For today—the 70th anniversary of SEVEN SAMURAI—went back to screenwriter Shinobu Hashimoto’s memoir to read about the moment he and Kurosawa came up with the idea for the film while learning about the late Muromachi period

Both releasing land near Tube stations for homes and more industrial land in the green belt are good ideas, but industrial uses + jobs are needed throughout the city. Cannibalising industrial land for residential uses is not a sensible way to deliver the homes London needs.

Al-Qaeda reported on the massacre on February 28. Since then they have regularly provided statements later legitimised by independent investigations of outside parties. It's an achievement to make al-Qaeda the most sane actor in the conflict. x.com/saladinaldronn…
Western Africa at large is rapidly falling into a descent to failed, brutally authoritarian dictators and swathes of jihadist and non-state controlled anarchy. A large part of this is brutal regimes in the region rejecting governance and embracing self-serving corruption.

London, the city with probably the worst housing crisis in the world, has miles upon miles of places like this. Extremely low density suburbs or single-story corrugated iron shed storage, literally less than 5 minutes from a Tube station in Zone 1. It's genuinely wild.

Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.
There is an assumption that letting Ukraine go will lead to a rebalance from Europe to Asia. I am skeptical this will happen.
The question I ask the crowd that believes US support for Ukraine is a fundamental error: do the demands put on American attention, arms, and budgets by NATO increase, or do they decrease, if the war ends not in Ukrainian victory or stalemate, but Ukrainian defeat?

An amusing anecdote, but it’s definitely not Wellington - the tone is all wrong. W’s sarcasm was subtler & more biting. Which shows two things: 1) it’s very hard to match W’s tone - he had an unique way with words 2) people want to believe this sort of thing is true of W 🧵

@CameraLeon @Iromg I did exactly the same story back in 2016 and earned £11.20 back then.
@StorySlug @RottenInDenmark The only people “suffering” from an “oversupply” of housing are landlords and investment firms that have bought up a ton of housing and now can’t rent it out for as much $$
@sam_d_1995 @RottenInDenmark The framing of that headline and subhead are wild, though. "Nosedive," "oversupply," like... do you want people to be able to live in your city or don't you?
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
so many leftists are just allergic to power "the most popular socialist in the country came to my protest, and that's bad"
@michaelbd @WASPmexicano @Bhess Interesting. Why did Ukraine want to build up its military? Why did Russia believe it would have this military essentially defeated in about 3 days?
Ukraine faced the opening of the full-scale invasion w/out modern armor, artillery systems, combat aircraft, or long-range strike capacity. None of those came until months into the war. NATO had not created a militarily threat. Instead, RU, thought UA would be done by day 3.
@WASPmexicano @Bhess correct. Once the US started funding a massive military buildup in Ukraine, I think Putin’s perception was that Ukraine was “de facto” becoming a a NATO member. NATO’s response has mostly confirmed this.
Imagine living in the year of our lord 2024 is still believing the war in Ukraine was caused by "NATO expansion".
Amazing things can happen when supply is allowed to respond to demand.
Here's a great visualization: Austin's rent relative to the country (@zillow's measure) is now the lowest it has been in at least a decade.
