THIS STARTER PACK IS FINALLY FULL! I’ve been very selective with the last 20-30 or so inclusions in my very first starter pack, on Urbanism & City-Building. Check out the new additions, and I recommend following everyone here.

So now I guess I’ll start gradually building PART 2! #UrbanistShoutOut

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Arthur C. Clarke

Twelve Communication Traps Democrats and Progressives Must Avoid Dr. George Lakoff outlines the major pitfalls of political framing

The Misunderestimating Trap: Many progressives think that people who vote conservative are just stupid, especially those who vote against their economic self-interest.

Some believe that if we tell them the real economic facts, they will change how they vote. 🧵

O pesadelo da espera no pseudo terminal do Marquês de Pombal Não é bem um terminal no Marquês de Pombal, para esperar os autocarros. Atrasos, paragens pequenas, poucos bancos são a realidade.

Porque há tantos carros em Lisboa? Talvez a resposta também esteja nos pormenores: à chuva e ao sol, há quem espere horas num terminal improvisado da Carris Metropolitana que não chega para as encomendas. É mesmo no Marquês de Pombal. E as queixas são muitas. Reportagem. E como podia ser diferente.

Lisboetas puseram bancos de madeira nas paragens de autocarro sem assento As novas paragens de autocarro em Lisboa não têm assento. Dois lisboetas construíram bancos de madeira para as pessoas à espera do autocarro.

As paragens de autocarro estavam sem assentos e um grupo de ativistas urbanos resolveu emendar o assunto: construíram bancos e puseram-nos lá. Foram um sucesso entre os lisboetas cansados.
