“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

our grocery costs in germany were like a third of what they are in seattle.

One thing I love about bicycles is their simplicity. When every other aspect of society tells you we constantly need more technology and "innovation" in our lives, a basic bicycle can solve so many problems. Riding a fixed gear bicycle is the ultimate KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) way to go.

Either that or they'll just say it's fake news. Just like their fuckwit president does.

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

Take a look at the dog's reaction upon reuniting with the woman who saved its life, after 2 years. He hasn't forgotten her. Original post

#BradleyCooper is starring in a major #Hollywood film about #January6th directed by #SeanPenn. The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. Justice comes in many forms. This is one of them.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

The Senate just advanced a major housing bill that includes limits on how many homes some private equity investors can own. It's a modest, yet much needed step towards reining in one of the biggest culprits behind the housing crisis.

💰 @grahamformaine.bsky.social PLATNER: “Wall Street’s takeover of our economy wasn’t an accident... We are living in a system operating exactly as intended… policy choices made by establishment politicians in the service of people who donated the most money to them. And it needs to end.”

This is an old post but it shows how corrupt he is.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

Never did I think I would see a cure for sickle cell in my lifetime. A friend of mine in fifth grade died from this disease. My parents kept me home from the funeral because they thought I was too young to handle it. Modern science is a miracle. www.wafb.com/2026/06/23/n...

Absolutely No One Should Go Without Food…. “Food isn’t a human right.” Holy crap, then why did we even bother developing agriculture and civilization? Are we really making enough food for everyone just to let some people starve?”

AOC on the Reflecting Pool: They talked a bunch of smack. They said they had to repaint the pool, and now they’ve turned it into an actual swamp.

If Congress doesn't act now, Social Security benefits could be cut by more than 20 percent after 2032. Senator Bernie Moreno and I have a bipartisan solution: lift the Social Security payroll tax cap. We need to save Social Security for the next generation. Let's get this done.

@slotkin.senate.gov Detroit is YEARS behind China. Americans demand small EVs now. I want my 1973 Volkswagen "Superbeetle" with the lil triangle windows, hand-roll cranks, and a battery-powered engine. I DON'T want cameras, computer tracking devices, or GPS. I know where I'm going.

Just 10 days after the SpaceX IPO, the stock has plunged and the average investor has seen most of their initial gains disappear. And don't forget: rules protecting investors from volatile new stocks were gutted — at SpaceX's behest. The universe's largest Ponzi scheme?

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

⚠️ WARNING: ICE abducted a pet owner, leaving two dogs to starve for a week. Only the landlord saved them. This isn't a mistake; it’s a sickening pattern. When agencies treat people as disposable, innocent lives become collateral. This cruelty must end.

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity
