@_jasminwats @vivrantny This is literally exactly the exact same thing people said about Brooklyn brownstones back in the 1800s.
People who see housing as an artistic commodity, rather than a place for people to live…man.

there was something else that changed between the lowest of the low employment years after the Great Recession, besides one law that affected a relatively narrow slice of the construction sector:
the economy recovered.
that is what led Carpenters' apprenticeship numbers to ⤴️

Great piece here about how pharmaceutical marketing incentives, resource scarcity, and the perennial search for shortcuts can undermine sound clinical practice.

Solar panels are non-coercive and anarcho-localist (manufactured by Uyghur slaves in China and shipped around the world by fossil fuels), while nuclear power is capitalist extraction (built domestically by highly paid union labor and financed and regulated by the government)
Fred Stafford @fredstaffordcs
This claptrap is what passes for serious analysis of power sector on degrowth left. Nuclear requires monopoly and domination while solar panels are democratic and can be run by coops.
So what localist entity is balancing the grid? How is 24/7 industrial baseload supplied? 1/ https://t.co/KV6PYYCocg

A movie that rewards a cycle where you rewatch it after reading about it, because few people are going to get all the little bits like this.
Another is that one of the composers Adam Gopnik says Tár commissioned works from is the woman who wrote the score to the movie.

I started choking on my water when I realized what was happening in the last scene of Tár. Un-fucking-believable.
