Demonstrably false. He used his strong mayor powers to piss everyone off, approval for these 52 units would have certainly gone through without it.

I can only speak anecdotally but I see this too often. Smart people who were once great in their field but AI made their skill and knowledge atrophy in basically an instant.

I miss the days of weird little desktop software toys, so I made this video about The Simpsons Screen Saver collection from 1994. My favorite is "Homer Eats," where Homer walks around your desktop eating icons. Watch here: youtu.be/yhq2Bym5kTY (If you enjoy it, a like or a share goes a long way!)

I am *so* fascinated by the rural opposition to the Alto high-speed rail project that I've been seeing pop up. I can't shake the feeling that, even if the people speaking out locally are sincere, there's an astroturf or misinformation campaign behind it - but lord knows what the angle is.

The vehicle just crashed on its own. And then a man died - but let’s be careful not to imply causation.
An article in the Peterborough Examiner, with the headline “Man dies after vehicle crashes into building”.
