I'm mad at all the supposed self-taught experts on the Internet making us genuine self-taught experts look bad.

@Ryans_Ramblings @CultureCrave @THR Gotta love the nonsensical scrambling of San Francisco landmarks. Somebody left Sutro Tower in a hot car and it melted I guess.

@SisyphusRedemed @emilykmay This really is an excellent thread.

@GroundedTheGame The Conan reference in the 1.3 patch notes made my day!

@IDoTheThinking These people think their opinions on housing are worth a damn.

[Morgan Foust @morgan_foust]

@Edokwin @zbowling A lot of people on Twitter wildly strawman YIMBYs. It's basically a divide between people who think that blocking new housing somehow makes housing cheaper vs people who know that it doesn't.

@danamy_teas @sashaperigo That's Rafael Mandelman, who routinely opposes housing projects and frequently butts heads with CA-YIMBY.

@jdcmedlock @__aston__ If we need a log scale to visualize wealth accumulation, then we might have a teensy problem with wealth inequality.

@MidwestDeplore @unseenhorizons @AlexYablon @pastichepsyop M. Nolan Gray and Darrell Owens (of CA-YIMBY) spoke out in favor of Jordan Court, the first low-income housing built in Berkeley in decades. Jordan Court was only possible because of the passage of (YIMBY-supported) SB35.

@MidwestDeplore @unseenhorizons @AlexYablon @pastichepsyop YIMBYTown conferences include people like the founder of A Better Cambridge, which supports the 100% AH overlay; Tram Hoang who advocates for rent stabilization in Minneapolis/St. Paul; Tiffany McCoy who cowrote Seattle's I-135 public housing initiative.

@crimsonemberbee This. It also doesn't help that physicians & hospitals are under economic pressure to rush patients through, which can leave people feeling dehumanized. Not to mention the sexism and racism still embedded in medical practice.

He also argued in the same essay that most of his conservative peers rationalize post-hoc arguments to justify their instinctive biases. (This essay has the wild title, "Why Do I Hate Pronouns More Than Genocide?")

Richard Hanania (right wing bullshitter) is trending on social media. I remember a year ago when he admitted that he rejects moral arguments for trans rights because he just plain doesn't like gender-nonconforming people.

@RetroBitGaming @cucholix I'm hoping the dual analog Saturn controller is one of those cool products! That's by far my most anticipated release from y'all.

@mold_time This reminds me of the 2021 (800-page!) multiple chemical sensitivity paper commissioned by the govt of Quebec. TLDR: Multiple chemical sensitivity is almost certainly a conditioned anxiety response, where the sufferer associates certain smells with danger. (1/2)
