Connolly will be a principled President with a spine, much like Michael D. Higgins.

Humphreys will be the opposite, blasé-ing her way through the term.

This is pathetic

The standard for advocacy has to be higher than just saying "streets are dangerous".

​We need to be the ones who can explain why a design like this is safe and then demand it. That's the real work that gets good projects built and I'd like to see more safe streets advocates learn more about design.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

AMEN

Yup yup

This is what creating "psychological friction" for drivers looks like. The changes in pavement height, color, and texture break a driver's autopilot mode. It sends a clear message that "You are entering a space designed for people. Slow down. Be alert."

Design details do the work that signs can't.

Gen Z protests are shaking Morocco. Here's what to know Protests have erupted in Morocco, driven by young people demanding change. For a week, demonstrations have taken place in over a dozen cities, highlighting issues like corruption and lack of opportunity.

Demonstrations in more than a dozen cities have jolted Morocco for a week straight, with the young people behind them showing they can translate digital discontent into a real-world movement that authorities can’t ignore.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

Italy's largest union, with over 5.5 million workers, has called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla.

And smaller Italian unions have said they will join CGIL's general strike.

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Mo Chara, soeaking as the case against him is thrown out today. #FreePalestine

It's almost as if, before the Gaza famine was officially recognised, it was a story, as media organisations could generate controversy by hosting Israeli government spokespeople and our own rightwing blowhards, insisting it was all a fabrication. Now that it can no longer be denied ... no story.

Government has been commandeered by Corporation.

Instead of working for normal people, we are all being led to believe that by helping business, business will help us.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds a lot like trickle-down to me.
