@jmhorp The article mentions exactly this a few paragraphs later, if you actually read it before posting.

@chamath It’s actually because the tweet was written by an LLM, which penalizes repeat word use.

@Noahpinion If you give them the full benefit of the doubt, the (surface level) argument is about the Somali culture, not the people.

While maybe the unspoken argument is just racism, I think the good faith interpretation would allow for a trickle of assimilating immigrants.

hey guys please address the cost of housing I don’t want communism thanks

@ArthurMacwaters I thought California voters approved the three strikes law. Whatever happened to that.

Abundance done right is building housing, bringing back American manufacturing and creating jobs

Everything else is NIMBY anti-people anti-jobs BS that weakens California and America

Everyone should thank @Scott_Wiener for pouring nearly a decade of his life tirelessly fighting in the legislature for this landmark bill to finally be passed. Current and future Californians appreciate and thank you.

HUGE NEWS!! YIMBY’S REJOICE !!

California is making historic strides today as @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom signs #SB79 — streamlining the building of more housing all across the Golden State.

No, it does not supersede local control as some have falsely claimed. No, it is not one-size fits all. And no, this is not some “land-grab” by the state.

This action sets the state up for success in addressing the affordability and building crisis happening right now!

The best way to fight this would be Special Economic Zones within the United States.

Locate them next to shipping hubs with access to talent and capital. Use Federal Land.

Alameda has ~600 empty acres that's Federal, lots more that's designated for industrial.

I try to stay in my San Jose lane, but as a former East Side public school teacher I have to say — this is a terrible disservice to our students. Lowering standards does not help children. It hurts them.

Last year, 60% of Oaklanders voted to recall Mayor Sheng Thao. We now know she was not only incompetent but also corrupt.

Let's turn the page and show the world that Oakland can be an inspiring story of good governance and competent leadership.

Empower Oakland is endorsing Loren Taylor.

I have gotten to know Loren and believe he is incredibly high integrity. He also happens to be the only candidate who is willing to make the hard decisions to get Oakland back on track.

For more information, check out our newsletter and donate to Loren’s campaign (links below)

I just published a new essay, and since the algorithm prefers links in replies, I dutifully put it in a thread about why I wrote it. But a lot of people didn't notice the link, so screw that:

Mdest proposal: All Luigi fans and stans should band together and create or purchase their own health insurance provider.

If the problem is really United Healthcare, they can save countless lives. If the 2% profit UH makes is really so obscene, surely all Americans will be thrilled to switch to a new more-efficient provider that doesn't deny any claims! I haven't figured out how that will work given that the the ACA/Obamacare specifically prohibits charging enough to make such a thing possible, but that is just a minor detail. It isn't like the supply side could be the problem, and certainly not government regulation and crony credentialism.

No, surely a new CEO can solve our health insurance woes and make a better product that everyone prefers by acting as a conduit for the brilliant ideas of murderous social media commenters.

@thephysicsgirl Hollow Knight is a must. A Metroidvania like Ori, with really compelling combat and art. An incredibly immersive world.

Longshoremen Union about to cripple USA economy in a strike, and Canada and Mexico win, and Biden Administration has power to stop it, but are beholden to union extortion. They want to ban automation at ports, which kind of proves the point that we should automate.

@ayeejuju This is when it became clear Trump should drop out.

Unfortunately, like Happy Days, he will probably stay around for 6 more seasons.

MIT released demographic data for its newest class, the first one where they weren't allowed to consider race in admissions because of the supreme court decision.

In summary:
- white enrollment stayed flat
- URM enrollment fell
- Asians took all of the freed spots
