Being a “conservative intellectual” must rule so much. There’s this giant mass of babies that are scared of cities, mad at cartoons, and intimidated by women, and your job is to convince them having those feelings makes them brave warriors for western civilization

it really does warm my heart every time we North Americans act like real neighbors to each other. seeing Mexico and Canada rush in to help California is beautiful. speaks to the best in us. don't forget that in the days to come.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

The SVB bankrun more or less confirmed this. And, as Matt Levine wrote at the time, no one on earth is more of a herd animal than Silicon Valley venture capital.

My hottest take is that pervasive therapy-speak in online left circles has metastasized into a deeply antisocial resurgence of rugged individualism. Boundaries are one thing, but we all have an extensive obligations to each other as citizens, much less simply people. Otherwise none of this works.

Ljubljana's mayor had to significantly upgrade his security when the city fully pedestrianized its old city core because of the number of death threats he received. Last year, local support for the no-vehicles zone polled north of 90%.

When my wife lived in NYC I routinely NJT + Subway'd (W or N) from EWR to Astoria and it usually ended up being roughly the same length of time as the uber and also US$100 cheaper.

Not to put too fine a point on it but you’re probably not much of a leftist nor an environmentalist if the notion of congestion pricing sends you into a tantrum. you’re just another american consumer who fancied themselves as a radical lol

Ottawa's LRT network when I moved here in 2010, today, and when the ongoing expansion projects are done in a couple years. There have been some major challenges along the way, but the pace and scale of the buildout is pretty remarkable.

I think a key problem with the Trudeau Liberals is that they went significantly further left stylistically than they did substantively, or mired their substantive stuff in so many needless procedural hurdles (think of the very complicated ins-and-outs of actually delivering $10/day daycare).
