This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Realtors know that, in many parts of the country, if you educate potential buyers about the climate risk they could face, the housing market will collapse.
In related news, Zillow has just stopped reporting the climate risk of properties they are advertising.

I think it most likely the Dim Philby leaks came from Russia. But if they came from Europe it’s a clever way to tell the US that Europe has started going it alone on intel.
Keep in mind one of most important points of leverage is intel sharing.
