Routine driving involves ‘hard to ignore’ micro-stressors, researchers say Houston — The daily commute – even in ideal conditions – can be stressful for drivers “for intriguing reasons,” says a team of Texas researchers.

Usually when I survive a driving feat I'm glad I didnt die, and thats the other thing thats different imho.

Cars make cycling unsafe.

But cars make driving unsafe. Our heart rate goes up in a car. Driving is stressful and we pretend it's not

It’s true Duolingo. This <is> a hard exercise…

Dopo un breve detour nella rilettura dell’Orlando di Virginia Woolf, eccomi a chiedermi cosa iniziare. Quasi tutti questi libri sono graditissimi regali 😍

“In class we worked on the conditional tense. "If I were Picasso," said Katalin, "I would love many women." A less beautiful girl wouldnt have said that, I thought. Beautiful people lived in a different word, had different relations with people. From the beginning they were raised for love”

a copy of the novel The Idiot by Elif Batuman in front of a bookshelf filled with various books. The book cover is pale pink with a black rock illustration in the center

The Idiot. Published in 2017

Recommended for an enjoyable, easy, (and well-written) read.

A pair of worn red hiking boots with light green laces. The boots show signs of use: they have been used a lot on mountain trails.

A little dawn test near home. Just 500 meters of climbing through woods and rocks to see how the ankle holds up after the fracture, boots on. Getting ready for a bit of proper fatigue. I can’t wait to ring the 🔔 on my Monte CaBianca!

With extreme rainfalls pouring down in N Germany today, an interesting read about Copenhagen's transformation to a "sponge city" through a combination of nature-based & engineering solutions. Good to see flood adaptation framed as both technical & social infrastructure. e360.yale.edu/features/cop...

The Legal Attack on Superblock Barcelona - City Lab Barcelona In this blog post, I attempt to unpack what this court ruling is about, the legal arguments, and who is behind it. Did the city really do something wrong?  What will happen to the Consell de Cent proj...

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change.

Streets for people are good for business.

It's...interesting... that people are still bearing material consequences for having spoken out about Gaza at the same time country leaders are begrudgingly admitting it was genocide all along

It's not though. We've just been capitalism pilled to think that the only way to get people to do stuff is with money. The whole point of the universal basic income pilots is that humans will actually do cool shit if theyre not terrified of being unable to eat, clothe and house themselves

Quality of scientific papers questioned as academics ‘overwhelmed’ by the millions published Widespread mockery of AI-generated rat with giant penis in one paper brings problem to public attention

Just last week I received 3 paper review requests. The system can’t keep going like this. It’s unpaid labor - and not every scientist is even doing it btw 🧪

The Machine Stops The neurologist Oliver Sacks on steam engines, smartphones, and fearing the future.

The neurologist Oliver Sacks found that the social-media era resembles a neurological catastrophe on a gigantic scale.

che potenza queste parole: "Me ne vado avendo assaporato gli ultimi bocconi di vita in maniera forte e consapevole. Intendetemi: io penso che qualsiasi vita resti degna di essere vissuta anche nelle condizioni più estreme. Ma siamo noi e solo noi a dover scegliere"

Una storia che mi ha toccata nel profondo. Recentemente ho ascoltato con le lacrime agli occhi una delle sue interviste con la meravigliosa Francesca Mannocchi. Una donna forte che ha lottato per essere libera di scegliere. E lo ha raccontato.

And it also means living in a city where a woman can walk or bike alone at night and feel safe, without always having to watch her back

Night view of a quiet urban street with a large bicycle symbol painted on the asphalt, indicating bike priority. It shows a calm and safe atmosphere for cyclists ♥️

Maybe northern Germany isn’t the fanciest place. But quality of life means also going on a date dressed nicely, by bike 🚲, without feeling stressed, because there are safe bike lanes. And where there aren’t, bikes still have priority.

Biking brings happiness (when you feel safe)

Graffiti remembering Carlo Giuliani, reading "Carlo Vive" with an image of his face.

A photograph from 2001 showing he terrace of the hardcore supporters of Turin F.C., Ultras Granata, displaying a banner reading "honor to Carlo Giuliani" over their own.

Today, we remember Carlo Giuliani, murdered in Genoa by the police on this day in 2001, and give thanks for all who fought against the rise of the current authoritarian world order.

May it yet come to an end.

Folle è la parola giusta. Ma quel basso…

Massive Attack announce alliance of musicians speaking out over Gaza Brian Eno, Fontaines DC and Kneecap say group will support those subject to ‘aggressive, vexatious campaigns’ by pro-Israel advocates

Not only were the Massive Attack concerts the best of my life, not only were they among the first to cut the carbon footprint of their shows, they’ve always taken political stands. One of the few to speak out on Gaza
