Green parties/hippies around the world hate nuclear power for the same reason they hate cities, which is that their understanding of ecology is not based on efficient resource use but on aesthetic and lifestyle concerns

The New York Times is giving a murder their “both-sides” treatment. What the hell is the matter with you?!? Someone kills a person with their car, and your reaction is to be like, “Some people think murder is bad, but others don’t like bike lanes, so 🤷‍♂️.”
Death of Cyclist in Paris Lays Bare Divide in Mayor’s War Against Cars Paul Varry was run over on a city street in what prosecutors suspect was a deliberate act of road rage, as bikers and drivers choose sides. It sent a shock through Paris, a city striving to transform itself into one of the great cycling metropolises in the world: a bicycle rider, crushed under the wheels of an SUV in a bike lane just a few yards from La Madeleine, the landmark neoclassical church, in what prosecutors suspect was a deliberate act of road rage. A murder investigation has been opened, and last week, Mayor Anne Hidalgo led the Paris City Council in a minute of silence for the cyclist, Paul Varry, a 27-year-old who was also a cycling advocate. Ms. Hidalgo, a member of the Socialist Party, delivered an emotional speech in which she signaled she would continue to roll out her famously aggressive policies that aim to drastically reduce the role of the automobile in Parisian life. “I am truly angry,” she said. “The future does not belong to cars.” An outpouring of emotion over Mr. Varry’s Oct. 15 death has put a spotlight on the dangers facing cyclists in a city that has seen an explosion in bikes and cycling lanes in recent years. But it has also underscored the frustrations that motorists increasingly feel in a place that has chosen to limit the movement, speed and parking options of cars. In recent weeks, as cycling organizations, spurred by the death of Mr. Varry, have demanded more protections from aggressive drivers, others have complained about Parisian bikers themselves, some of whom have earned a reputation as dangerous risk-takers.

The Harris campaign may have (*snort*) “enthusiastic volunteers” to knock on doors, but only a Silicon Valley tech genius like Musk can come up with “kidnapping” as a GOTV effort. We’re goin to Mars baby!!!

With democracy in peril, it must be the Democrat’s first order of business to force Martin Scorcese to release the SCTV reunion documentary.
