Admittedly, it took me a few years.
But, “Narcos” is very good.

In Ellsworth, Maine a retail store must have 3.6 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet but a video rental store (remember those?) is allowed to just have 2.5 spaces per 1,000.

It's weird that the United States is deeply invested in the rhetoric and ideology of the free market but then universally uses incredibly prescription central planning to allocate the most important commodity.

You don’t have to be a Let-Er-Ripper to see that omicron’s effect is milder than previous strains, and yet we still have people making a desperate attempt to go viral by torturing the data with log scales.
Negativity bias is a helluva drug.

I feel like Twitter deplatforming the most deranged GOP politicians is a favor to Republicans.

compared to proimmigration voters–anti-immigration voters feel stronger about the issue and much more likely to consider it as both personally and nationally important; holds across virtually all observed countries, years, and alternative survey measures

The NIMBYs have lost the public debate, and their last refuge is stuff like this:

Someone said “NIMBY” is the “new N-word” and I would just like to say as someone who’s been called the original n-word, no the fuck it isn’t.

By *area* it looks like population is declining, but that's a misleading way of looking at it, just like the right-wing memes that show how much of "real America" votes Republican.
"Less-dense places that are getting even less dense" are massively visually overrepresented here.

It's wild how much of the US is actively undergoing population decline. https://t.co/KO6tdappA5

With Omicron, Covid is down from "20 times as deadly as the flu" to "3 times as deadly as the flu".
But it's as contagious as measles.

What turns people “YIMBY?” Every one of my children’s best friends have been forced out of the Bay Area (not to mention some of my own). https://t.co/6jgY27eTzY

@cafedujord And what turns people "YIMBY"? It's the lust for other people's property. (YIMBYS don't actually own backyards, they want to force people to build on them).
