Let’s go back to the original tweet and really identify what is at stake.

On the left, you have a bottom-up system where neighborhoods are shaped by many hands, a co-creative process resulting in evolution over time. It can be messy, but also adaptive and strong.

On the right, you have a top-down system where neighborhoods are radically transformed based on the priorities of distant policymakers and corporations. It can feel orderly, but it resists change and is ultimately fragile.

If you don’t want to be told how to live, you need to choose the approach on the left.

If you want to decide for yourself the kind of place you live in, you need to choose the approach on the left.

The approach on the left is a @strongtowns approach.

Don’t be hard on yourself if you are just waking up to this reality. Most people don’t question the world around them -- it’s all we’ve ever known, after all -- even though the North American development pattern is the largest social experiment even undertaken. We reshaped an entire continent in a generation around new and untested theories. We live in that experiment. It’s not natural.

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

This quote from the piece confirms why HBO Max SO MANY animated series from streaming. It’s directly to save on paying residual to the people who made it. More evil than I’d first assumed, this is what happens when a cheap reality show network buys WB https://t.co/3Gy2aptyL0

Two antennas got married.

The wedding was ok.

But the reception was incredible.

It’s better to never get COVID than to get it once. It’s better to get COVID once than to get it twice. It’s better to get COVID twice than to get it three times. And so forth. Try to reduce the odds of getting infected. Pass it on.

This has been said before, but is worth saying again:
The people who say Trump is guilty have testified under oath.
The people who say Trump is not guilty have refused to testify under oath.

Price for a barrel of oil today: $117.59
Price for a barrel of oil in 2014: $120.45

So why are gas prices 2 dollars higher per gallon today than they were in 2014?

Because Big Oil corporations are hiking prices to rake in record-setting profits.
