Sprawl locks in car dependency, alienation, loneliness, and higher costs for municipal services and utilities. Sprawl displaces farmland, natural habitat, and open space. Sprawl is climate denialism.

Was with 100k+ people in Hyde Park last night having a lovely evening as the sun set. Walked to Green Park to get home and passed dozens of great bars + restaurants. These tedious misanthropes need to go outside.

A note of caution for the LD leadership here is that only 1% of Lab > LD defectors have done so because Labour is "too left wing". 25% have done so because it's been too right wing.

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

I think Western people are grasping at the idea - without the vernacular to use because it’s been beaten out of popular discourse - of “actually, yes, we would like to live in a society. please.”

Time and again, those with the broadest shoulders contribute the least, while the most vulnerable are asked to tighten already-unbearable belts. Sunak pays a lower effective tax rate than a nurse. That should prompt reform at the top, not punishment at the bottom.

you know, i’m not militantly pro city-run groceries — i think it is an interesting idea to pilot and try out! — but i’m getting negatively polarized into being a big supporter just from these incredibly vapid, brain-dead posts.

Very pleasing that our house has been listed as being on an "enviable no-through road". Are LTN's...good?

It's quite striking that I've gone quite some time without even thinking about Kemi Badenoch because she's not said anything particularly relevant. She's sinking to a level of invisibility previously only reserved for leaders of the Liberal Democrats.

"We can capture the CO2 with quicklime!" "And how do you make quicklime?" "You heat limestone to release the CO2!" "Exactly the same amount of CO2 as you capture?" "Well, no..." "So isn't this actually releasing MORE CO2?" "We'll use GREEN quicklime!" "Is that a real thing?" "No."

Zohran's right. flex posts need to go the way of Andrew Cuomo's career "we need bollards, we need to replace these flex delineators... there are New Yorkers who do not bike because they're afraid of their safety... we need to further protect our already protected bike lanes."

Labour's to peel off Reform voters haven't made a dent, but 18% of their voters from last year are considering voting for rival progressive parties, vs only 7% for Reform.
