My most radical take is that TOD is a scam invented by single-family home preservationists to find a scientifically sound way to concentrate "those people" is specific areas outside of where real people live, and urbanists have embraced it because it's better than nothing.

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

Russia has one enormous strategic advantage of which it is taking advantage. It can daily attack civilian targets--hospitals, universities, markets--knowing that while Ukraine can do the same, the Ukrainians are too humane to do so.

THE NHL SEASON STARTS TOMORROW! Our Team Projections for the '26-27 season are now updated. Like every year, we wrote some stuff about it and also made some handy tables to set expectations. As always, have fun but be safe. Projections: evolving-hockey.com/stats/team_p...

The corollary to this is that progressive urbanism must also be at least a little bit libertarian to be liberatory; to get organic, informal networks you need to allow the uncontrolled and unpredictable, whether that's different and novel housing or jobs or amusement.

It turns out that high levels of immigration become politically toxic if there isn't the housing for newcomers and we've left "should there be enough homes" as a question answered by municipal councils (and they've mostly decided the answer is "no.") So federal policy is thwarted by municipalities.

Watching the Ottawa mayoral race closely. Sutcliffe desperately wants re-election, and has swung ‘left’ on transit, homelessness, etc. But his fiscal plan doesn’t match, and where was he for 4 years? Leiper is the real deal.

The World Happiness Report is a terrible source and I wish people would stop citing it. It has the United States listed as the 6th best country in the world on inequality and the UAE - which doesn't even have elections - as the 4th most free. All kinds of other nonsense.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

Drake Batherson (8x10.6m extension with Ottawa) is a great converter of offence into goals, both by setting and finishing; and an exceptionally strong driver of penalty differential; maybe the best in the league. Ordinary impacts on shot rates.

A statistic that haunts me because it is 100% true and shocking and useless in advocacy precisely because it is true and shocking: Policy that enables a 1-car lifestyle rather than 2 is equivalent to giving a family a $25,000 annual pay raise.
