Frankly I find it really hypocratical that the EU politicians are going to raise the defense budget with the sacrifices to their citizens they convey, yet many can't make the small sacrifice to even stop using X, one of the main tools that has contributed to this situation.

Mexico and Canada should both ban X and Facebook. As well as every other democracy in the world that wants to stay in existence.

“A single unmuffled scooter crossing Paris at night can wake as many as 10,000 people.” We seriously underestimate the impact of vehicle noise on urban livability and health. Cities aren’t noisy, engines are. How #Paris Is Waging a War on Noise Pollution.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding “The Unbreakabke Law Of Congestion” aka #InducedDemand. Via @wired.com

A consumers' lawsuit accused Amazon of obtaining 'backdoor access' to their phones by providing app developers with code to be embedded in their apps. This allegedly enabled Amazon to collect timestamped geolocation data about where consumers live, work, shop and visit reut.rs/42RRHO3

Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. And the change wasn’t magic, or even hard. This is very recent, and it just took vision and leadership. Your city could choose leadership too if it wanted to. Great pic via @JBPssx

Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

I really hope everyone understands what is going on with Elon and Wikipedia. Wikipedia is one of our last remaining bastions of evidence-based consensus reality. The MAGA narrative is fundamentally threatened by evidence-based fact, and Wikipedia is a repository of evidence-based fact.

Elon Musk denounced Wikipedia (again), lying about its budget. Of course he and other post-truth reactionaries hate it. It's a bastion of truth they haven't been able to buy or bully. Wikipedia isn't perfect—what is?—but it's a valuable resource we should, and can, protect. My latest, in Arc Digital

En ciudad siempre hay que priorizar la bici, porque sino pasa esto En bici uno ocupa poco, se aparta en un segundo y los carriles bici pueden quedar despejados para las ambulancias en un segundo. Con tres sofas y un maletero por las estrechas calles del centro, no es posible. @alexbici.bsky.social

Muchos decían "Londres nunca será Ámsterdam". Así es Londres ahora, más bicis que coches. Impensable hace nada. Lo inútil ahora son los 3 carriles para coches, vacíos. Así es como se descongestionan las ciudades.

Indo-European words for "four". Around the outside are 64 living Indo-European languages and their words for 4. Within that the words for 4 in historic languages, going back 4000+ years all the way to Proto-Indo-European *kʷetwóres.

About 20 years ago, I was in a grad school class where we had a discussion with a Parisian city planner. Bikeshare in Paris had just launched. He said, "Parisians will never give up their cars." When I start getting frustrated about progress, I think of that conversation.
