@Otterarch Took the long form:

@atlanticesque Depends on the type of arena tho right? A baseball Field is filled far more often than a football field for example. Could also build them into malls or other commercial buildings to use under utilized space during the typical workday.

As a person who's focused on systems: The means end up being the ends.
A system that does X to get Y will almost always continue doing X, but often Y becomes optional.

What's stopping congress from instituting rule making bodies within/aside from the rule enforcement bodies that are under the executive?

Seems like congress should have more of a direct oversight on rule making technocrats than the executive much like the fed. reserve.

@NeolibwiII @RepealTCPA1947 While the prompt may be expression, the output definitively is not.

[Spencer @Spencer_PSA]

@NeolibwiII @RepealTCPA1947 I would think that it'd be covered under the principal of the first amendment, but there is still a long standing obscenity carveout that probably would apply here. Especially since things that are actually drawn have a much stronger argument of being that persons expression.

SB1431 seems like a straight forward bill tbh. All it does is make it so cities can't dictate style. Nothing about cutting building codes or safety.

[Arizona League @AzCities]

SB1431 eliminates local design standards that ensure the same quality across all housing types, allowing developers to use lower-quality materials and omit basic features. Tell your legislator to vote NO on SB1431 to protect safe, durable, quality construction for all Arizonans.

Way too many leftists take a victory and declare it a defeat. You should be celebrating this! you should be parading it out as a progressive win! That's how you build momentum and make change!

[Spencer @Spencer_PSA]

Republicans really can't fathom how divisive the candidates they've been putting up in AZ have been. They're nothing like the McCains, Flakes, or Doucy's that used to win here. They took people like Joe Arpaio and assumed that people wanted that in every office.

[Krissy Mack @KrissyMackShow]

@DeepNotShallow The quiet part out loud…except Arizona and Georgia are being investigated for hyper-election fraud…so what you’re saying is cheat, lie, then deny…

[Will 🌐 @NeolibwiII]

The DNC didn’t “generate” candidates, that’s what the primary is for. If you want a specific candidate in the general, then get involved in the primary process.

[Tempe YIMBY @YIMBYTempe]

Tempe has proposed an affordable housing density bonus, allowing developers to build denser and taller in exchange for renting a number of units to those making below a certain income.

We dive into the details in our latest article (link later in the thread).

[Tempe YIMBY @YIMBYTempe]

Reminder: there was nothing stopping Tempe from doing this.

Love losing access to my main account due to them wanting to "retire" the twitter domain for some fuckoff reason.

Why does my insurance pay ~$1000 a month for PrEP when it'd cost me $30 with a discount card?

There are some that have a idealized version of farming and would try to claim "But you need to eat!" But the majority of farming isn't efficiently used for food either. A great deal of it is used for ethenol, cotton, or animal feed.

[Theo Jaffee @theojaffee]

Grok 4, likely the largest publicly released model ever trained, required less water than a square mile of farmland uses in a year

"Exaggerated" doesn't even begin to describe how unfounded the AI water usage concerns are

[Spencer @Spencer_PSA]

@RonDeSantis But we are represented. We're overrepresented if anything

[Spencer @Spencer_PSA]

@urbanistvc Probably in part, due to risk. It's very risky to try to build a city from scratch. Especially to go from essentially 0 to 400k+ sounds damn near impossible.

I just want to make it so where I live will continue to change and evolve with the times.

Project Hail Mary works so well as an audiobook. Highly recommend. Do not wait for the film, Read/listen to it beforehand.

[Spencer @Spencer_PSA]

Doing a round trip to San Francisco in ~42 hours is an interesting experience. Not sure if I recommend.

If you have unmedicated ADHD I almost certainly _don't_ recommend it.
