Look at my mayor ♥️

Nice touch - the trans announcer from the subway (“Stand clear of the platform edge”) is doing the announcing

Nećete u Kopenhagen niste niprije!

It's the end of the year - an annus horribilis for Europe. It should be a moment of reflection on the root causes of the humiliation this continent had to endure at the hands of Donald Trump this year. And it's time to reimagine what Europe can be.

Happy Last Day of the Eric Adams administration to all who celebrate!

Aaaand with almost 3 hours delay, welcome to EC 1172 en route from Hamburg Hbf. to Copenhagen. After freezing on a platform for hours listening to "verspätung im Ausland" (delay outside Germany) alerts, many passengers are now standing because they didn't get a reservation 🫠

putin’s notion that we are a great powerful civilization but also we are constantly helplessly victimized by the west -- it’s the same combination of entitlement plus victimhood that you find in the US far-right. No wonder they like him

The congratulations to our newest billionaire articles are wild. Please applaud the newest member of the class of people that wrecked your air, or your water, or your wages, or your right to walk down the street.

The good life

No BB discourse can beat that of the Slovenian Railways, which just celebrated the combo of BB dying and the 50th anniversary of their "Brižita" locomotives

My train brain was socialized in north America and cannot comprehend this

Decades of the white nationalist movement evolving to adapt to current political trends has brought them to this moment.

Always a pleasure to listen to Cory Doctorow. Even better to hear him quote @prisonculture.bsky.social to the crowd at #39c3 Hope is a discipline.

gradovi okupljaju liberalnije glasačko tijelo zbog heterogenosti stanovništva i veće slobode kretanja/mišljenja. jedino što može uništiti HDZ su porez na nekretnine i priuštivo stanovanje. prazni stanovi i skupi kvadrati garancija su desničarske budućnosti. manje stanovnika = manja glasačka margina.

Continuing the thread from Serbia, last night I went to the launch of a platform documenting police violence/repression against Serbian citizens in protests, starting from the aleged use of sound canon on 15 March to the large-scale operation to suppress the protest in Novi Sad on 5 September 1/

The EU needs to stand behind its digital rule book and green standards while deepening the single market to ensure the EU remained competitive in a global economic race, said the bloc’s competition chief @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu With @henryjfoy.ft.com as.ft.com/r/c975fe85-2...

As a terminally earnest journalist and critter, I think about this often:

for your holiday reading pleasure: i wrote about why i’m getting back into tapes, and what we’ve lost by letting ourselves get addicted to platforms built around surveillance and instant gratification. 🎶 @404media.co

We don’t spend enough time discussing how the entire MAGA movement is kept afloat by the constant threats of stochastic terrorism orchestrated by the president of the United States. Congress, the courts, much of the media … all kept in line by the mob boss and his army of anonymous goons.

Years ago my phone's microSD card died and I thought I permanently lost hundreds of 2011-2012 pics. Well, I recovered them and there's some good times there. My Emirates A380 trip, touring the Boeing production lines back when you could still do that, first SXM trip, oh and the post-Sandy H train.

The snow and the sea!

I expect US sanctions against @thierrybreton.bsky.social to force the EU to reverse its deregulation wave, starting with the #digitalomnibus—a gift to US companies and an own goal for European consumer and citizen protection. www.reuters.com/legal/govern... @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

"As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free" gets all the attention (correctly), but don't overlook "He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored." Battle Hymn of the Republic is packed with heaters. Julia Ward Howe — she had bars! Should be our national anthem.

It's not all horrible. In 2025 I'm on track to take the most photos since 2008, when I took a staggering 16973 digital photos thanks to my first DSLR, the EOS 400D 🤓

In the prehistoric era, IBM spent immense amounts of efforts to nail the human-computer interface with keyboards and build quality that simply does not exist today outside of specialty, tiny volume manufacturers. youtu.be/iZJTqUZP_lA?...

That's because the point of the OMNY system isn't to create a single card. It's to create a more flexible fare payment system that specifically does not require a purchase of a card.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

I was explaining the clusterfuck of European integration to my American partner yesterday and I finally have a perfect example of what it means to be in Schengen and the single market but not in the customs union 🤡

Bari Weiss is doing the job she was appointed to do.

Moj trik je da za sebe nisam sastavio komp od 2005. 🤡
