Jazz vs Trump
They are incompatible.
The American culture (freedom and creativity) is incompatible with authoritarianism.
It's our last hope.
ChatGPT has been more useful to me than Google and the Internet.
AI will revolutionise the world.
Nearly 700k Americans died in a White Supremacists' war against Abolitionists a century ago.
Plus similar numbers of wounded and of captured/missing, totaling over 2 million total casualties.
Or 7% of the total American population at the time (31 million).

It's called location premium.
Most greenbelts just strangulate towns. Most of them are just propaganda from the NIMBYs.
The UK is much bigger than people *feel* living in crowded spaces, towns and cities.
I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Re-reading this story while listening to DOJ invoking national security in the Alien Enemies Act hearing before the DC Circuit is somewhat jarring.

Space is NOT the reason. The gray vote is. And consulting only current local residents and not the younger house-less future buyers of the future potential houses, as they don't exist yet.
As some of you may know I am a political economist. The world economic environment has worsen. UK borrowing costs increased massively from September.
It is not Rachel Reeves' fault. She has to balance the books, but that killed growth. The only zero cost solution I can see is this π
Here in France it's very common for people to buy the land themselves and hire in builders to construct their house. Speculative building of whole estates is very rare. But, then, there is twice as much land per head of population here compared to the UK.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didnβt think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Please build a straighter faster road from Brighton/A27 to Folkestone. It will remove millions of cars off London's A25, from all southern countries and even Wales, reducing congestion on the A25 massively.
Make England more efficient!
Fuck Kent's NIMBYs!
