Why I don’t trust AI, in one image 🤣

Philadelphia filed an extremely thorough lawsuit on Wed against SC Johnson (Ziploc) and Bimbo Bakeries over claims that their plastic bags are recyclable, accusing the companies of engaging in a "coordinated campaign of deception." @grist.org grist.org/accountabili...

???? Hashtag neverforget when the trains ran on time !!!

The biodegrade comment killed me lmao

Here's a fascinating wrinkle in the Charlie Kirk martyrdom process. This is a totally made up story about a mural in Serbia honoring Charlie Kirk's time playing on an all-white basketball team in Chicago. None of this seems to be true, but there's a whole imaginary world out there in which it is.

intriguing choice to use a "small" SVU as an example illustration of a moving car in the first ESPR tyres study.... car-bloat culture reflected in policymaking!

Happy to be raising a now multilingual kid!

Better late than never, here is my annual attempt at Rosh Hashanah challah mid-bake… it didn’t rise much today but I keep my flat fairly cool… so am curious to see how it’ll turn out

Disappointing victim-blaming from @npr.org. This article puts the burden of safety on pedestrians and people on bikes, not on the dangerous drivers and hostile infrastructure that are the real threats. We don't need more "safety tips," rooted in ignorance and incompetence, we need safer streets.

Wtf is this headline!! Killed by whom, ghosts????

Air pollution can affect how well we sleep, scientists discover #airpollution Story by @drgaryfuller.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Public opinion is outcome of complex interaction between fact, perception, and ideology — which are shaped, to large part, by (social) media and politics. The gap between fact and perception is growing because neoliberal media emphasize extreme outliers and dominant ideology emphasizes mistrust.

We live in a simulation

Hi! I have a blog that I don't talk about much on this side of the internet, but I felt a need to write about the current social media landscape, Bluesky, and what we, as social media users, should be doing about it. I hope you read and enjoy it. kyodai.ghost.io/the-bare-min...

Is car free day the best day because I always treat it like a special day or is it the best day because it’s an inherently special day

New car-free day/birthday weekend tradition: pizzas at Nona’s…

Et joyeux dimanche sans voiture à Bruxelles pour celleux qui y croivent !

Les Bruxellois favorables à davantage de journées sans voiture

Et sans avions !! Au niveau du bruit c'est vraiment le combo gagnant 😌🥰

On veut ça TOUS LES DIMANCHES (au moins). Une ville qui vit. Des gens qui sortent, se rencontrent. Des enfants qui jouent dehors. Le silence, l'apaisement, le calme. Une ville pour ses habitants, et pas pour les voitures. #DimanchePourLesHumains 💕

C'est évident ridicule. Imaginez des milliers de cyclistes par heure sur les minuscules pistes unidirectionnelles de Général Jacques, de Franklin Roosevelt ou Boulevard Lambermont. Imaginez les piétons obligés de rester sur des trottoirs communaux de 60cm de large dans leurs quartiers. Inconcevable.

What time does #journeesansvoitures start bc there are A Lot of cars still driving around …

My parents sent me a pic of their lunch setting in Ontario and I noticed that the water is being served in plastic cups!! Why!! I asked and my said “biodegradable” to which I responded 😬 Why can’t I just be normal and ignorant, it would be much easier

Omg 💀💀💀

This and 45 minutes at the climbing gym was supposed to be my rest day this week 🙃

Perfect so we can have another winter with horrible air quality!

And online shopping is often where EU shoppers inadvertently receive noncompliant products because of legal loopholes that will hopefully soon be closed - but keep in mind when buying online that the products may not be following EU rules on safety and health 🙃

Online shopping is booming. In 2024 alone, three out of four (75%) European internet users bought or ordered goods and services online – up from 59% a decade ago. The digital marketplace isn't just growing; it's reshaping how Europeans live and shop.

Eventually Ezra Klein will disavow ever having liberal views and will fully embrace conservatism, it’s just a matter of time

The EU is in the beginning stages of a new regulation that could improve the design of tires! It’s called the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, and the preparatory study phase has just launched. I have been providing feedback to this process and there are not many other NGOs…

Stress baking cookies 🍪

In the long term I'd argue it might be better for Europeans to suddenly realise and adapt to a new reality where Americans can no longer relied on rather than arrive at the same place after false hopes through a painfully drawn out process

Strange that chocolate is classified as an agricultural export when it is not grown or cultivated in Belgium lol

EXCLUSIVE: England’s farms are being fertilised with a cocktail of toxic landfill juice + sewage sludge. 750,000 tonnes of landfill leachate tankered to sewage works every year → mixed into sewage → spread on farmers' fields. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

1/2 🚨The Commission is risking our #roadsafety & fuelling #pollution: I have submitted a written question demanding answers, along with my colleagues from the Greens. The mutual recognition clause in the EU-US trade deal risks a surge in monster SUVs. That means: ❌high CO2 & toxic emissions

La justice suspend le report de la LEZ. Elle est formelle : cela contrevient au droit à la santé et à un environnement sain. Nous ne lâcherons jamais : respirer un air qui ne vous rend pas malade c'est la moindre des choses.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola rejected a bid by right-wing factions to hold a minute of silence today for slain US conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

I know Europeans don't want to hear it. I know it seems inconceivable to many here. But the US is headed toward a very dark place, and that will also shake the foundations of our continent here. Everyone needs to have their eyes open.

I also don't think people appreciate how coordinated the global right wing influencers are. Most of these people are rowing in the exact same direction even if they aren't in the same boat. US social media (platforms and influencers) is driving a lot of non-US amplification of right wing ideology.

Is it even families making only $150k that are the issue??? In many areas that’s not even that much??

The terrific Our Rule of Law team has constructive advice for the European Union on how to be more than a single market - instead, a union of values: euobserver.com/rule-of-law/...

Watching the #SOTEU - and the responses - make me so so so thankful to be European and live in Europe! 🥲 No, the EU is not perfect. There are serious challenges. But I’m so grateful to live here and raise my child here. Europe is the future (and it’s time for its leaders to uphold that promise)

Yes. He is wrong. I am a hater of the EU’s steps towards US but still this is wrong.
