@cameron_parker @mattyglesias yeah I think most people have a weird aunt or two

@mattyglesias Isn’t Harris just a slightly worse version of Newsom? Feels like he’s a better bet.

I feel like buildings used to burn down a lot more before 1980 or so. Michigan’s current capitol is their third, and the last two buildings were destroyed by fire, and I’m wondering why that is.
Was there a technological advancement somewhere? Did we just get good at fire codes?

@pepsiskateboard @mattyglesias Harris seems real? Interesting.
English
@cameron_parker @mattyglesias He reads like such a disingenuous huckster. At least Harris seems.... weird and anxious, but real.

@312planner @mattyglesias Idk. Comparable politics. Gavin is much better on the stump.

@serenityposting @conorsen I think you should look at prices as the best indicator where we have a shortage of teams and games. It ain’t soccer.
English
@conorsen @cameron_parker MLS is the only viable option here. maaaybe NWSL and PWHL. but the WNBA is insanely toxic and the product is horrible. it’s still not going to drive down prices for Knicks tickets in MSG though.

Abundance is great and we should build more housing and vibrant metros but a wealthier America with 400 million people will have much higher prices for courtside seats, Super Bowl/Taylor Swift tickets, etc.
Darren Rovell@darrenrovell
The first two courtside seats have sold for the first Knicks Finals home game at Madison Square Garden in 27 years. Someone purchased TWO seats on StubHub for.... $279,804! I have confirmed the sale.

I will watch any movie with Swann Arlaud. I don’t even need to know what it’s about.

@Tyler_A_Harper No mention of the champagne of beers Miller High Life??
English
In which I make the case that Miller Lite is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel gustatory experiences and has come to confuse this empty, hedonistic quest with being cultured.

House Democrats should bring a Todd Blanche impeachment resolution to the floor -- impeachment is privileged -- and see if they can peel off enough Republicans to force a Senate trial over the slush fund. joshbarro.com/p/impeach-todd…

@GuyOron How can you finance that amount of bonds on $2m? You would need a 3% interest rate and works still be left with nothing. Thats really high leverage.
English
According to a presentation by SSHD staff, the developer will make a net annual revenue of $2 million, even after accounting for the rent reductions and freezes. This will finance $60 million in bonds, allowing the agency to immediately cycle capital and invest in more buildings.

BREAKING: The Seattle Social Housing Developer has announced its first acquisition, a 150-unit apartment building near Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle, for the cost of $60.9 million. It plans to convert half the units to be affordable for low and middle-income tenants.

@maxdubler No one saying the obvious which is that we have autistic billionaires who sadly don’t care about the arts and that’s why we have struggling institutions.
English
SF MoMA’s KAWS retrospective is deeply embarrassing for the institution and the city as a whole.

Considering how artsy SF is, we have really bad art museums

Wrong. Martinez is the father of Martini.
Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth)@antoniogm
The -ez ending in Hispanic surnames stems from the post-Roman Germanic tribes who swept through Iberia and used patronymics, enshrining those names. Hence: Martinez->son of Martín Rodriguez->son of Rodrigo Fernandez->son of Fernando Sanchez->son of Sancho Etc.

@jdcmedlock Apparently this is just for the historical years in question in the suit. Still crazy but not as crazy as it sounds in the headline.

@coryfromphilly @CSElmendorf Even with no restrictions, there will always be demand to live in the four corners of San Francisco. So there is a certain scarcity. I would be quite surprised if any amount of upzoning made land cheap. goal is to increase density so unit price drops not lower land value
English
@CSElmendorf Imagine a world where there are no density restrictions anywhere. Then there is no scarcity of "zoned capacity" as you can build whatever you want. So the only variation in price is due to demand not due to productivity.
English
A great deal in principle ⤵️.
Upzoning + IZ cuts -> higher land values -> more tax revenue.
The deal would dedicate a portion of the tax increment to BMR housing developers, in exchange for their dropping their opposition to lower IZ.
The hitch is in the next tweets.

Mission Local@MLNow
Myrna Melgar & Daniel Lurie have struck a deal. The pair said today $125M/yr would start going to the city's affordable housing fund, more than doubling the current rate. In exchange, there will be peace on the city changing its "inclusionary" rates. missionlocal.org/2026/05/sf-aff…

Plato hated Homer, and this whole stupid discourse about THE ODYSSEY shows why he'd hate social media, too. calmdownben.com/p/helen-of-tro…

México, desde La Conquista (+500 años) ha tenido 130 jefes de estado. Solamente UNO de ellos sabía hablar náhuatl, el idioma indígena dominante:
Maximiliano de Habsburgo.
