“This is the new, beautiful social housing in England, built to the ideal environmental recommendations called the ‘Passivhaus standard’ (yes, Passive House, but German, which makes it even worse). Local elected officials are proudly promoting them as a model of the new way. Why are the windows so tiny and sparse, you might ask. Well, it’s for the environment, silly! You see, windows let out warmth in the winter, and they let in sun in the summer, so they are bad news. We must make them super tiny and rare, according to Passivhaus, to save on energy costs. Truly, the best argument against white supremacists is to look at what white people are doing right now. Really look at those tiny windows. This is Late Anglo architectural style. This is the White Plan. Late Anglo is a return to a darkened hovel, eating grasshoppers probably. There is no ornamentation. There is only guilt. The people who design the hovel also live in the hovel, and hate themselves. There is a little patch of light, and soon even that will be bricked off for the inevitable Passivhaus Uberbetterhaus. I do a little dance and thank my ancestors for fleeing these places.”

“A socialist model, as opposed to a welfare model, would mean having the government own and run the farms, food-processing plants, and grocery stores in the same way the government owns and operates the government schools, in which the teachers and administrators are state employees teaching that which the state mandates. Such a socialist enterprise would need to attempt to centrally plan the production, processing, and distributing of food in accordance with what the state judges to be the proper set of priorities.… New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s imbecilic idea for government-run grocery stores did not come out of nowhere, though it apparently has not occurred to him to ask anybody who has lived under such a system how well that worked.”

📯 A Proclamation

Hear ye!

The hearth has been lit.

The hall doors stand open.

The bard has taken his place beside the fire.

Today begins The Saga of Pickett Shieldpaw—the tale of the smallest of the Spear Dogs, whose courage proved that the greatest heroes are not always the biggest.

Come, gather close.

Read the stories.

Hear the songs.

Walk beside Pickett as he keeps his watch, finds faithful friends, and learns that every act of kindness is its own kind of courage.

The Hall of Hounds awaits.

The saga begins today.

“There is something inherent about human accountability that you cannot get with AI. That’s not up to the AI companies—that’s up to the downstream organizations who are deploying AI, and, if it becomes necessary, regulation to insist that this be the case. This is what we’ve done historically with many technologies that are very powerful but dangerous. I like the analogy of a crane operator. The crane can do the heavy lifting in construction—we don’t need human physical labor. But even though we could, we don’t let the crane operate autonomously. We put an operator in it, and the crane becomes a massive amplifier of human ability. That’s the model we think is the right one, and we can choose to keep it that way. We can’t guarantee that it will be that way, but I don’t think it’s a matter of the tech companies themselves deciding.”

Every summer, like clockwork, Britain has the same conversation.

“We are making ourselves poorer in the name of saving the planet, while the planet continues to warm because the countries that are actually responsible for warming it have no intention of following our example. We are then unable to afford the adaptation measures that would make us resilient to the warming we failed to prevent. And we top it all off by telling people that wanting to be cool in the middle of a heatwave is an act of environmental vandalism. This isn’t science. It’s a cult. The sensible position — the one that will never get you on the BBC — is this: Britain cannot stop climate change. Britain can adapt to it. Adaptation requires prosperity. Prosperity requires abandoning the fantasy that making ourselves poorer and colder in winter and hotter in summer is a meaningful contribution to the future of the planet.”
