What if cities allowed housing to be built at the scale demand requires? The Sen̓áḵw development, led by the Squamish Nation and constructed outside of Vancouver and its zoning rules, offers one vision of what’s possible. Writer Alex Mayyasi explores: ow.ly/cpxZ50YFfep

My expectation for this war was 'everyone loses,' but to be honest, if those terms hold and Iran gets to pull in $40bn a year from the Strait to fund their proxies and build their nuclear program - if this is the deal - then honestly the Iranian regime simply...won.

There's this myth that non-voters are just as aware of and engaged with current events as voters are and that they just haven't found the candidate that inspires them and no, that's not true at all, it's usually that they don't know anything about politics at all, which is the entire challenge.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent.
To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

"We expected protective paternalism to play a central role in explaining why some men perceive the tradwife movement positively... We were taken aback to discover that it was instead men’s overt sexism that played the most important role in their attitudes about the tradwife movement.”

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

This might be the most interesting real estate project in North America right now when it comes to the debate over how to build more housing and bring down the cost of rent. Today: The story of a place called Sen̓áḵw and the skyscrapers NIMBYs couldn’t stop.

There’s only one elegant solution to this problem of increasingly stupid audiences, and that’s to mandate that every film ends with a closing rap song that lays out all the moral lessons of the movie. There will be a government office that reviews the songs for aural and pedagogical value.

Great analysis.
“But the result was that by bombing the Iranian nuclear facilities in June of 2025, the Trump administration created a situation where merely by launching a renewed air campaign on Iran, Israel could force the United States into a war with Iran at any time.”

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

Don't believe or report as true *anything* coming from Donald J. Trump. He is a liar.

Today, I learned about lasagna batteries. I’m surprised aluminium corrosion is that colour.

Yup, Millennium Challenge 2002. The game was reset and the rules changed so the US Navy might be able to win.

Iran is trolling Trump again. Hard. This is what happens when global politics becomes reality TV.
