The union that pushed to expand gambling has also scuttled attempts to provide shelter and services to the city’s homeless. ⁦@nytimes⁩ https://t.co/74ur1VXBps

“The backdrop is this massive change in British society where there are fewer coal miners or manual labourers to have these kinds of working-class sons and daughters, so there are fewer working-class people coming through.” ⁦@guardian⁩ https://t.co/qGvYyEH1J5

Nice point by @helaineolen: GMA 3 and other shows *depend* on a fake flirtatious romance between their male and female hosts. So what if this one became real? https://t.co/qG623yONGI

Love this. #Salary for @wsj social media editor is $40-160k, anywhere from barely squeaking by to living handsomely. #NYC now requires employers to post ranges to improve gender equity, etc., but some of them are so broad as to be utterly meaningless. https://t.co/6xEsC3HsX3

Apparently some people think solar farms are unattractive. But pretty much EVERYBODY thinks parking lots are unattractive. https://t.co/GPKAjWzkRf

Interesting but confused by statement that farmers refusing buyouts "will be forced out of business." How so? @TheGuardian quotes NL nitrogen minister: "After a year, we will see if this has achieved enough.” https://t.co/tMXVI1EPlz via @business @April__Roach @tracywwithers

Been struggling to grasp significance of #TwitterFiles. Much commentary biased 1 way or other. But this from @mtaibbi helps: “So far what I’ve seen mostly just confirms what we know, though it’s embarrassing to read.” https://t.co/CeFFUj8KqQ via @politico @SchreckReports

This is the time of year I keep getting emails about “last minute holiday shopping tips” before I’ve done my first minute shopping.

I’m surprised people aren’t concerned making buses free won’t make an already crowded system more crowded. That’s what happened when weekly & monthly Metrocards were introduced. And why should the well-off get their fares subsidized? @JMartinezNYC https://t.co/CW7Qyr1YY3

RT @ShabazzStuart: Overseen on Reddit. This is going to be a BIG challenge. https://t.co/o08shhe2UE

I’m puzzled by this as well. Is the problem the Black applicants have higher debt-income ratios or banks have different standards based on race? The former means wealth inequality will persist as long as income discrepancies do. The latter, discrimination. cc: @debra_kamin

@nytimes Statistic is not controlled for debt-to-income ratio or credit score, and headline fails to mention that even this misleading statistic has been steadily improving.

⁦@markberman⁩ As u report out this story I hope u tell us WHY it’s significant the shooter pleaded guilty. Not many defendants do @ this stage. 1 of my journalism pet peeves is we report on pleas w/o explaining why they matter (& often they don’t). https://t.co/pZq2VAa1kz
