On LBC today, I discussed the government's announcement of a second runway at Gatwick Airport and its rumoured decision to allow new oil and gas extraction. Is this Trump’s doing, Shelagh Fogarty asked me? No, it's worse than that.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins
There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

In today’s Edmonton Journal, 1104 words from Chris Varcoe about there being “no grand bargain” between the Feds and the oil and gas sector, which is to say no emissions cap, more pipelines NOW and unfettered access to markets.

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion.

Car dependency, foolish land-use sprawl, too many (& bigger) cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion.

Think about it. THAT’S common sense.

This is Musk actively inciting political violence.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 25d

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.

"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

The story of a NIMBY in 3 acts:

Act 1: Move to a new suburb
Act 2: Become annoyed that other people are moving there too
Act 3: Run for mayor to stop people from moving there

For some Brentwood residents, a longer drive into work is a fair tradeoff for a big house with a big yard. Just ask Mayor Susannah Meyer. After the housing-market crash of 2008, she moved from Pleasanton to Brentwood, where she and her husband bought a newly constructed house twice the size of their previous home — for $150,000 less than the Pleasanton home’s selling price.

In many ways, Brentwood reminded the couple of what had attracted them to Pleasanton 15 years earlier: the friendly neighbors who sat in rocking chairs on their front porch, the tranquil vibe, the lack of high-rise apartment complexes. But by the time Meyer ran for mayor in fall 2024, she was concerned that her beloved community was constructing too many homes.

“When you’re building as many new homes as were built here in the early 2000s, you need to think about the surrounding infrastructure,” Meyer said. “Some of that planning just didn’t happen, and we’re feeling it now.”
