Instead, many pro-housing writers seem to take a bizarre Fanonesque glee at the prospect of bulldozing the prettiest single-family areas to put up apartment blocks. https://t.co/8yTdxl9OUl

At the time, of course, SBF *was* an investor in @Semafor (which they disclosed). Could that be where they got the story about him rolling over his public stock into stock in Musk’s private Twitter? Musk insisted it never happened. SBF said he wasn’t sure. https://t.co/yswfcL7F8Z… https://t.co/CvYX5cjqGK

“Welcome to Semafor Media, where we admit when we’re wrong”– Dec 31 email from @semafor. But as far as I can see Semafor has *never* admitted it’s huge, introductory error in reporting that SBF was Musk’s “now-partner in owning Twitter.” It’s still up! https://t.co/T2fzKXVLH0

I think it was Hendrik Hertzberg who asked why do white people think they lose out on jobs to less competent minorities while blacks think they have to be twice as good as whites to get any respect–and both are right?
The answer is affirmative action. In both cases. https://t.co/R3ch3i3IFl

Well, once you admit some aesthetic costs are worth bearing, we’re just haggling over the price. I have a feeling YIMBY’s could build a lot more if they put aesthetics front and center. Lots of single family neighborhoods are quite beautiful. https://t.co/YPzzRhW2Bh

Obviously, we still DON’T know what was going on with Epstein–eg how he made his money, what the purpose of the whole operation was, who from America’s elite participated in it and why … Maybe that will change with the expected release of the 150 names, but i suspect not.

The main reason to charge SBF on campaign finance is similarly to the reason for making public the Epstein evidence: He had a whole seemingly unprecedented operation going, which involved violating the law, and the public should know full picture of what the hell was going on … https://t.co/Ipx2oWsq1O

Annoying that @PunchbowlNews feels it has to call the House GOP border bill, HR2, “hardline .” I would call it “comprehensive” if that word hadn’t become a euphemism for amnesty. How about “might actually work”?https://t.co/WeMIwthaNj

Seems like using “straw donors” is classic campaign finance violation whether the source of the money is stolen customer funds or not. Doesn’t seem too small a deal to prosecute, publicize and shame. Ask Dinesh D’Souza and many others. https://t.co/eVBNhMnlsS
