![Suburbia is Subsidized: Here's the Math [ST07]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ny5w2k6brb2kdubxnevke6li/bafkreiel2nac6kjxkzjji3o24qpv2ehz3ayohjkeihsxj3fcjcbf35gugi)
WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social. And PLEASE SHARE it as much as possible.
I’ve sent it to a LOT of politicians.
When BlueSky changes ownership, all I ask for is that I can still get a chronological feed as a default.
It no longer exists on Facebook, and Twitter makes it difficult.
I follow people because I want to see their posts when they post them.
Watch this clip.
Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

Zelensky: "We have made many compromises. Putin and his friends are not in prison (!). This is the biggest compromise that the world has already made."
“Spanish PM defends plans to regularise half a million undocumented migrants.”

Feb 1 in University District History: Hayes Hall on the Ohio State campus opens to students and faculty. Named for multiply wounded Civil War veteran, Ohio Governor, US President, Ohio State advocate and trustee, Rutherford B Hayes. In 1893.
The academics who kissed up to
Epstein to try to get $$, even after they knew who he was, are (willing) products of the hypervalorization of funding & building up large labs as a key driver of academic prestige & leverage (ability to get more $$ from their uni or to move). It’s not a surprise.
In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

I think Westerners tend to forget (or never knew) that Ukraine's anti-colonial struggle didn't begin in 1990, or 2014, or 2022. It has been going on for centuries.
Really worth the 10 minutes to watch this to learn about how car-centric suburbs are financially subsidized by the more sustainable city, and some hints about how cities can improve their own metrics (hint: it's density).
so beautiful 💐
I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.
It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.
Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.
Your PhD dissertation is supposed to be challenging. It's not supposed to be impossible, insurmountable, or worse. If you're feeling you need more support, let's talk. Maybe one of my affordable programs makes sense for you; maybe something else does. First consult is free.

A Ukrainian drone recorded a new buildup of Russian military equipment at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
He said Russia uses the site to train drone operators and launch attacks, hiding behind nuclear infrastructure — a direct threat to regional nuclear safety.
First, that older mobile homes are the most at-risk, that new manufactured homes benefit from energy efficiency, and that the tradeoff between affordability and resiliency is a myth that needs busting.
I remember when posting about peer-reviewed studies about COVID & cardiovascular disease in the post-acute phase would be met with mockery from bad faith actors
Plese repost & share: "The risks of using generative artificial intelligence to educate children and teens currently overshadow the benefits, according to a new study by the Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education."

Remember back when you could sell your used books? That feels like ancient history now.
Kyiv is fighting to restore heat and electricity in the hardest stretch of the winter, while Ukraine confirms a major Caspian Sea strike and Britain advances new missiles and air-defense support. At the same time, Greenland tensions and Iran’s unrest are pulling global security attention

The federal government barred a list of 200 words and phrases from Head Start funding applications, including "disability" and "Black." Many of the banned words are explicitly referenced in the Head Start Act which was signed in 2007.
