This is the funniest shit. Ever since @Scott_Wiener's SB 828 become law which increased the housing requirements for CA cities far more than previous years, NIMBYs have alleged it was artificially inflated and demanded an audit. State auditor says the numbers weren't high enough

The media and Twitter/Facebook reactions to the hunter biden laptop story is the most blatant example of partisan bias by these institutions I can remember. bariweiss.substack.com/p/tgif-disinfo…

One of Russian military helicopters shot down over Ukraine was photographed before carrying a “to Berlin” slogan, clearly revealing Russians’ idea they are in fight against Germany as well. So much about “but please do not provoke Russia” and “it is only Putin”. From @artursorin

“It’s like YIMBYs want New Yorkers to ignore the last fifty years” The last 50 years:

Molly Crabapple🇵🇷 @mollycrabapple

The thing I don't understand about NYC YIMBYs is that no upzoning here has ever led to rents falling in that neighborhood. Quite the contrary. This is why poor neighborhoods fight upzoning. Its like YIMBYs want New Yorkers to ignore the last fifty years.

While I learned some interesting facts from this thread, I do not believe that this is the reason why women’s sports institutions exist.

Dr Sheree Bekker @shereebekker

3/20 Let's unpack this a little: A. Women's sport exists as a category because the dominance of men athletes was threatened by women competing. We see this over and over again in the history of sport...

Three Russian cosmonauts just launched to the International Space Station on a Russian rocket, from Kazakhstan. The color scheme of their space attire as they came aboard the station is rather striking.

"growing reports of self-mutilation among Russian troops to avoid deployment to Ukraine" Holy crap!

understandingwar.orgInstitute for the Study of WarUkrainian forces conducted a major successful counterattack around Mykolayiv in the past several days, and Russian forces continued to secure territorial gains only around Mariupol on March 18. Russian forces face growing morale and supply problems,
