, and the cycle repeats **5. If called out, they call you…
Let me get this straight 1. Somali immigrants get billions in taxpayer dollars for *free* for fraudulent daycares 2. in exchange, they fund democratic candidates with the free money 3. democratic politicians (Walz, Omar, etc) ensure fraudulent payments continue —- How is…
The majority of schools shootings are done by Black shooters. They don't garner the same media attention.
Going to mention it again, if you're non-technical and looking for higher pay and open to potentially doing additional schooling or certification training please look into Applied Intelligence and Supply Chain Management They are expected to 4X and 2X by 2030, secure your spot
You could buy an entire Chinese production line for making toilet paper. Put it in the Amish built barn out back. Make artisan toilet paper with a subscription delivery business where you drop off weekly shipments like a 19th century milkman. But you wont.
