In 2023, Houston had 1644 housing units per square mile. Between 2005 and 2023, jersey city added close to 3k units per square mile

Jersey city doesnāt have the most absolute growth, but for dense cities managing to get a ton denser, itās really the best

If you looked at 2005-2023 housing stock growth in city limits, Jersey city is far and away the champ. To the extent Iām skeptical of growth advocates who donāt explicitly cite it

Honestly, that's not even as bad as "Find 5 plausible flights for the family." Looking at a list of flights with criteria you can select is a perfect in-browser task. This isn't something made easier by turning it into a conversation where you can't see options

Google assistant was semi-AI and has been doing automated reservation calls for 5+ years now. Like, this is something that was solved before the modern AIs were moving. Seems like some people just really love having more wrapped behind one ai assistant shell

I'd be happy to run candidates who are on average moderate in those states if they were polling way better than anyone else, but you don't need to be centrist and you don't need to be crazy to be popular. Having winning the seats with a D caucuser be the guiding light, not running a certain ideology

Actually using an occult nazi as a metaphor for the scientific types letting their brilliance be used for evil for a variety of reasons would be really good. Acting nazi-agnostic as SS-zombies sweep across russia

we have an insane form of government with this as essentially the only kind of priority that can get passed into law. Nobody would choose this as the way a government would work

The 80s books are just completely different books written by a completely different man. Not mad I read them, but everything meaningful I took from foundation was in the original trilogy

The people giving the tours are going to be the interns, so itāll be based on how comfortable they are being partisan and their read of the tour group. Theyāre definitely not going to want complaints to the office. In ~2019, the prep I got was Non-partisan, mostly about building history

I think especially in the continuing attacks on affirmative action->DEI you can see underneath it that conservatives still donāt actually believe that races are literally equal. They think itās just a temporary status under the law, not a description of true equality of man

100 percent agree there are parts that are hard to connect to real themes that make the actual themes a little murky, but the execution and clearly connected stuff is good enough that nitpicking makes me think instead of just making me angry

Bukele would clearly lie to validate this, and they can't even strategic enough to do that

everyone at nhs is going to be experimenting on ways to kill people with fentanyl more efficiently so they can pump the numbers up even higher

Also jedi are like batman where you can just throw them into any story and their schtick works. Who doesn't want space wizards with laser swords in every possible situation?

Star wars is something where no matter how much awful schlock comes out, the core of it will still give the chance that the next project is great

Pretty common working the phones in these offices to get these kind of repeat callers
I had someone tell me every day that the dem rep I was working for should stand up for life and vote to ban abortion.

Thereās pretty consistent hysteria over trans athletes who end up middle of the pack competitive, like mid major or even community college level. Especially the language around the volleyball player with opposing athletes saying they were scared to play someone they faced with no issue a year before

Seems like those are people rejected from going in. I think it's a real question if they have a system/ability to even identify people once they're in the camp. I don't think anyone is intended to ever get out

sack lunch feel like a movie that would be way more fun to go see than the english patient

I think the headline using "needs" kinda obscures the point. More like "Americans will choose more sprawl for their housing." Can't wait for the next crisis that brings/has already brought to some cities

I don't think any group is convincing Golden to support tariffs. It's his sincere belief. It's not like any group is having to convince Trump to use them

As a gator fan, he's actually a lot quicker than you'd expect. Just can't keep the quickness going long. I'm surprised he hasn't been given ozempic/similar for a season at least

"wherever you came from" would be an improvement on where some people are getting deported

I think it shows they lack belief in their own arguments. They canāt engage in objective analysis because they know at this point it will prove them wrong
comment in response to

I think even implying that this arrest could be ok if Trump "articulates charges or facts" now several day later really shows a level of faith in trump and lack of faith in khalil that feels pretty gross. This was wrong no matter what they articulate now

If neither of them were willing to vote against laken riley based on the fact it was awful policy that wouldn't make anyone safer and wasn't part of any real negotiation, I don't know if they'll hold the line going forward. Need a clear public opinion shift against trump to lead them there imo

Thatās not even whatās really going through his head. Itās more like āModerates will make my substack the most read news source in the White House and progressives point out that Iām a lazy hack, so letās get people supporting moderatesā

I'd love to see district/state level polling on the effect being pro-tariff has. I read golden as actually preferring tariffs, but also it doesn't seem like it matters much in his current position. Not really a house issue now
comment in response to

I think he just sincerely believes in tariffs
comment in response to

Yeah, a core belief for me is that on the variety of reasonable intelligence measures, disparities across race/country/gender indicate problems with the test or society, not differences in aptitude. Even though itās lost at this point, I still support affirmative action because of this

You could reconfigure law reviews in academia, but there'd be nothing to stop the federalist society or any other group making up some new journal to let these people pump slop into. There will always be ways to launder bad arguments

I don't think anyone can even really predict how to do it successfully. That's why I'm just gonna keep banging the gong of "popular dems in competitive races, no matter their positioning" and hope that moderation doesn't become a cargo cult
comment in response to
post
Then broader question is if dems can change positioning in ways that make them more popular with electorate overall to decrease how much overperformance is needed. But that's a much harder rudder to push, and still can get swamped by leader positions and thermostatic effects

The real question is when the idea is actually useful. In house/senate primaries in competitive seats with limited polling and first time candidates, sure this heuristic is helpful. But in pres/heavy polling/repeat races, you can look at how individual candidates poll/perform

It seems so far under Johnson in the battle between his inability to count/lead and the spinelessness of house Rs, the spinelessness has told the story more often. Hopefully not the case here, but I donāt believe in backbones until votes close

āModerateā voters have an incoherent set of extreme and moderate views, so it seems like being incoherently extreme codes to them as more moderate than being consistently center left or right

Seems like voters saw Obama as clearly less moderate
