It would but not where I live. There are no bike lanes and no safe way to bike in general but especially in winter that can last for four or five months. :( Add to it hurricane strength winds and I just want a bus system that works. A guy can hope.

As an EV driver, this is a GREAT thread, I would much prefer to have options other than having to own a car. For example, I have no way to get to work without one. And a trip to the nearest hardware store would take me about two hours on public transit (I live in a city centre). That has to change.

I haven't, unfortunately. So far, just basic editing and black and white conversions and I have to say I really like it and the workflow feels very intuitive. Their tutorials are great, but very studio and fashion focused which is annoying, but still helpful.

Trying to decide whether to temporarily block everybody posting spring pictures from other places in the world or to vicariously live through them for the next two or three months. This winter has really overstayed its welcome...

Europe’s Noise Capital Tries to Turn Down the Volume To combat the ill effects of urban noise pollution, Paris is deploying automated sensors and cracking down on the loudest vehicles.

“The effort to quiet Paris complements the wider campaign to make Paris greener, cleaner & less car-dependent, which include vehicle restrictions in the center, crackdowns on polluting vehicles, & an ambitious expansion of bike networks. Those have cut the city’s average noise level by 2 decibels.”

Slowly killing research at Memorial University – The Independent A university is not its buildings, and it doesn’t exist to serve private-sector interests. It is about the pursuit of knowledge.

"Each cut sends the same message, never stated outright but unmistakable: research not directly tied to immediate economic outcomes is dispensable."

My neighbour and I came up with a new exhibition sport for the #olympics next time they are in Canada. Snow shovelling. A speed event, street free style, and doubles. Commit a foul - a plow comes. Help a player and there is a chance someone with a snowblower shows up. A quintessential Canadian game.

The UK universities cutting geography have lost their bearings From climate change to geopolitics, the knowledge, skills and insights of geographers have never been more relevant, say five professors

Geography's 'combination of STEM, social science and arts and humanities can sit uneasily within university faculty systems, heightening the risk that we are dismantled into separate components.' 1/2

Looks much more comfortable than the morgue that is NightJet from Amsterdam to Vienna. Also... Railway journalist - that sounds like the most awesome job on the planet.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Who goes Nazi? was written 85 years ago. You should try it at the next party or a meeting: harpers.org/archive/1941...

After the anti-ICE rally at the Minnesota State Capitol organized by CAIR, organizers gathered to pray and share a meal at a local Somali restaurant.

When the crowds leave, the work continues. Minnesotans are still here, still organizing, still pushing forward to get ICE out.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Near 26th & Nicollet, clashes erupted following the k*lling of Alex Jeffrey Pretti involving federal agents.

Tear gas and other non-lethal munitions were deployed. People were detained as smoke filled the streets.

Screenshot of headline regarding the impact of electric vehicles on the auto industry and the future of transportation.

Never forget, the electric car is here to save the car industry, not the planet.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Mark Carney just shook up the world His speech in Davos might be the most important one ever delivered by a Canadian prime minister. Its consequences will determine his place in history — and ours.
