Warby Parker glasses hold up well, are reasonably priced and aren’t owned by Luxottica

Asket has some nice (albeit expensive) options. They have a capsule wardrobe mindset, so you have fewer clothes of higher quality.

In English we have

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Which means:

Bison who are bullied by bison do themselves intimidate or bully bison (at least in the city of Buffalo – implicitly, Buffalo, New York)

You might check out the Magic Goes Away series by Larry Niven. The world has already passed on and people are trying to stick to what was and adapt to what’s new.

Special government employee is a specific classification that has been used by both Parties to have an advisor in the Executive Branch for brief periods (120 days at most).

That does not imply that DOGE is an official agency or department.

They are legally distinct concepts

Jungle primaries have existed in California, Washington and Alaska since at least 2014. You still see a convergence on the two main parties across every level

I’d rather see proportional representation than waste time fiddling with RCV/instant runoff or nonpartisan primaries.

I’m so glad you’re living your best life and creating the community you want to see!

But Blade was the better 2000s vampire movie franchise. Hot and cold dialogue choices, bizarre action sequences and absurd set pieces like a basement vampire rave with blood in the sprinklers? Come on. It’s sublime content

More like no one will buy new construction homes because they’re too expensive to produce.

New home builders are already struggling given upward price pressure on materials and high mortgage rates. Adding in a labor shortage will push the cost of construction up even more. Margins on these homes are low by historical standards and shrinking them further is not viable.

So we will end up with fewer new homes, the ones we do have are more expensive, and the businesses building them are making less money.
