Odds and Ends #32: My big Kate Middleton theory

Plus a maddening NIMBY story in Margate, but good planning news... in New Zealand.

Programming note: Apologies for the lack of big essay again this week – I’ve got a few things about half complete, but I need a bit more time to let them cook. I’ll try to drop two essay posts next week to make up for it!

Hello! It’s time for Odds and Ends, your mini newsletter-within-a-newsletter featuring some miniature takes from me, and the best links I’ve seen.

This week, I’m going wildly off-brand and am going to tell you my big theory about wtf is up with Kate Middleton, and then mercifully swerve back to my comfort zone and share some more on-brand links, featuring truly excellent decarbonisation news, a win for the YIMBYs, and perhaps the most maddening, self-defeating opposition to change I’ve ever seen.

Plus! A cool video logarithms and the most important space news of the week. So let’s get started!

I’m currently just nine subscriptions away from a nice round number of paid subscribers. So why not hit this special subscribe button here and get 20% an annual subscription? (Offer valid only for the next few days.)

My Kate Theory

I absolutely hate how interested I am in this story.
