I lived in Taiwan last summer and things are very dense and it's amazing. There's also intentional green spaces. Giant parks. In both the places I lived, I was less than a km away from day markets and numerous food places. Bus stops are abundant and headways are short.

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

I don't think the antisemitic Christians who think Jews killed Jesus and that Jews need to be converted, forcibly if necessary, or killed when Jesus comes back, are that interested in fighting antisemitism. But who am I to judge.* *I'm a Jewish historian, that's who I am
