I nominate Singapore. Congestion pricing has been in effect for decades along with a heavy tax on vehicle ownership.

@timmiller.bsky.social would love you to have Chris on your podcast. Like you he’s a former Republican. Back in the Obama years his blog was called GOPLifer.

Hey @timmiller.bsky.social glad to see you’re on bsky now. Huge fan of the podcast. Especially love when it’s a “fagfest”. You’ve played a huge role in mainstreaming gay voices.

@joshuakosman.bsky.social, Yuja Wang won me over to the merits of the Ravel Left Hand concerto with the clarity and delicacy of her reading. I would have been more comfortable if she had worn clothes that allowed her to move easily on stage.

@joshuakosman.bsky.social apropos of Järvi and the Mahler 7th. It's the Mahler symphony I most enjoy hearing and it seems to be performed more these days. I revel in the often overloaded counterpoint even when (as I found with Järvi) the reading is a bit superficial.

Me too. Based only on HD's I'd say "nice voice, but the singing leaves me cold."
A bit reminiscent of Margaret Price.
