“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

Há coisa de um mês e pouco, eu disse que não tava perto de ter invasão no Irã, muito menos na Groenlândia, porque não tinha porta aviões perto e os EUA mesmo tendo as bases terrestres só invadem com porta aviões junto. Pois bem:

🐴Miroku no Hayakoma (The Swift Horse of Miroku) A mythical horse in Mt Miroku. Alias Miroku’s Vernal Horse. He neighs like a deer. He appears beneath an evergreen tree at the end of winter to prophesy the year's fortunes with a bronze mirror. But his prediction comes true only one in six times. #OC

You'd think the "fire everyone & let a calculator that can't do math do everyone's jobs badly" class'd appreciate the tremendous cost savings of making every meeting an email instead of paying skyrocketing rent every month so everyone can be made buy birthday cakes for each other but no, they dont

I was disappointed to read Cory Doctorow's post where he got weirdly defensive about his LLM use and started arguing with an imaginary foe. @tante.cc has a very thoughtful reply here: tante.cc/2026/02/20/a... A few further comments, 🧵>>

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Tem uma obviedade nesse ranking de deputados em relação a pautas de igualdade racial, mas também uma curiosidade

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

Forbes 30 Under 30 remains undefeated

Queria isso aqui no Brasil, mas temo pela vida de quem tentar

Que bonito, o partido de extrema direita quebrando o muro, que nem quando derrubaram o muro de Berlim. A imprensa é cúmplice na ascensão do fascio, mundo afora.

Esse pedaço me lembrou do TRF defendendo estado de exceção na lava jato. "A lei e a jurisprudência não valem nada, o importante é o que a gente acha certo." Se é assim, pra que concurso pra juiz? Escolhe por sorteio.

I remember once watching a cozy chat with Nick Fuentes and Fresh & Fit (a black manosphere podcast) where they all agreed women shouldn't vote, then Fuentes added "a lot of people shouldn't be able to vote!" And they all chuckled along. I just thought... Who do you guys think he's talking about?

A Lana del Rey disse que "maga que é isso, tenho até carteirinha de anarquista," e só consegui imaginar o e-mail "para renovar sua carteirinha de anarquista visite anarchism.cia.gov ..."

Falar mal de data center vai virar tão ilegal quanto criticar o genocídio palestino

Hell hath no fury like a toddler who missed their nap

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

Essa foto é muitos níveis de "que merda ter razão."

Eles tão morrendo de medo de isso respingar no resto da família, né? (É fascinante como a aristocracia europeia toda tá ainda mais presente na ilha do Epstein do que o vale do silício, wall street, ou os partidos de direita)

In honor of bsky becoming a butterfly, did you know that insects ARE crustaceans? Their closest living relative is well within the "real" crustaceans (more on that tomorrow) Yes, ALL of bugs are shrimps, and not the other way around! #Crustmas 🧪

A risada foi muito pouco pro que esse mané merecia.

E é assim que o fundamentalismo religioso vai penetrando nas instituições, com cumplicidade de muita gente canalha e se fingindo de burra

Um mês atrás os bolsominios estavam chorando por conta de uma propaganda de chinela. Agora estão chorando por conta de uma ala de escola de samba. Essa mesma galera diz que LGBTQIAfobia e racismo é vitimismo. NA BOA? ESSE POVO NÃO AGUENTA UM DIA MINHA VIDA.

Meanwhile, on threads, which actually is like what people on twitter think bluesky is like, a "teacher, author, poet" speaks...

Uma coisa que acho curiosa dos libertarianos (e uns marxistas e anarcos perdidos) terem abraçado a "AI" é que ela é bem hostil a tudo que é ideal libertariano. E neste momento tem outro pacote tecnológico que também está explodindo, que tem impactos até maiores, e que se alinharia com esses ideais.

Sure: Light rail, high speed rail, ocean wave generation, solar power generation, wind generation, heat pump tech, geothermal heat pump tech, last mile on-demand transit solutions, better wheelchairs, better wheel chair lifts, better flexible seating on public transit, maker spaces, tool libraries.

Happy year of the Horse! Perfect timing for me to finish up this little fella

É fantástico como todo dia tem um plano mais vilão da sessão da tarde do que o anterior.

Ver 74293742 fotos de famílias fubangas feitas por IA dentro de uma lata de ervilha só evidencia que o opressor não aguenta 2 segundos de opressão..

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES. This is extremely intentional. If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws. Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Yes, it's an evil government aiming at company that's not evil enough, but it is very funny that cutting a company with purportedly world-changing tech from the Imperial Star Destroyer procurement loop is tantamount to destroying it.
