Change is neither good nor bad, it just is.

After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game.

You LOVE to see it 🇯🇵

Shaquille O'Neal explains why he agreed with his ex-wife when she said she never loved him

“She didn't think she ever really loved me and my response was I wouldn't have loved me either”

“As a man I was failing. A man has three jobs with a woman. Protect, provide and love. At that point in my life, I failed her in all three areas”

“I was an asshole. I was an idiot. She was 1000% correct. I failed her as a husband, as a protector and as a provider”

“She's not my wife anymore but she gave me five beautiful children. I'll always protect her”

Yale fully reinstates its pre-pandemic SAT/ACT requirement in admissions.

“These test scores are strong predictors of a student’s future Yale academic performance, and there is evidence that they are less subject to bias than other elements of an application.”

This is the kind of slopulism that I hate.

Institutional investors are a MICRO slice of home purchases.

Actual affordable housing comes from letting developers build market demand, ending parking minimums, ending abuse of environmental laws via frivolous lawsuits, and more…

Complain about the rates if you want, but it makes very good sense for property tax to be a tax on the value of the property!

Basing it on purchase price would create all kinds of crazy incentives...people who bought a house 30 years ago would be paying property tax on a "$20,000 home" so the entire city budget would be funded by young people edging their way into their first home, which would be insane.

[Chris Fickes @fickdog]

@unusual_whales Can you really blame property taxes, or is it housing going up in price faster than wages

The story of peanut allergy is entering its final chapter.

Nowadays, we are beating back both peanut and other food allergies, and all it took was telling parents the right thing to do🧵

It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail.

Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online.

It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.
