WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Via séance…

How the conversation went.

This dude is so high.

The man one heartbeat away from the Presidency has degenerated from warning us of the narcotic nature of MAGA to being a pusher of the drug.

A symbol of humanity’s impact on this world: a radioactive fire tornado in a war zone.

Metaphor Alert! 🚨 Please Duck & Cover.

This take on her statement is rather like saying France and Germany were “destroyed” when they united with other countries in the European Union. That being said, thanks for at least trying to support your claims, even if it was unsuccessful.

The “carbrain” label tells you everything you need to know about this pundit. Claiming that Kiros is “explicitly opposed to the existence of Israel” requires a link to a credible source (not himself) proving this. Otherwise, it’s a lazy incendiary accusation. You know who else does that? Trump.

Gardens in the UK are shrinking in size. Why? “Evidence suggests one culprit is the gradual transformation of front gardens into driveways.” #Cars are why we can’t have nice things. #gardening #sustainability #autoindustry www.gardensillustrated.com/features/red...

If you have a long car commute, drive a gas-guzzling truck or SUV, and have a child with asthma, the next time you have to watch your kid struggle to breathe, know that the person to blame for their suffering is the same person staring at you in the mirror. FYI, it’s a horrible way to die.

I ate at Culver’s last week. I arrived in my helicopter and was carried in like a Sultan.

Well played.

Highway caps are bandaids. Cities need to be bold like Paris, Seoul, and Utrecht and simply remove them. This is especially true of the Dan Ryan, which is one of the most inefficient, harmful examples of transportation infrastructure in the US.

Tesla's CEO and Republicans did that. Don't buy a Tesla, don't supercharge, don't use starlink, twitter or grok, don't vote republican or both-sides democrats with republican family and friends - millions of children dying is bad.

Will the police devote the same resources to finding this murderer as someone who killed with a gun? Probably not.

What sane #insurance executive would allow a policy to be issued to Waymo? The failures of their #robotaxis appear to be getting worse. www.wired.com/story/waymo-...

Been thinking about both cyclists killed in Seattle were crushed by commercial trucks. Think it time to insist that every designed freight route in the city have a protected bike lane.

“It’s like we are scared of the #future. There’s a lot of that, I think, in the US, but particularly in #transportation. We cannot wrap our minds around that it is possible to change and once the change happens, it will be a whole lot better.”

The @democraticparty.bsky.social needs candidates willing to be bollards. Trump is, of course, the burning car.

They say you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, even if they were instrumental in creating the climate change we struggle with today. So, I have nothing to say about Lee Raymond, former Exxon CEO. Absolutely nothing. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston... apple.news/AhOaGtSzhQ-u...

I read Eric Tanenblatt’s @ajc.com column calling for robobuses instead of a streetcar on the @atlantabeltline.org . I strongly DISAGREE with him. Here are my thoughts below (to get around Bluesky’s character limit). Read his column here: 📰 www.ajc.com/opinion/2026... 🍏 apple.news/AhSJ8tnEVSzq...

Pushing for better streets is a vote-getter.

Want to be a world-class city? This is what you have to do.

I'm urging all of you, especially young persons, to get out and vote on Tuesday if you are in CA.

Quiz: According to Atlanta’s wackiest councilmember, if you oppose a streetcar on the Atlanta Beltline and dare to prefer a parallel path for bikes and other micromobility, you are: 1. A Freemason 2. A billionaire 3. A lizard person 4. Sensible It’s 2, at least this week…🐊

Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone. (Only UK gardeners will get this)

Remember how excited futurists were about Neom and The Line, a skyscaper 100+ miles long that was to stretch into the desert? Autocracies seldom make good infrastructure decisions, whether it’s this Saudi debacle, empty new cities in China, or anything Trump does. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Somehow, this must be a metaphor for Elon Musk’s future.

At last! The #fashion industry finds its purpose…😆 www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a commonsense solution to an increasingly dangerous condition on the Beltline. Let’s get this done. www.atlantanewsfirst.com/video/2026/0...

How to show you’re out-of-touch without actually saying so: “I must say that I consider the phrase tax the rich…when spit out with anger and contempt by politicians both here and across the country, to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slur…” Via @politico.com apple.news/A_BPy10tmTCu...

How did #Banksy stick up a statue in #London? "He's got a really big team who are a very, very experienced crew…They're the sort of dudes who can set up a Metallica concert in 24 hours. Can we recruit Banksy’s team to install #bike lanes in the US? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Traffic calming hack: ride slowly in front of a robot car so no one else can pass you.

Pedestrians - Watch out! Even the Netherlands used to shame pedestrians to promote motordom. They at least realized this as an absurdity of the past and put such propaganda in the Rijksmuseum as a distant memory. @thewaroncars.bsky.social @americanfietser.bsky.social

The tyranny of the highway planner is slowly becoming undone.

New York State will halt the expansion of highways near public housing developments and asthma hot spots, under a new bill that seeks to protect some of the poorest and most vulnerable New Yorkers from excess pollution and emissions.

“The planned tower dwarfs all the surrounding Miami buildings in the rendering.” This means that it may be big enough to hide ALL of the Epstein Files. Well, almost. May need to add a wing or two. Via @miamiherald.com apple.news/ATg9UhwwBSQO... #architecture #politics

Beltline Rail Now supporters are now openly saying what many of us knew all along— they want to cut down the trees on the Beltline so that they can get their billion-dollar streetcar. Cutting down trees won’t solve the problem of how to pay for it, unless timber prices go WAY up.

Cry harder, gentrifier. That billion dollars in #transit funding is going to spread all over #Atlanta, not just your rich neighborhood.

Meanwhile, car-addicted US cities like Atlanta remain blanketed by a choking haze.

Suddenly, Melania appeared.

Europeans when told by Trump to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz.

Ce soir, et je m'en réjouis, les Parisiens et les Parisiennes ont placé très largement en tête la liste d'union de la gauche et des écologistes conduite par Emmanuel Grégoire déjouant une nouvelle fois les pronostics hasardeux des entreprises de sondage.
