I have too many open tabs so let’s have a quick “what I’m reading” post
Millenials rediscover concepts like “dorms,” “boarding houses” and “apartments.” I’m not sure how this is novel.
Despite San Jose’s reputation for inclusivity (about 40 percent of residents are foreign born) and economic mobility (ranked best among U.S. cities), Mayor Sam Liccardo says the region’s affordable housing shortage has forced thousands to crash on couches, live in their cars, or stay on the streets.
Here, I think I see your problem:

There. Fixed it for you.
On the other hand, these startups might be nice places to live.
Greater male variability, this time in response to solar cycles:
The authors use the vital statistics of 320,247 Maine citizens over a 29-year period to show that those born in 3-year peaks of 11-year solar cycles live an average of 1.5 years (CL 1.3–1.7) less than those born in non-peak years. Males are more sensitive than females to this phenomenon, which is statistically demonstrable well into adult life, showing the effect of probable UVR on the early human embryo despite superimposed adult lifetime hazards.
Genetic analysis of social-class mobility in five longitudinal studies:
… we studied social mobility in five cohorts from three countries. We found that people with more education-linked genetics were more successful compared with parents and siblings. We also found mothers’ education-linked genetics predicted their children’s attainment over and above the children’s own genetics, indicating an environmentally mediated genetic effect. Findings reject pure social-transmission explanations of education GWAS discoveries. Instead, genetics influences attainment directly through social mobility and indirectly through family environments.
Interesting Twitter thread on some recent antifa thing:
White Woman: Your parents would be embarrassed by you–and your grandparents–who have been oppressed by white men throughout history. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Asian Man: Why?
White Woman: Because you’re an Asian giving in to white supremacy, motherfucker
I don’t know anything about Andy Ngo, the photographer who captured this segment and wrote the thread, but I do think there’s some seriously non-self-aware irony in a white person insulting and verbally abusing an Asian person for a perceived failure to feel oppressed by other white people. If she’s so concerned about whites oppressing Asians, maybe she should… stop doing it herself?
Portland is apparently turning into some kind of shithole:
As the crowd made their way to a nearby courthouse, they marched in the middle of the street, bringing traffic to a stop though they didn’t have a permit. Kent Houser, 74, made the mistake of attempting to pass them in his sedan. His car slowly pushed against a masked marcher. The crowd surrounded the car and started kicking it. After speeding down the block, Mr. Houser stepped out and was assaulted by the mob. They pushed him and smashed his car with clubs after he managed to get back inside the vehicle. No police were in sight even though the central precinct was blocks away. …
The mob later occupied a busy intersection. When a middle-aged man driving a car with North Carolina plates stopped in confusion, the agitators descended on him. “You white little f—er!” shouted one white man. “You are a little white supremacist. Go back to North Carolina where you came from.” The driver phoned police for assistance. Nobody came. …
A block away, police officers looked on passively. Why didn’t they respond? The department told me in a statement that it feared intervention would “change the demeanor of the crowd for the worse.”
Such lawlessness is increasingly typical here. Portland’s Resistance organized a protest after Election Day 2016 that turned into a riot. Masked vandals smashed stores and set fires, causing over $1 million in damage.
I remember those riots. They put a friend of mine who ticks every SJ-interest box you can name in danger, because antifa do not actually care about the people they claim to care about.
I’m sure the Portland Police would like to do their jobs, but it’s not worth it–either they’ve been told not to by their superiors or they’re guaranteed to get sued if they do.

>seriously non-self-aware irony
I am pretty sure that person would be shocked if you called her white. People’s identities don’t necessarily match with reality. The whole SWPL thing was based on the joke that the kind of upper class libs depicted would be horrified if they were called white people because they don’t describe themselves that way.
For example one example of non-obvious identities is the whole Northern Ireland thing. I used to think it is Protestants vs. Catholics. Then I learned some Republican leaders were Protestants and in the past Catholic Republicans, Fenians were often excommunicated from the Church. And there is this thing that Protestants came from a Scottish background, weren’t ethnically Irish but everybody seems to try to forget this and people generally just say it is simply the difference between two political convictions, Unionist vs. Republican but come on, this is not how politics usually works, convictions don’t spread entirely randomly and while ideologies create synthetic tribes, they do not often recruit random individuals, but often pre-existing synthetic tribes, of which religion and ethnicity are often likely candidates. So basically I have no idea how how identities work in Norn Iron. I am not even sure they really understand it.
