This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Most dismaying is the lack of imagination. How sad to equate freedom for sitting alone in a private, movable metal cell—a.k.a. car—and then spend most time in a long row of these cells—a.k.a. traffic jam? And how many people r even truly noticing the few genuine freedoms that car can actually offer?

Never forget, car dependency is the opposite of freedom. What’s more “free” than cars, you ask? Choices.

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens. Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays. Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success. Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them. Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?” A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages. It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Do the steps sound familiar?

It's fascinating to me that we live in a world where opening the site of any national or local news outlet will see you bombarded with screen filling ads and advertorials and sponsorships and a paywall, but people will still be surprised when an indy news site would like to be paid for its work.

Stop quoting stuff CEOs say about game development. They don't know shit. Even game devs only know about their own tiny slice of gamedev, so the suits definitely have no idea. You don't have to listen to them or debunk them, sometimes you can just be like "that's idiotic" and live on.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

It's important to make broad and completely baseless generalisations about an entire industry so I don't have to be held accountable for my shitty business practices and complete lack of principles.

It was probably unnecessary to install the mod cause I'll probably drop that game for greener pastures. You know, Timberborn is a game that exists, I still wanna try Town to City and Citystate: Metropolis will be a thing. So many games that actually have love and care put into them. #CitiesSkylines2

Just installed the Weather Anarchy mod for Cities: Skylines 2 because the map that my city Trinity Gate is on (Sanctuary Bay) has tropical palm trees but 7 months of winter. Speaks to the quality of this game and the attention to detail am I right @colossalorder.fi?

The second elementary school for Trinity Gate. The two elementary schools combined now provide enough capacity for the entire population. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate #Education

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today. Streets for people. HT @hackneycyclist.bsky.social for the great before-and-after

Europa Universalis 5 scheint ein voller Erfolg zu sein: Von 77.000 gleichzeitigen Spielern zum Release sind eine Woche später immer noch 63.000 dabei - für so einen Koloss mit einigen Ecken und Kanten verdammt bemerkenswert.

For single player games, a save system that allows saves at all times and autosaves on exit. I will uninstall your game and ask for a refund if I'm not able to stop playing whenever I need to.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Just to note, as well, that by default, "Engagement farming" is switched to "hide", which is all fine until you realize that posting several times a day apparently makes you insincere and fake. If you feel like your engagement has dropped, it's possible this is why. #vsky / #vtuber

Happy weekend from #Tokyo! The #BlueSkyArtShow topic is #Evening, and I certainly have something to say about that. 😇 A set of evening photos from the backstreets of #Itabashi Ward. #photography #streetphotography #nightphotography #japan #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #scape @bskyphotos.bsky.social

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
