Modern cargo bikes don't replace bicycles, they replace cars. If you haven't ridden since childhood, the capability will shock you.
Groceries are the perfect gateway errand for daily mobility. The bikes are ready. We just need the infrastructure.
"World's most important mayoral election" might sound like an exaggeration, but it isn't.
The standard Paris has set for public space provision shows what is possible for cities everywhere, and this election will determine whether that positive trend will continue. Good luck @egregoire.bsky.social.

First (probably incomplete) thoughts on incomplete projects.
some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing
People’s electric bills are tripling and quadrupling because of data centers.
We can’t buy RAM or Hard Drives because of data centers.
Black communities are suffocating in generator exhaust because of data centers.
And OpenAI is raising $100 BILLION in venture capital to accelerate it all.
For those who want joy... deadline approaching with intent

Die SVP ist die Partei, die Kriegsverbrecher Putin unterstützt, dem kriminellen Trump nacheifert, bekennende Neonazis in ihren Reihen hat und mehr verurteile Straftäter beherbergt, als jede andere Partei.
Kein Vertreter dieser Bande ist wählbar!
Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

Maybe @juliebillaud.bsky.social might have an idea?
majorly crushing article reviews today... TGIF.

Oh yeah: submitted (yesterday, w 1 day to spare)
@davidbauer.ch vielleicht was fürs Filet?
Excellent stuff!
Great schemes though sadly not (or only exceptionally) leading to permanent/TT positions.
seems I work best under pressure, eh? #almostdone
When ppl are like “if AI is so bad for you why does everyone use it” I’m like oh ya why would that be 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
