@alyssaleann @moultano Oh word I graduated a couple years before you! All I can say is that was true to my experience right up until covid and while I still see it, it’s not as totalizing as it was in the late 10’s, especially the stark interiors and arch “fashion” around the office

@LucasToGo @moultano I graduated from architecture school in 2016 (US), and my cohort very much hated color But yes I am talking about commercial (bc this building is)

Generational tweet that might even spawn a school of architecture.

@alyssaleann @moultano Talking about high end resi I can’t speak to commercial/institutional which lags and has its own economic sensibilities

@alyssaleann @moultano Eh I think a lot of that started atomizing in late 2010’s in global cities (NYC/London at least), I don’t see that nearly as much of the stark stuff nowadays

@ryan_banchi_ @DrewSav Serves at the will of the people. If it doesn’t work for the people, the people will change it.

@DrewSav The Supreme Court does not exist to reflect what is popular.

The nation is not 6-3 so therefore the next Democratic President must make a priority to rebalance the Suprema Court. It is imperative the nation's highest court reflects the country.

Only true if you get a first down or drop a pass

Every time I see these I think of A Scanner Darkly

@jokeexpert @MattZeitlin @nkulw He’s a Known Guy for years both here and elsewhere

@MattZeitlin @nkulw I love when there’s a geopolitical event and some rando on twitter is deemed an expert because they confirms a bias (the sky is falling)

not good when the gas price guy is literally saying his system can't handle how fast prices are rising

Today was absolutely incredible Saw the most beautiful cumulonimbus of my life

Just updated my priors on finding Bayesians insufferable

@GentlemanMashr @Chris_arnade I’m chuffed to bits yall

@LucasToGo @Chris_arnade And I definitely thought that reply would come from a guy with an Auburn hashtag in his profile. 🤣

This is another example of why walking across an entire city, or a region passing through cities, gives you a better understanding of a place. When you walk across Milan, or from Dusseldorf to Bonn, you see that Europe isn't nearly as economically wealthy as the US. If you stick to tourist centers -- London, Paris, Milan -- you only see the wealthiest, and not the often dreary suburban apartment block bleah where most people live

In this way, Alex Mack turning into goo⁴ suggests an ephemerality akin to a transcendence of form, influencing explorations such as VanderMeer’s Annihilation (2014) and the liminal corporeality theorized by Donna Haraway in Staying with the Trouble (2016)

@GentlemanMashr @Chris_arnade Sheffield’s changing at a pretty rapid clip for the better too, I’d say in the last 5-10 years

@Chris_arnade I love visiting cities that tourists don’t think to visit in other countries… ended up in Sheffield on my last visit to the UK, and absolutely loved it. But it’s not a city that most Americans would know much about.

@nedsore @LinkofSunshine @keysmashbandit Omg are the reds still talking about this. We’re gonna give you a fair trial, don’t worry about it

@keysmashbandit The r/b question is a trick question that appeals to one’s hero complex. It presents a fake risk to hypothetically take in order to save hypothetical lives which people choose over the “selfish” option that actually guarantees more survival

Two things: 1. The best* result is not "everyone lives" but rather "You do not die." I think a lot of people are being idealistic about this, saying it's selfish, etc, but you're already making that exact tradeoff every day. You make choices that maximize your chance of continuing to not just remain alive but also very comfortable, even at the expense of bettering other people's shot of continuing to be alive (you could live in a shoebox and donate all your money to buy malaria nets, for instance). 2. Since childhood I've tried many strategies to explain logic puzzles to members of my family, and it rarely works out. You probably have family members like this as well. Anyway, I'm not making a positive argument about the thought experiment. But I think it's very silly to pretend (1) isn't true. You're already doing this! You do it all the time! * Best in the sense that A contains B. All people living is a very good outcome! But it's extremely important that you personally continue living, strategically. It's basically the most important thing. "No it's not you're just selfish" you're a liar and your lifestyle betrays you! Go volunteer at a soup kitchen!

Feels like the ten minutes before you get absolutely walloped by an April thunderstorm that drops an EF2 a couple towns over

I promise a fair trial for the red button pushers by the way

Just about ran into an old man (maybe early 70’s) turning the corner wearing the exact same outfit as me, down to the baseball cap and glasses. We stared at each other for a long time like it was a time traveller situation

@daveweigel I still think the fortitude that possessed many post-civil rights/ERA era dems (RGB included) to succeed for decades through sheer force of will fuel them to stay way too long. For better or worse they had that dawg in them (ultimately, unfortunately, for worse)

Dems had been trying to reason with Scott for years — he was old, fading and unable to do the job like he used to. But he filed to run again and now Dems have their fourth death-caused vacancy of this Congress. politico.com/news/2022/01/1…

@DjRodgers1231 @conorsen That why you add 1000 seats to the court split 50/50 D and R and have a randomized slate of 11 for each case

@conorsen Add some seats to the Supreme Court so they can overturn the maps when it gets there. I know, I know… then it means R’s will add seats in 2032. Fine. The court is a sham already.

It’s like 6 steps away so not worth more than a tweet but Dem trifecta in 2028 -> huge red wave in Trumpless midterm in 2030 would probably let the GOP draw some pretty aggressive maps in 2031, not sure what Dems can do to be proactive here.
