Me and my archaeology colleagues had a party after unearthing the world's oldest known tibia, which was nice because I do like a good shin dig.

The Republican political ads are making me hate them more than I already did. I didn't think that was possible.

we tracked months of rent payments to an estimated 13,000 families. the expected cost of rehousing those families, had they entered eviction, would be north of $218 million dollars. keeping them housed cost around $38-40 million

Schrödinger wakes up, groggy, no memory of the last few hours, unsure of his surroundings. He seems to be confined inside some kind of box. There is a strange mechanism at one end. His pulses quickens; from outside he hears a cat purring.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Every study initiated on the subject makes it clear that the most effective, cheapest (yes, CHEAPEST, most inexpensive, highest return on investment) forms of aid are direct cash payments with zero means testing, and on-request right-to-housing.
These are just facts.

If you object to public-funded housing of homeless people, in the end the objection cannot be the cost, because we pay a premium to be cruel to homeless people. At the bottom of the objection will always sit dehumanizing cruelty and a desire for eradication.

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school.

Helmets are often misinterpreted as the solution to safety. Put simply, they aren't. Helmets protect your head from an uncontrolled fall. Proper infrastructure is what protects you from multi-ton vehicles. Don't conflate the two, they are worlds apart.

It's funny that a lot of people erroneously assume the ubiquitous surveillance state license plate readers are being used to enforce speed limits. It sort of makes logical sense that they would do that!
But the people putting the surveillance state shit up do not care about enforcing speed limits!

The important thing to understand about Republican voters is that they are the most selfish people in the country.

As a true Gen Xer -- specifically, a Gen Xer of the "fuck the man, don't sell out" variety -- the direction of my cohort has just been an agonizing disappointment to me. They've clutched on to this adolescent "don't tell me what to do" mentality in a way that is demonstrably enabling authoritarians!
