YOU WANT TO KNOW ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA

You get to interact with humans you'd likely not have contact with IRL/meatspace because our worlds in meatspaces are limited by time/money/distance/access.

DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW HOW FUCKING COOL IT IS HOW MANY SCIENTISTS ARE ON HERE

What if every city that talked about “Vision Zero” actually meant it?

#VisionZero

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Ozzy Osbourne died this week at 76. He was 21 in 1970 when he sang this trippy song for Black Sabbath's second album. Very different from their usual metal, it sounds like a mellow number from one of that era's psychedelic/prog rock bands, like Traffic. See you around.

“There’s a character named Locke! You like philosophy Len, I bet you’ll love this show!” It’s strangely consistent, dunno if anyone’s ever written about “negative aesthetics” or something like that

Lost for me has always been one of those touchstones where if someone likes it, I can pretty much guarantee I’ll hate anything else they recommend

Bridge to Terabithia I think

I remember being at a heavily-British tourist area in Tenerife in like 2004 where one restaurant had a sign saying, proudly, “NO SPANISH FOOD SERVED HERE!”

it is probably the opposite of the intent of the scene that whenever i watch the sequence when joey pants meets with agent smith in the matrix, i get a genuine craving for a steak

This is the future of power everywhere and it’s really exciting.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

If you want anecdotes, downtown is better than it was when I moved here ten years ago. Basically zero tourists ever make it up to that single block of Pandora. How about an article about Beacon Hill Park?

Hard to express what complete bullshit this is about Victoria. Just complete bullshit. There are some serious problems like in any city but the downtown is thriving, there are how many new towers being built for people to live in, there’s like what, a million tourists a year?

“If you design a city for cars, it’s fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city, it WORKS BETTER FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING DRIVERS.” — Brent Toderian

FACT: The more people choosing to walk, bike & take public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS.

Anyone claiming that less car dependency is a “war on cars” doesn’t understand how cities (or geometry) work.

It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

No but like fr though fun fact ive lived in paris since 2014 and there used to be days where the air quality was deemed critical, like.. every few months ? And on those days all public transport was free

And now that i think of it.. i havent seen that happen in years

I have this little saying, that the world makes a lot more sense, if you take the rich concept we have of what it means to be a child, and just modify it by taking out the age limit. I started reading the Wall Street Journal lately and feel quite validated archive.is/Jqsu1

yeah man, please make my 85 year
