@NickyScatz@ohioberniefan Today is the start of the primary elections in Texas, too. So by appearing last night there would not have been any way for other candidates to request to appear on the show, hence the disparate treatment and potential for FCC violation.
Sure, but don’t take my point to be advocacy for historic preservation. Density ideally scales to the infrastructure that supports it, and as NYC figured out long ago, sunlight at street level matters.
The towers on Rainey are there because of the name brand of the entertainment district which popped up and developers cashing in on the name’s cachet. Walk down the street today and it’s immediately apparent how out of scale the new builds are in all respects to the street-level scene simply because of its narrow physical spacing as compared with something like Congress Avenue which is 2x the width — Rainey is a service alley by comparison. In the long run the mismatch will lead to the death of the street scene energy which attracted the crowds there to start with and then ultimately drag on the desirability and performance of the builds sited along it.
@jasonc_nc@prfctsweetie Density is destiny. But towers focusing that density on a two lane residential street is a little ‘special.’ Nothing beats the Rainey Street of the early 2010’s before PE moved in. RIP
🚨💬 Here’s another 3 minutes of audio from the South Side Patrol Insurrectionist Signal chat call.
During this call they:
➡️ Accidentally chase their own people thinking they’re ICE
➡️ Send 6 cars after someone
➡️ Assign patrols
➡️ Disclose tactics like “co-piloting”
He made similar comments last year a few weeks into the weakening, which were to the effect of “a strong dollar sounds nice but you don’t want it too strong too.” Context of the questioning was import costs and re-shoring. All meant to boost domestic manufacturing, fixed investment and employment.
@JustinShubow@USDOT@SecDuffy Congratulations! A much needed and worthy cause! Please consider Fort Worth, TX (🤠) as a case study - an incredible collection of old and new Art Deco and classic styles done the right way!
@TMTLongShort Amen. He knew the liability attached to the job and judged it worthwhile. No one talks about his childhood, but the man saw some stuff no parent ever wants to pass down. Can’t help but think he knows and wants better.
Timing is also interesting,given pending Supreme Court decision. Zero political cost involved with lobbing this new tariff policy out there and potentially helps buoy SC case that tariffs work as national security policy. If tariffs are revered, this comes off at no fault or cost to White House.
@sentdefender Low ball pricing, lol. Gotta leave room to negotiate. Even if they add a zero and make 57,000 overnight millionaires, that’s a screaming bargain barrel pricing of ~$107/acre (or 1/5 of $0.01 per square foot)!
Let’s go with something more basic and practical:
“As the U.S. military braces for a potential conflict with China in 2027, maritime defense and industry leaders alike are trying to get the most out of the existing fleet while planning for a more capable future fleet with a mix of manned and uncrewed platforms.
“The countdown clock in my office continues to tick away and it tells me when I walked in today that there are 716 days left until 1 January, 2027. There is no time to waste,” Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa M. Franchetti said this week at the Surface Navy Association’s annual symposium, referring to a year when Chinese President Xi Jinping has reportedly told his generals to be ready for war.”

47 million rental units in the US, of which 14 million are single-family rentals. If you define ‘institutional’ as owning 1,000+ homes, they are 3.4% of the 14 million. If your threshold for ‘institutional’ is 100+ homes, it’s 7.2% ownership of all single-family rentals.
With Greenland back in the news cycle, let’s not forget this (at the time surreal) imagery of Trump Force One with @DonaldJTrumpJr and @charliekirk11 landing in Nuuk, one year ago today:

Points on restricting and removing extra-hemispheric actors and US rivals/antagonists are spot on. Conclusions on oil are a complete whiff and miss given the commodity’s role in funding the regime & allowing it to persist, and its knock on effects at retarding Russian and Chinese ability to make war in the eastern hemisphere.
