Pritzker to propose statewide zoning laws to spur homebuilding, limit local control Article Summary JB Pritzker will propose a plan during his State of the State address to drastically limit local governments’

We want to make it easier, faster, and more cost-effective to build homes in Illinois.

An ambitious slate of reforms to eliminate barriers, lower costs for construction, produce a wider range of family-friendly housing, and streamline construction processes.

The true threat is its utter mediocrity. It's adequate, acceptable even to the lazy or foolish, who might confuse it for being "good". That brings down the average of what we expect of one another. What we expect of ourselves. The Butlerian Jihad is feeling like a real, necessary, existential path

We are seeing human intelligence be degraded, replaced, and undermined in the open by AI. It doesn't matter that it sucks, it's becoming ubiquitous regardless. While much of it is abjectly terrible (see AI filmmaking and its inability to remain consistent with space), that's not the real problem 2/

Butlerian Jihad now: the one thing I'm surprised to enjoy about reality collapsing in on itself until parody and sincerity are one, fact and fiction inseparable from one another, is the Butlerian Jihad turning from funny reference to genuine philosophical standpoint. 1/

Graphic designers and artists, take heed to this RFP! We're seeking art work for an educational card game about exclusionary zoning. yimbyaction.org/about/rfp-de...

I cast a wide net because I never know what to expect. By chance I found a game that spoke to all the ways it's hard to change the world. How even trying should make you question your own ego and methods. I hope to see All Will Rise tell this story that its creators so clearly understand.

Why a Game About Climate Litigation Matters More Than You Think For the past several months, our founder, Loes, has been part of the All Will Rise team as a climate law professional. Here's what she has to say about it:When I first joined the project, I had absolu...

Fantastic blog by our climate law specialist Loes van Dijk. 'Seeing how game designers build systems, create narratives, and translate real-world dynamics into interactive experiences gave me a new appreciation for the medium.' www.climate-court.com/post/why-a-g... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

this means it is not open for transit

"If"

Feels a little on the nose for the morally reprehensible monster president to have a literal black mark of decay on his hand that he can't hide regardless of how hard he tries but you know here we are

I use Gemini when I'm bored — and it's better than doomscrolling It became my ultimate distraction

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

This is an awesome resource, thank you for putting this together.

I don't think you can technically refer to yourself as a professional YouTuber until leaked chat messages force you to retreat from the platform in shame (for a few weeks at most, it's fine apparently).

WATCH: MAGA CM Vickie Paladino is crashing out because props 2-5 will allow affordable housing to be built in her Queens district.

These changes were designed as a backstop to prevent abuse of member deference, and ensure that every neighborhood does its part. They're working!

Sure, and that's totally accurate in a case that is in any sense being prosecuted. Unfortunately the entire story here is the lack of transparency and the fundamental corruption of power. Mob outrage is not the solution we should seek or even achieve. Whether it's the only option is being decided.

it's actually great that he has alienated all the most deranged lunatics in politics while uniting disparate factions who care about material outcomes. when people say we need more Mamdanis, this is actually what that entails

What about threatened and endangered parking lots?

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

If they understand the reality best, if one size fits all is bad, if they are best equipped to handle these problems, then why do we have a housing shortage? Why do we keep having to sue them to get them to follow the law? Why do their councilors keep getting convicted of land use corruption?

Can you imagine if we had to get a grand jury to issue an indictment? Present that indictment to the accused? Hold a preliminary hearing on the evidence? Determine pretrial detention status? Call a jury? Prepare a record? Present evidence? Prove guilt? Before executing people? Not how Trump operates

I know this is the wrong crowd for this but, I have an important test that I apply to new technologies that people think are going to fix everything. I ask "how does this help with the housing crisis?"

Invariably (so far) it does not.

PANEL 1: A cowboy looking out over a series of strip malls. NARRATOR: "At the rise of the next hill, he could see an unending series of car dealerships, occasionally broken by a plaza of mediocre dining options. A conquering pattern repeating to the coast. A local identity with no locality and no identity." PANEL 2: A duck is reading the book that ostensibly the cowboy panel took place in. NARRATOR: "As a boy and hundreds of miles from here, he'd sat numb hours with his brother in the identical non-places of the middle west as their parents teased themselves with dreams of future selves in better cars under better financing. Nothing for a child to do. Nothing for a child to touch. No marker for a memory. But it had happened. Here he met it again."

honestly, we gotta get him to keep talking like this

I don't know who this Dunning Kruger guy is but I'm definitely smarter than him, and I can beat up his brother Freddie if it comes down to it.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty.

My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

Some great stuff written about our movie and S&S!

There is no one I, or other of my ADHD brethren, owe more to than whoever thought of the "Your email mentions and attachment but there is no attachment. Are you sure?" feature. Lives have been saved by this unknown programmer.

Even the lack of self interest is shocking. I have problems with Democrats and Kamala, but in a two party system one candidate DOES win. It's either going to be the better one or the worse one. All you have to do is press a button. Why not influence the decision? (not to mention down ballot)
