@TheZvi Lumber is for homes, not apartments!!!

English

Zvi Mowshowitz@TheZvi·2h

I worry that pointing this out is less likely to create support for building houses and more likely to get them to try and ban apartment buildings.

Reed Schwartz@reedschwartzsf

The Warren team seems to believe both that 1. investors are harming tenants by building new rental stock and 2. this is fine so long as the buildings are apartments

@JeremiahDJohns The Value lane is wide open for candidates of all ideologies. The Government had a ton of money and people working for it and I want to focus on just making that work better and not fight about more/less

"Zohran doing DOGE better than the actual DOGE" was not on my 2026 bingo card, but here we are

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

The new AMERICANA is out, and asks a question that's been pinging around Dem circles: What happened to the climate movement? Why are the groups that bird-dogged presidential candidates about net zero now focused on Gaza and ICE? semafor.com/article/03/25/…

“Switchblades” have proven to be next to useless in real world combat conditions in Ukraine when faced with even basic Russian electronic warfare.

💥 "Switchblades are artillery on easy mode." I spent March 19-20 with elements of the 82nd Airborne Division in Louisiana. Here's what I saw — and how they fought alongside smart machinery. @axios axios.com/2026/03/25/82n…

You've seen the headlines about Iran not being interested in ceasefire talks. But there is a certain logic by which that means they are interested in ceasefire talks.

am going with ironic gift

Faytuks News@Faytuks

Trump says that: "Iran gave us a gift, and the gift arrived today. It was a big gift worth a lot of money. It told me that we're negotiating with the right people. It was a gift related to oil and gas."

Speaking to reporters earlier at the White House, President Trump mentions and vaguely talks about a mysterious “present” given to the United States yesterday by Iran: “Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me, we’re dealing with the right people. No, it wasn't nuclear related. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did.”

Even if you weren't sure about whether this war is a good idea, the arguments of the people who support it should give you a hint.

People are now engaging in the exegesis of Trump's fatwas in real time. Soon they will argue that even the typos contain hidden meaning, which only the enlightened can uncover.

Dr. Mehrdad Ashabi@Medinfo_X

تغییر لحن ترامپ از «رژیم» به «کشور ایران» (THE COUNTRY OF IRAN) در توییت جدیدش بی‌دلیل نیست. وقتی او از «گفتگوهای سازنده» می‌گوید و جمهوری اسلامی با قاطعیت هرگونه مذاکره را تکذیب می‌کند، یعنی صندلی طرف مقابل در واشینگتن متعلق به مقامات فعلی نیست. جالب اینجاست که دستور توقف حملات به نیروگاه‌ها، دقیقاً با درخواست اخیر شاهزاده رضا پهلوی (حفاظت از زیرساخت‌های ملی و تمرکز بر هسته سخت قدرت) مو به مو همخوانی دارد. توقف ۵ روزه حملات، بوی توافق با نیروهای جایگزین و اپوزیسیون را می‌دهد.

@ChrisK22115858 @Rory_Johnston Are they down or just not as high. Feels like I'm paying more for gas lately but maybe you can convince me otherwise if you use ALL CAPS

Krzysztof@ChrisK22115858·2d

@Rory_Johnston Personally I agree with You, but reality contradicts it. Oil is over 10% lower and is still going down. There is a chance the prices were set for a whole week. So for now: jawboning - reality wins 3:0 (every week at monday DT do jawbonning and prices go down).

Rory Johnston@Rory_Johnston·2d

This is correct So much of the world now can increasingly just be driven by overconfidently posting through it—but not oil, not for long Hormuz flow still hasn't resumed and every day we're shedding more oil from the system That'll catch up—can't jawbone 10-15 MMbpd stock draws

Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

Oil is a physical commodity and not a meme stock. At the end of the day, either output of jet fuel and other products will increase or it won’t.
