Evening crew! Some Monday evening listening!

New YIMBY Pod! - I tell @mjrobbins.com why TfL is on a countdown to disaster - And the excellent @jonworth.eu tells us about his epic #CrossBorderRail trip across the EU (and what it tells us about the state of rail integration). Listen/subscribe here! www.abundancepod.com/p/tfls-count...

Some lunchtime listening!

A quick Sunday morning rant on the borderline hysterical reaction from some quarters to basic adult advice. martinrobbins.substack.com/p/dont-panic...

Apologies for the source (takes cunts to know cunts) but Richard Tice's wedding seems like it was scripted by fucking Dante.

Think the digital security stories recently have been ominous? Well, it’s about to get worse.

For sale. Solar panels. Barely used.

Very frustrating for discourse participation purposes how A24 isn't releasing You Can See Everything here for another month.

These weirdos are going to end up like modern Amish people.

Could building data centres make electricity cheaper? Surprisingly, yes. - More demand dilutes the big fixed costs (i.e. grid) that make bills expensive - If we let them, they'll pay £££ to jump the grid queue - They can build their own power supply www.samdumitriu.com/p/build-the-...

If you have an exact digital replica of your factory and you can accurately simulate it, you can model and experiment for much cheaper, monitor operations and train staff more safely. But I guess there are fewer reposts and likes explaining that.

New YIMBY Pod! In which I get surprisingly mad about the fact that we're spending *millions* on *not* generating electricity. Plus guest @adamtranter.bsky.social explains to me why pavement robots are bad, actually. www.abundancepod.com/p/were-spend...

🚨 Ireland is freeing its version of the Postcode Address File! 🚨

“In places like London, robotaxis can plug the gaps that public transport still does not reach. And in the countryside, autonomy could be a lifeline.” @jamesomalley.co.uk makes the progressive case for driverless cars in Arguably. www.arguably.uk/p/driverless...

Imagine buying so much Amol Rajan merch that paying £299 a year for a 30% discount makes financial sense

🚨 Ireland is freeing its version of the Postcode Address File! 🚨

Once again, out-of-touch elite @mjrobbins.com is on the wrong side of public opinion.

“The invention of this technology is a huge opportunity for social justice”. @jamesomalley.co.uk writes on why progressives should learn to love driverless cars. www.arguably.uk/p/driverless...
