In 1991, David Lynch showed the world the alienation and innate horror of a dirty street, directing this unforgettable anti-littering ad for the City of New York.

RIP to a visionary filmmaker and a pioneer of the Trash Revolution.

One of three things -- a 40% price cut, 60% jump in wages or the return of 2% mortgage rate -- need to happen for housing to be affordable again. In the meantime, we visited Swing State cities to show how middle-class folks are squeezed.

A lawsuit by a coalition of Asian Americans and a conservative activist banned colleges from considering race in admission. Early data shows Black students were hurt most often, with no uniform gains for Asian Americans either.

Last Sunday, Venzuelans voted for president. Nicolas Maduro claimed a victory, while the opposition said they won. Except the opposition actually provided data — and lots of it — to back up their claim. 🎁 link https://t.co/OFa42NV4QH

Every year, a lottery determines who gets an H-1B visa to work in the US. The game, it turns out, is rigged.

Outsourcing and staffing firms are exploiting loopholes, crowding out US employers and immigrants who play it fair.

We have exclusive data to show it for the 1st time 🧵

@davidlook It might have been a subconscious decision but I also bought the same car as my favorite car chase of all time from Ronin, a 92 bmw 5 series. No trouble from the law though.

@LeonYin @daveyalba and I ran thousands of resume screening tests with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 and found that the tech will racially discriminate applicants based only on their name. Serious implications. 🧵 1/10

America now builds more 3-car garages than 1bdrm apartments.

Our nation has an average of 1,000 sqft of parking for each car vs. 800 sqft of housing per person.
