i finally went through my photos and archived all the ones of my ex. i should probably just delete them but the thought of it makes me sad. even if i hate her now, i was happy in those pictures. i dont want to forget those memories, even if they hurt now.
NYC nativists have to perform some really weird mental gymnastics. They clearly think it's immoral for anyone to move to NYC, but, wary of getting accused of xenophobia, they have to make weird carveouts for the "good" kind of transplant
@ChuongIsHere notice how the bike lane is blamed and not the literal lane of unused, free storage we give to drivers to park their 2 ton metal box for 95% of the day.
@jarjoh my home state has incredibly deep blue districts like NOLA, which went 87% for the democrat. we had Huey P. Long as governor, a man so popular & progressive he scared FDR into making the New Deal more radical than it was originally going to be. LA deserves more dem investment
Axios: Mamdani's bid for 2028 kingmaker
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani can't be president, so he's trying to be the next best thing: a progressive kingmaker for 2028.
Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for the White House, four people familiar with the talks told Axios.

@ThaCapm youre losing the plot of this conversation. i hate the democrat party for all the same reasons as you. thats not what we're talking about ! please learn to read holy shit
@ThaCapm so the only way ca yimby can actually support social housing is NOT by sponsoring legislation to enact social housing but by overthrowing the entire democratic party? youre so unserious
@ThaCapm what more could CA yimby have done to pass this bill? in 2022 they got it passed in the assembly and it failed in the senate. in 2023, a different version of it was passed by both and vetoed by newsom. they are currently trying to pass the 2022 version again this year.
@loomdoop@theseaofmooses also, ca yimby sponsored the first version of this bill in 2022 before a lot of the provisions were removed. if your claim is that yimbys dont like social housing, i dont think this is an example you want to talk about. they just continued to sponsor its later revisions too
@loomdoop@theseaofmooses show your work then. please point to where in AB 2053's text it somehow wasnt making social housing? it explicitly states that it would create a housing aithority that would be owned by the state and develop or acquire housing to rent / "sell" (99 year leases) to residents of CA
@maxdubler i agree that these people are pretty insufferable (this person in particular) but i like renting. i just got my water heater replaced in <24hrs after it broke and only had to send 1 email to get it done. i think people would be happy renting if it didnt cost so much
