TIME IS NOT TO ESCAPE BUT TO FIGHT THE PROBLEM OF AIR POLLUTION!

CYCLING FOR DAILY COMMUTES CAN PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THIS WAR AGAINST AIR POLLUTION.

I was utterly surprised to find the level of accountability and transparency in Australia. They inform more than month in advance when train routes will have repair works. And when they shut for repair, they arrange replacement buses that run parallel to railway trucks. Fully free.

The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

Just a reminder that raging against injustice is a great thing especially today, especially now and forever.

No

All those people who expressed righteous outrage at Ishit Bhatt's behavior in KBC should be 100x more righteously angry at this ABVP leader slapping a professor, no? Consider the fact that RSS, ABVP's parent org., is a flagbearer of Bharatiya sabhyata.

Maturity is realising that the quality of your relations is more important than the quantity.

Yudkowsky is not wrong. Superintelligence is an exitinction-level threat. It's a bigger threat than climate change, which in its worst form "merely" sets humans back to the dark ages.

Unlike climate, there is a clear solution: build an off switch.

India vs Germany: German woman reveals what makes life better in India – from punctual trains and 5G connectivity to vegetarian food | - The Times of India Trending News: A German resident in Mumbai shared her positive views on India. She praised Indian Railways for punctuality and affordability. Widespread 4G and 5G ne

A German praised India for its railways, widespread internet availability, digital workplaces, wide variety of veg and vegan foods, the sunlight...I can think of many more, like digital payment systems, quick availability of doctor appointments and the warmth of people.

This is entirely BJP's doing: degrading a devotional call-out like 'Jai Shri Ram' into everything it isn't - a war cry, a confrontational shout, etc. thereby removing any and every devotion from it.

The Mekong Delta’s climate defences are failing Infrastructure projects to keep out seawater have been plagued by failures. Experts say Vietnam must shift from hard fixes to nature-based solutions

"Scientists warn that if current trends in sea level rise continue, more than 45% of the Delta could be submerged within decades, displacing millions and jeopardising Vietnam’s food security"

💔 "He designed and led literacy programs...tutored hundreds of fellow prisoners working toward high school diplomas. He became the first person in the 150-year history of the facility to earn a master’s degree, completing his coursework by correspondence with a 4.0 GPA."

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

Incredible. Exonerated after 43 years of being falsely imprisoned, rather than releasing him to his awaiting family, the police released him to ICE, beginning deportation proceedings.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

NEW STUDY ALERT: MIT researchers claim ChatGPT causes "cognitive debt" in students. But their methodology has some serious red flags 🚩
Let me break down why we should be skeptical of these dramatic conclusions. 🧵

There is too much shit going on in the world.

Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Manipur, Xinjiang, Myanmar.

Speak up.

I just think that as an artist it’s important to give your audience time to miss your work. Like disappear into the woods for a year or so, have new experiences and then come back with something that is made of those experiences.

I often find it puzzling that cycling is seen merely as a trend or hobby.

Isn’t it clear that cycling is not only an efficient mode of transportation but also a means to stay fit, enhance environmental health, and improve the livability of our cities?

Use bicycles for everyday commutes!

Encouraging and enabling your employees to commute sustainably can make a big impact.

At the DCE, not only do all of our employees travel to work by bike and public transit, but we also have a network full of organisations facilitating the same thing.

Once again, I am saying that letting a group of extremely antisocial tech bros make critical decisions about our collective data and all human interaction online is a very bad idea.

Love that we now have ChatGPT psychosis, a whole new mental illness deliberately invented by ONE company so that they can profit whilst they lobby for even less regulations. Meanwhile said company has not even made a profit. This is such a RIDICULOUS TIMELINE.

My family survived both Partition and the anti-Sikh pograms of ‘84 and I just want to say that every single person who I know that has survived did this by holding on to hope, fighting hard for survival and imagining a safe, better future. Despair was not a choice available to them.

A happy book says: I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you! A smiling drink says: And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read! A gleeful phone adds: Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!! Hours later... The drink and book lie untouched. The phone is out of view but a bubble reads: Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll The book says “I hate that guy.”

As individuals, humans have strong values about not hurting fellow humans, not stealing or cheating etc..

..but strangely, when it involves groups of people - tribes or nations - then killing, destroying, stealing land and property in the name of war is considered fair game.

The richest country in the world wants to give a 15 to 25% price advantage to local products over imported goods in its own market, while forcing zero tariff for its products in foreign markets.

Sounds fair. The rich should get richer !! 🙄

Art imitates life imitates art...

This seems to be the first case of a company developing a feature because ChatGPT is incorrectly telling people it exists.

I know it’s not everything, but it’s something: how each of us, in our little spheres of work & community, can help foster & sustain places of care, decency, & intelligence even when powerful people celebrate venal, coarse, mendacious practices. What a gift, to be able to do something so worthwhile

When they do get bail, who would come to welcome them with garlands?
