It reads like it was generated by AI but is just a pos human
"I had not realized ... that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people." That is such a good quote
What in gods name does someone do with 5k+ sq ft
Heard from a colleague spending a few months in the Netherlands. "Went on a 35-mile bike ride today, entirely on bike paths, through all kinds of landscapes. Turns out I love biking, I'm just scared of biking with cars." 😢
A lot riding on the assertions that IP HARD and AI OBVIOUSLY THE FUTURE to reach conclusions
Ugly
This sucks
Finally
What a baby!!
This is why bollards are such good modal filters. Walkers and bikers can pass through, cars cannot
EV market here seems ruined by American obsession with SUVs. Like instead of a market of cheapish, small simple electric cars for like local trips, its the same massive SUVs, which are now even heavier bc of the battery.
Absolutely. Prick is worse then being a dick.
Why it gotta be dense like that??
Why is the core so far away
The reminder of what a bike looks like after its been run over by a car on this road.
We're almost out, we just have to hold on for a few more years and we can fix things
Finally
Soul crushing
We wouldn't even house the homeless for a fraction of this cost. The money is always there.
I feel like some people treat restaurant service as if its always like a 5star luxury hotel or spa that aims to take care of you completely. Unless the service is downright atrocious, you got good food. Mission accomplished
Engagement bump (+$0.00000001 Engagement Bucks)
Ah yes, who could forget the obvious distinction between being an antisemite and "creating the feeling of safe harbor for far-right elements who unabashedly or in coded language express antisemitic sentiments"
Keep going
We all hate the time change, and this is your semi-annual reminder that permanent standard time is better than permanent daylight time www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...
One of my "favorite" games is calculating the avg mph. 27 miles in 93 minutes is equivalent to 17mph. Which is basically the speed that an ebike can sustain for miles, regardless of hills. So despite the $$ poured into high speed auto infra, its peak-use time fails to beat an ebike
Why does he look like that
This is so nice looking. Its nice that its all mostly flat. The cycleway and walkway are basically the same space but different color/material. Not like american sidewalks that are interrupted by driveway inclines every 15 ft
Walking in LA sounds like hell
Jesus christ, was I giving him ideas?
Being the only friend that knows how to be on time is a burden. But I will carry it
I can't and i won't
When we see streets as primarily space to move cars, we miss out on the wonderful places that streets can be. And our cities are much less successful for it. Rotenturmstraße’s before-&-after transformation in #Vienna via @birgithebein.bsky.social HT @liorsteinberg.bsky.social #StreetsForPeople
This is one of the easiest, cheapest ways to make a street and neighborhood instantly way safer. I cannot understand the refusal to continue this.
Day 1 and the news cycle is already mind blowing. Like out of the gateway and its "Insurrectionists pardoned" apnews.com/article/capi...
We live in a society. There are rules. Leash your dog unless you’re at the dog park, and don’t bring it into food service establishments.
according to IZA study - WA's housing shortage is 847k homes there are ~400,000 homes in seattle. and per microsoft's 2019 study, just in seattle we have a shortage of 194k affordable homes. i'd wager this number is pretty accurate. mayor's comp plan is only 110k homes docs.iza.org/dp15447.pdf
Frozen veggies. Dry beans. Basic seasoning and condiments. There is some prep but this can be the base for so much food that is healthy and low cost
It near all non-US/Canada countries, this stuff almost always just exists. No questions, no politics, no funding nonsense. They see the utility of it and make it happen.
I'd love to have this. To just be able to go.
Ok
The Gaetz report is released:
I dont understand how they are going to make a 3rd movie with this plot direction. Dune messiah focuses so much on Paul and chani. Its totally diff
Thanks Phil
I have looked into this enough bc who cares buts its struck me as superficial performative charity for views
Parking lots turn streets into miserable places to walk. New study finds that parking lots "negatively - and substantially - impact walkability; their objective walkability score is half that of other road segments." findingspress.org/article/1271...
The persuasive power of pie charts
Yeah its wild how much this promotes the massive mega apartment structures.
I can't believe these stupid idiots thought this was a better use of space. Like over 8 people patronizing a restaurant fit in the space of a single parked car
in a little over 5 weeks, NASA's going to see the subsidence page scrubbed from its site. and it's governor doesn't think climate change is real. sealevel.nasa.gov/understandin...
Trickle down economics every time. More like "TRICK-le" down
Saw someone I respect suggest we should give DOGE a chance because maybe it will actually represent an earnest attempt to improve government efficiency. What is there to say except lol.
How can they possibly be arguing this? Most transit agencies in the US have been in fiscal free fall since 2020 due to reduced ridership.
If they want, we could replace most of this concrete with brick or cobblestone. Pretty sure way cheaper to maintain longterm anyway
This website is amazing. It computes travel times to specified destinations and then provides a heatmap to the furthest of those destinations. If I was looking for a new place to live, this is the first stop I'd make to narrow down which neighborhoods I was interested in.
It literally makes no sense
BREAKING: Amazon workers in NYC are going on strike right before Christmas—the company's busiest time. The first unionized Amazon warehouse is going to shut down in a historic walkout. Workers plan to hit the company where it hurts to win their first union contract. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI1k...
Americans owe $220 billion in medical debt, and health care costs are the number one cause of bankruptcy. Now states and local governments are canceling more and more medical debt. North Carolina is one state leading the way, aiming to cancel $4 billion. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Priorities.
Freeway lids seem like they really are not viable solutions. The cost to build them is immense and maintains the existing bloated car infrastructure. Basically a way for policy makers to spend a lot of money, avoid reducing car capacities, and claim to e "reconnecting communities"
This is what we need to not do.
That sign is absurd
One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.
Huge
Shocking!
The most striking aspect of this type of liberal meme is how america-core it is. Like basically maga-hat content but for liberals
Eerste Sweelinckstraat, Amsterdam: 1986 vs. today. All motor traffic has been removed, making space for pedestrians, cycle parking, trees, outdoor dining, and hopscotch!
Sending the 14 year old to the local Ace Hardware to do an errand for me. He grumbled until I said the words "you can ride your bike" and then his eyes lit up. This kids-being-independent-on-bikes thing is pretty freaking awesome.
I want what that guy is riding. He looks chillin and mobile
The NYT: "but what if there were sides... and we invented and reinforced them"
This type of liberal political meme reaks so much of the same conservative maga-hat feelings. Like who in gods name is referencing mathematics for political rhetoric?
“Believe it or not, electric bikes offer more exercise than pedal bikes on average. That fact might sound strange, but the science is clear.” Why e-bikes actually give more exercise than “acoustic”bikes. (but both/either are excellent when it comes to better cities) electrek.co/2024/02/20/w...
Thank you for being here
This is like one of those "before" pictures showing the same street in Amsterdam in 1974 and today.
99% of the advice people give for using Bluesky amounts to “don’t willingly have a terrible experience”, and the messed up thing is that peoples experience online has gotten so bad they legitimately need to be reminded of that
That is sad
What society should not try to do is support every transportation speed group in 10mph intervals. There’s probably 3 basic speed groups that matter. Walking speed Bike speed High speed (train or intercity road)
Bluesky is truly having an incredible run as Threads' head of product
So you're telling me i dont have to beat dark souls to be a gamer?
For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.
One thing that ive always hated about iMessage is the limited message emoji react. Like 5 options. I need more non-word based communication options
Is first one better?
People are like "there are no right wingers on blue sky" and i don't get it there are plenty of liberals on here
Finally someone brave enough
This seems so much nicer than the bright green for US bike infra. So much calmer feeling. And doesn't wear away immediately
God that's so sweet
Imagine being able to snap your fingers and turn loud and dangerous traffic sewers into running tracks, bikeways, and playgrounds. That’s a public policy choice many cities can pursue and it should be viewed as public health infrastructure. 📹: Bogotá’s Ciclovía Open Streets, Sundays and Holidays
Yeah even their framing does not convey why i dropped Twitter so long ago and so quickly adopted bluesky Like Twitter was just a cesspool, politics or not. The ethos of bluesky is way less toxic
Man i wake up every morning and I'm just so god damn hungry
Fierce
This is definitely not the format of this meme, but your know
How can we make is closer?
He’ll forever be guilty.
this is the key insight threads assumes that people are coming to a platform like twitter/bluesky/threads to see the same sort of influencer content as instagram, and what people are actually here for is the content of Very Online sickos you have to make a platform the sickos want to post on
