🚨Drivers see less and less what is happening around them!

1997: Honda CR-V drivers could see 68% of the area 10m in front of them

Häresie im #Wort von heute? Oder stimmt die Annahme…?

So much to unpack in this article, but interesting to note that Manchester leader is looking to Vancouver & Melbourne for inspiration. Since moving to MCR from Van 9 years ago, I’ve said it’s 10 years behind Van. 10 year behind the housing crisis, the overdose crisis, unaffordable cultural spaces 1/

This week, we celebrated the official launch of the Institute for Research on Far-Right Extremism (IRex) at the @unituebingen.bsky.social. It was a festive and hopeful occasion - much needed in the current political climate. Thank you to all who came and made it happen. 👏

Just do the math: This system is completely lost and out of control.

Rethinking the Interstates A four-part article series about how the Interstate Highways — a monument to federal technocratic expertise — might be reimagined for an era defined by climate crisis.

Sixty nine years ago today, President Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act, authorizing construction of the Interstate Highway System.
