I just finished Lewis Mumford’s magisterial exploration of city life.
Published in 1962, it has some of the sharpest takedowns of car-centric society I’ve ever read.
Mumford: “We have sold our urban birthright for a sorry mess of motor cars. As poor a bargain as Esau’s pottage.”

Good, it is very practical if some more is broken and you need to contact your insurance company.

UK police arresting a bunch of old people under "terrorism" charges on order of the government for merely protesting against the israeli perpetrated genocide is something you'd expect from a regime under like idk, mussolini (shoutout colbrelli)
but no, it's UK labour. completely cooked country

Statligt avlönad högerinfluencer hänvisar till bolagsköpt högerlobbyist i stöd för ett pågående folkmord. Det här är vad du får för dina skattepengar!

Globalt investerar Amazon, Microsoft, Meta och Alphabet en summa motsvarande halva Sveriges BNP år 2025 på att bygga elslukande datacenter. Dubbelt så mkt som fjol.
Om 5 år väntas jättarnas serverhallar förbruka lika mkt el som Japan. Ingen klimatkris här inte!

It is a ultra mountainbike race, actually i think it was cool that Kate Cortney made a early brakeaway which hold all the way to the finishline. With the new best time ever.

Timeline of Vietnam's North-South high-speed railway project
The Vietnamese government plans to begin construction of the North-South high-speed railway in December 2026, with completion targeted for 2035.
Vietnam ska bygga snabbtåg som ska gå från norr till söder i 350 kilometer i timmen. 10 år från beslut till drift får svenska investeringar att framstå som oändligt långsamma.
Vi slipper dessutom momentet ”clearing bombs and mines”.

Semester har blivit en klassfråga – alla ska kunna åka tåg i Europa
Sveriges regering eldar på den ekonomiska krisen och bidrar till semesterfattigdom.
”Du ska kunna kliva på tåget i Göteborg eller Norrköping och vakna nästa morgon i Paris eller Prag.
I vårt Europa är det billigare och smidigare att ta tåget än att välja flyget.”

Det underlättar med fungerande ugn.
Jag har testat några gånger med havrebröd som är gott de två första dagarne (helst medans det fortfarande är varmt), men har legat lite lågt nu när det har varit varmt.
