Hey, this is great, especially if they manage to build enough of them that the price per plant goes down instead of up.

This is all good, although most likely some of it is a catch-up effect from the pandemic and it'll be back down next year. But we should be creating policy to bring these higher.

I saw some progressives dunking on moderates by pointing out that Mitch McConnell is happy with the spending bill. But dealmaking is where both sides come away happy, and this is what that looks like. I didn't think it was possible to get Republicans to negotiate, but somehow Biden did it, which seems good...

I've said it before, but uh... TikTok, they're bad. It's bad to have one of our largest social media apps controlled by the CCP

Threads
• There's been a bunch of discourse about nepotism in Hollywood. Mostly the topic seems a bit silly, but this thread uses that as a starting point to discuss why companies really *should* take into account personal relationships in deciding who to hire, and it's crazy to say they shouldn't.
• Short thread about some YIMBY provisions in the omnibus spending bill. Plus there's extension of the covid-era telehealth regulation reform.
