Painted cycle lanes are the non-smoking sections of today's urban landscape. Both recognize a problem and the harms it causes, but are designed without the will or imagination required to implement a real solution.

The death toll at Srebrenica was about 8,400. At Katyn, about 22,000. At Babi Yar, about 34,000. Add those together and you've just barely cracked the low-end estimate of the death toll at El Fasher.

LA quietly stopped repaving all streets last July to avoid fulfilling its ADA obligations. The federal govt says when you repave a street, you have to update all the curb ramps. LA has tons of out of date curb ramps, so the rule makes repaving much more expensive. The city's solution: stop repaving!

45 minute timelapse of Vredenburg in Utrecht, which can only be used by people on public transport, walking or cycling. Buses do not get delayed in queues or behind people cycling and people cycling are kept safe. You get safer cycling, faster transit, quieter streets, and a city that actually works

directly before it produces a word, it has a layer representing ~the probability of every word in the keyboard. when you are making the "raw" model, this can vary to better represent your dataset. but if you start any of the specialist training, from a different distribution... you get this.

If you want a good summary of the legal issues, this is a good overview. But even before this horrific attack, it's an open question whether any of these strikes were legal.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal. Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military. Pure, mindless, barbarism.

In every aspect, this is on Trump and Miller. If Trump wasn't pushing martial law in the US, those kids would not be there. If Trump honored the judges order, they would be at home. If Trump hadn't thrown allied Afghans in the US to the wolves for ICE show, this would not have happened.

My most woke opinion is that "woke" at root is a beautiful concept: active socio-political consciousness in the context of the Black American liberation struggle. And the way it's been turned into a sneering pejorative is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in Western political discourse.
