Pop Tart

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Agghh this makes me so sad. The ruby community was so special and now it has been functionally taken over by techno fascists (DHH, Shopify). How can we build and sustain open source infrastructure that isn’t beholden to capitalism?

How long before autism is blamed on witches?

Imagine if the US had just rebranded universal healthcare as a “loyalty program” like frequent flier miles. You earn ”health points” for every day you live in the US that you can spend on “health rewards”. People would eat that shit up

El Poblenou necesita un nombre “hip”. ¿Te gusta “PoNo?”

Ride-hailing services will slowly disappear in Barcelona due to new taxi law Drivers to install location-based device to guarantee taxis and VTCs do not commit any irregularities

I love to see this! I also love that anywhere I am in Barcelona, I can usually hail a taxi quickly. It was sad to see the death of taxis in Chicago and frustrating to find a cab in Chicago only to have the driver refuse to use the meter and charge Uber rates

Either I’m really grounding into the Spanish speed of life or I’m just old because I’m really into this downtempo/balearic beat

The real solution to time travel paradoxes

In The Jetsons they never explain why this white family had to move up into a towering sky apartment zoom around in their flying cars. What did they leave behind on the ground? Was it the fallout and wreckage of a nuclear war or just redlining and suburban sprawl?

Happy Dreamcast 909 day to all those who celebrate!

this is the only day of the year you can combine these japanese electronics

Oh gawd

I honestly liked the look of Sagrada Familia better without the central spire when I saw it 13y ago

I saw a man wander out into a bike lane while looking at his phone and get run over by a cyclist on a bicing. This happened 7m from me. I'm pretty sure he will have a concussion. Be careful out there! I think that goes double for cyclists. They are the ones with the most "power" in these situations

i constantly think about this post

"It is important that the EU doesn't yield on tech regulation because this [issue] is so fundamentally close to all aspects related to sovereignty and would create a dangerous precedent."

Diez años de la ‘crisis de los migrantes’ en Europa: la derecha busca el antídoto ante los ultras Moderados y conservadores endurecen sus políticas inspirándose en Dinamarca, país gobernado por los socialdemócratas y que ha neutralizado a los radicales

Center/center-left strategy in Europe sees Denmark as a model on countering the right by going hardline on immigration while championing socialist policy. But can they really outflank the right? Interesting survey numbers too on European opinions on migration elpais.com/internaciona...

A ‘Kill Switch’ Could Shutter Europe’s Access to US Tech. Here’s How. | TechPolicy.Press Trevor H. Rudolph discusses European fears around the US government cutting off access to US tech and the policy tools that could make it happen.

“Framed as a proverbial ‘kill switch’ by many in Brussels, the debate has shifted from whether it could be triggered to when. This, in turn, has prompted renewed calls by the EU and member states to advance the continent’s “technology sovereignty,” writes Trevor H. Rudolph.

¡Mi primera llamar de spam en español! I got my first telemarketing call in Spanish 😊. It’s like one of those weird gender euphoric moments when a dude ignores you but instead it’s settling into my new home.

It’s interesting to me how Spanish writing tells you so much about how to pronounce things. There’s ¿ which says “intone as a question” and ‘ which tells you which syllable to emphasize and ñ which tells you to pronounce it “ny”. English is just like “here are some letters good luck!”

I had one of these until the CCD went on the fritz and turned everything a shade of pink. It had a larger CCD which supposedly meant clearer photos plus a carl-zeiss lens and one of the first IR/laser auto focuses. Basically a higher grade point and shoot. But yeah the pivoting body was pretty silly

"If we die, let us know that we are happy and firm, and let us transmit in our name that we are real people..."

I resent that I am still subjected to the audacity of busibody Americans spreading harmful misinfo even when living in Europe & from a stranger (she said we met at an event) in an unsolicited DM, too. 🤦

For the 1,000th time, you can still receive SSDI benefits while living abroad (in most cases).

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

As climate change gets worse, everyone should take a page out of Spain’s book. In the hottest weeks introduce shorter work weeks, entire months off. Reduce activity to keep people cool AND generate less CO2. Live in the present moment. Take a nap. Heal from capitalism.

Yes very bomb

Technically a Caesar cipher is military-grade encryption. They don’t mention *which* military

If you sat several computers down to scan a bunch of cat images, they could collectively come up with abstract vector models of what makes a “cat.” They wouldn’t spell out the letters C A T but instead a vector. What if they could communicate that vector between them and build a “social contract?”

I am not a philosopher or a neuroscientist but the question I keep having is, how is our “experience” and “meaning” more valid than a computer’s? IOW how do we know our brains aren’t just complicated matrix transformations?
