High level weird. I miss simply being worried about the state of the world. I solve problems and build stuff like Whee!, Kiosk & Hoi! Mobility and bicycle urbanism. Degrowth, regeneration, equality, peace. ✌️🌱🚲🍉

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

This by @ethanmarcotte.com is exceedingly well said: “the billionaire's so-called ‘efficiency’ ‘department’ is best understood as a sprawling form of procurement capture”

Bra at Syklistforeningen presser på for generell 30-grense i by. I sommer fyller 50-grensen 60 år. På de årene har den tatt livet av flere hundre mennesker, deriblant svært mange barn. Skrev denne for 5 år siden. www.morgenbladet.no/ideer/kommen...

Nå er det sannelig fritt vilt med elendige ideer om Nordmarka www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb... Det er som om natur ikke har verdi hvis det ikke er en hytte med bollekø i helgene innenfor fem km radius.

Hvis alle veier med ÅDT på mellom 500 og 3000 må utredes før de kan begrenses for gjennomkjøring får vi ikke gjort stort i Oslo.

Dette nye bilfrie transformasjonsområdet har samme avstand fra sentralstasjonen i Utrecht som Ensjø er fra Oslo S.

50 som generell fartsgrense i tettbygde strøk hører fortiden til. Vi vet bedre nå.

Three years ago this week. 🇺🇦

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Hi, broken record here. The same degraded information environment that led to Trump being elected is still in place. Most people still aren't being told what's happening, who's at fault, or what the effects will be. And there's zero reason to think traumatic events will "wake people up."

FRP og Høyre, Ketil Solvik-Olsen, Linda Hofstad Helleland. Ikke glem hvem som var ansvarlige for jernbanereformen.

Underhållsskulden växer på världens mest avreglerade järnväg. Kan det ha att göra med att reparatörer blir uppmanade att inte laga fel dom hittar? www.svt.se/nyheter/inri...

NEW: Car manufacturers want to hide the truth about their dirty diesel emissions. Along with MPs, over 50 major charities & organisations and hundreds of individuals, we demand court documents are made public. #Dieselgate #AirPollution

‘Trump is abandoning Ukraine and wants a weaker EU’: Dominique de Villepin on Europe’s moment of truth

Et statskupp gjennomført fra innsiden av staten dag for dag - i 1933. Sett gjennom øynene til en vennligsinnet og borgerlig norsk avis. Del 3.

1.3million people killed a year in vehicle collisions and despite this evidence below the world is still arguing over the merits of protected cycle lanes and UK government is still not funding them adequately? Make it make sense!?! #VisionZero #RoadSafety

Haltbakk Bunkers has the largest fleet of bunker (fuel) vessels in Norway, supplying fuel to NATO forces They are boycotting the US Navy and Military over Trump's treatment of Zelenskyy and Ukraine Damning statement from the owner, Gunnar Gran

Just so we're clear was it not a crisis when it was the other way around?

En by i menneskelig skala legger til rette for den viktigste faktoren når det gjelder å danne vennskap, også i voksen alder. Gjentakende tilfeldige møter. På hjørnet, i parken, i den lokale kneipa.

“Loneliness and isolation can lead to: 29% increased risk of heart disease; 32% increased risk of stroke; 50% increased risk of developing dementia among older adults; and 60% increased risk of premature death.” Surgeon General recommends designing cities to create more connections. #WalkableCities

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

can someone make an alert that pings me whenever private equity acquires a company i've ever had a mild fondness for

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

Nå som en del folk ser politikken og ideologien de har vært nyttige idioter for utfolde seg foran øynene sine så er det åpenbart aldri for sent å snu, men man kan ikke gjøre det og likevel tviholde på talepunktene og den oppdiktede kulturkrigen. Da har du tatt valget om å fortsette å være idiot.

@markurban.bsky.social “A big question for Sunday's London meeting: can #Ukraine be kept in the fight without #US #military #aid? According to western officials the #materiel they use to fight, from boots to bullets, is sourced 55% in #Ukraine, 25% from #Europe, and just 20% from the #US 1/“

An excellent article on the car industry lobbying powers “These vehicles are not actually performing a practical function, they’re performing a psychosocial function for their owners. Elitism is literally the sales pitch: you can look down on other road users.” : voice.cymru/an-epidemic-...

I literally do this (transportation safety) for a living, my parents are proud and respect me for that, and yet I'm really really concerned about my ability to get my Dad to stop driving when he should (not that far off). This is going to be a massive challenge and shouldn't fall only to family.

You would not treat a guest in your home — even one you really didn’t like — the way Trump and Vance treated Zelensky today.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Utrecht NL is about to build the largest Dutch car-free neighbourhood. 12K people. 6K homes. 1.8K social rental homes. 1.5 mid-range rental & affordable owner-occupied homes. 21.5K bike parking spaces. 250 shared cars. 2 parcel hubs. Parking structures on district edge. High quality public transit.

Hi, yes. So restricting press access while siding with an invading country while targeting allies while exploting fears of immigrants/trans people while cutting social and government services to those who need them- this has a name

I indre by er sykkel snart et viktigere transportmiddel for daglige reiser enn bil. Kanskje allerede til neste år i indre by øst. Gange er soleklart størst i hele indre by.

Who could've predicted? When people spend more time walking in cities, they spend more money than if they're stuck in traffic in cars.
