I asked @Femi_Sorry why he wants the UK to rejoin the European Union. His answers captures what millions of people in the UK feel. We should listen to them and say it loud and clear: We want you back. Our door remains open. 🇪🇺❤️🇬🇧

Tackling NIMBYs head on has been an abject failure. You don't smash them — sooner or later they smash you. We need a different approach. And there’s a weirdly obvious solution to fighting NIMBY: 'stuffing their mouths with gold'. Sam Bowman (Sam Bowman) and I discuss his 'housing theory of everything' and how to actually fix our catastrophically busted planning permission system on the 80,000 Hours Podcast. Also: how avant-garde architects are the great villains of our age, how to tackle terrible incumbent institutions, Europe's need for nuclear, Ozempic remaining highly underrated, and how progress studies stays sane. 1:21 We can't seem to build anything 3:15 And it's ruining people's lives 8:28 The housing theory of everything 17:03 The UK is the world's worst 35:47 Why almost no progress fixing it 43:11 NIMBYs are often harmed by development 54:50 Solution #1: Street votes 1:18:47 Will street votes come to the US 1:24:21 Solution #2: Stuffing mouths with gold 1:43:42 The most important policy setting you've never heard of 1:57:06 Solution #3: Opt-outs 2:10:32 How to make it happen 2:17:30 Making old institutions die a gradual death 2:31:11 The evil of modern architecture and the importance of beauty 2:44:14 The north needs nuclear 3:01:43 Ozempic and "the overweight theory of everything" 3:17:08 How progress studies has avoided online madness I'd been hoping to interview Sam Bowman for years and he's the guest I always dreamed he would be. Transcript and links on the 80,000 Hours site, and a much higher res 4K version on YT (can't upload full quality to Twitter sadly).

🇬🇧Ed Davey: “Trump has no interest in Venezuelan democracy. This is about Trump believing he can grab anything he wants and get away with it, this time oil. We know what happens when an American president launches an illegal war under the pretext of an imminent threat. It's why we oppose the Iraq war and why we condemn Trump today...”

WILD: #49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan says that #Seahawks QB Sam Darnold was on TORADOL and that is why he was able to play through his oblique injury. “It takes a while for the Toradol to kick in, so we knew Sam would be fine once kickoff came.” 👀

Issue 23 of Works in Progress should arrive with subscribers later this week (or early next). In it, we tackle the big questions: - How does a woman's fertility really decline (and why are we so wrong about it)? - How did Australia actually stop the boats? - How did Britain go from being an early adopter of cheap nuclear power to a place that builds it slower and more expensively than anywhere else? - Was ASML the product of successful industrial strategy? - Why did it take so long to invent the first bus? - Are autonomous vehicles going to cause gridlock on streets? - What makes neotraditional Hindu temples so cool? Pieter Garicano, Aria Schrecker and I sat down to give you a sneak preview of all this and MORE coming in the upcoming next issue of our magazine.

Why has it taken people so long to come to this conclusion. Close the borders, turn back the boats and deport those here illegally. We have a right to live safely in our own country 🇬🇧

Alex Bowman's onboard/side of the story. The 48 team wanted Shane van Gisbergen to do them a favor and give Bowman the exit of the corner and asked spotter Josh Williams about it. Williams relayed to SVG, but SVG kept running his line and Bowman couldn't get the drive off as a result. "WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS GIVE US THE FUCKING EXIT! LIKE, WHY IS IT SO HARD WITH THESE CHEVROLETS!?" Bowman also felt Jesse Love (Austin Dillon's RCR teammate) was blocking to hold him up, but that was more of an offhand comment.

WTF are we doing? Why are we raising their flag when they burn ours? Why are we raising their flag when they wish Death To Canada? Why are we raising their flag when they clearly hate our way of life? This is Canada. We have Canadian values. Not Muslim values. Remember that! Mark Carney & Olivia Chow are an absolute disgrace to our country and we can't continue to allow this shit to happen. This is a slap in the face to Canadians. Back in the day when other countries would fly their flag on other lands typically meant you've been conquered. So I guess doing it willingly means we are surrendering! This country has become so weak. If we continue to allow this to happen we won't have a country to fight for. We are losing it piece by piece everyday!

This is how the civil war begins. Britain 🇬🇧 Britain First were having a rally in Manchester. The man is on an e-bike contacting his mates to confront the protestors. With the Labour Party and two-tier policing, we don't stand a chance.

I sat down with Frank Wright during the action day organised by Restore Britain’s Epping Forest branch on Saturday. We discussed how his life has changed since his viral interview with VoxPopuli in Makerfield, why he supports Restore Britain, the problems Britain faces today and his advice for people who want to express themselves more eloquently.
