I am so shook by the Jaguars new general manager. He looks like a child. Or a kicker. This man runs an NFL team.

Liberals need to learn how to build things again. Liberalism is fundamentally tied to dynamism, and forever freezing our cities just prices out the next generation.

If we’re at odds with Canada and cozying up to Russia, what does America stand for?

I’m begging the @bostonglobe.com headline writers to please avoid using inaccurate and sensationalized headlines, like this one, that feed local misinformation and hysteria around zoning reform to unlock more housing.

Fantasizing about a Blue state governor telling him “keep it, we’ll figure it ourselves” when he threatens to withhold funding. This is about control for Trump and these governors can draw him into a fight and make him overplay his hand by dictating local politics.

I’d like to see Democrats frame this as top-down thinking from the Trump administration vs bottom-up localism

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

They should put an oblivious married guy on Love is Blind and not tell him the premise of the show. Just have him in the pod talking about his wife and kids. Telling everyone how much he loves them or whatever.

This is Gov Hochul’s opportunity to make a name for herself as the leader of the resistance. Tell him “thanks, but no thanks, we’re going to keep doing our own thing.” This is about control for Trump and she can draw him into a fight and make him overplay his hand by dictating local politics

We systematically hollowed out our cities, take Bridgeport:

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Trump describing his foreign policy plans after duping the most gullible people alive into thinking he was going to be a “peace president” youtu.be/64DCO2sI7fI?...

Thank you Lorne!

Not only does Taylor watch all of the Bravo Housewive shows but she listens to their podcasts too. I’ll never understand it #Bravo

Sending a man to Mars and redecorating the Rose Garden but young families still can’t afford childcare or a house. Call it what it is, Trump is acting like an out of touch elite.

Shocker lol

Life hack: Go to your local bike shop and buy a new or used bicycle. Put fenders, rack, and panniers on it. Ride it for every commute under five miles. Groceries, arends, everything. Keep at it.

In order to facilitate housing growth and infill development, South Bend offers 27 pre-approved housing plans, ranging from single-family homes to duplexes and six-plexes. They provide site and building plans and pre-approve housing within two days. More of this.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

Tariffs on construction materials, alongside mass deportations of construction labor, could wreck housing affordability in the next few years. State and local policymakers need to be pulling out all the stops to legalize affordable typologies, speed up permitting, and slash fees.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Always the victim

We used to be a Nation that aspired to build great places. To dream of the next iterations of our communities. To create cities that would become the envy of people across the World.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

I love @theonion.com

lol

Go Birds I guess

The goal is to make Brittany Mahomes cry, and then to decline a White House invitation. #eagles

Culture is built from the bottom up. I don’t need Musk and MAGA telling me what it means to be an American

THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!

omg Kincaid is gonna be sick

the bills start to this game

I am *begging* FOX to stop putting Gronk in a suit. let that big lummox wear a tank top and Zubaz as God intended

The Giants didn’t deserve him. I’m genuinely happy for Saquon.
