@amoralorealis I left to Mastodon, and it's 100x better than Twitter or Threads.
Far and away the best moderation out of any of the options. No ads. No algorithm, so you just get what you ask for.
You just need to find a server, but it's definitely worth the 20 minutes of effort.

Ignore me. Just testing Open Graph stuff.

1. Make daycares difficult to start on most land
2. Daycare becomes scarce, so parents drive long distances to get it
3. Observe parents driving to daycare, conclude that daycare=traffic
4. Use this observation to justify making daycares more difficult to start
Repeat forever

@yhdistyminen Okay, but he's calling us "desegregationists". That's kind of neat.

Let's not pretend these same people would have been okay with building market-rate condos instead. Maybe some would have, but most would have unleashed a well-rehearsed torrent of logorrhea about transients ruining the neighborhood, greedy developers, etc.

@InspiredAquaCA You should join Zeroes. There's another COVID-focused aquarium account there!

Pass it on.

This will only be effective if EVERYONE refrains from tweeting (X-ing?) on August 1st a/k/a #TweetlessTuesday. Let's show the owner the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Honestly, would it kill you to keep your thoughts to yourself for 1 damn day? Read a book! 👀 #August1stTweetOutDay

Anyways, if you've read this that's 1-2% of your daily Twitter rate limit.

The hardest parts to get used to are some of the accessibility norms.
But they're also (mostly) good norms, and kinda fun when you get used to it.
It's kind of cool to be on a social network that values this stuff.

If anybody needs help or advice migrating to Mastodon, let me know!
If you're focused on COVID safety, Zeroes (dot) ca is a million times nicer place to be than Twitter.
If you're looking for a queer or general-purpose instance, I will find you something good.

Imagine being a medical doctor, but also not thinking physics or chemistry are real.

🤣! RCTs have the pesky downside of giving an accurate causal estimate; and real world compliance being abysmal is part of the cake's recipe. This essay is a tour de force in poor scientific arguments & bad epidemiology 👇

Below is definition of an anti-science perspective.
Anti-mask "zealots" like this one would rather blindly "believe in" RCT's for respirators (foundationally flawed as the article clearly describes) than protect people from a deadly virus.
Clearly, he did not read the article.

It seems not great that the people we've elected to solve the housing crisis are all repeatedly giving themselves brain-damage via avoidable COVID infections.

Good morning from the final day of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association! (please clap) The conference wraps up this morning with speeches from Sonia Furstenau, Kevin Falcon, Municipal Affairs Minister Anne Kang, and a presentation by Bowinn Ma on climate resilience.

Dozens of people will die because of these bullshit lies.
Shannon Paterson is choosing to kill people, and instead of going to jail she gets a pay cheque.

@yhdistyminen I get that this is a shitpost, but also I can't get over how many people use cars as housing because housing is too expensive.
English
YIMBYs often argue that new housing supply is sort of like new cars or electronics, insofar as it makes existing supply more affordable and induces filtering. Someone invariably responds "cars are not housing". This excerpt from "The Hork-Bajir Chronicles" feels related.

To the surprise of nobody, if you call your policy "missing middle" but don't actually legalize density, it doesn't get you more homes.
Abolish parking minimums. Abolish setbacks. Abolish maximum heights and density limits.
Otherwise, you're choosing to displace people.
