“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 & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

XR kids (for eg) get a hiding and capsicum spray from the jacks, Nazis don't. This seems to me to be the "wicked problem" but YMMV I guess.
omfg. "wicked problem" are you fucking kidding me, jesus fucking christ
The real wicked problem here is Australia's mostly-white journalist class persistently stepping on the exact rakes the salivating white nationalists want them to step on. It is so nuts to me how none of this ever changes

one thing that annoyed me about AFL commentary in 2025 is how every sportscaster was in the tank for the new stadium: where it should be, how big, who should pay, etc
Tasmanians will be paying a lot more than the stated $375M. Rockliff's "not a red cent more" promise is a fairy tale. We will likely never know the real cost. It doesn't have to be monetary. The promised private investors never materialised. They lied about that. It's a complete mess. #politas
As stadium vote nears, how much will Tasmanians actually be paying?
There are many questions still to be answered when it comes to how the stadium will be paid for.

Please stop telling me you're not surprised. We've been the leading publication in abuse of AI and porn for years. The newsworthy thing here is the exposed back end shows, definitively, people are turning ordinary people into AI porn at scale. You're pontificating to the wrong people.

not to put too fine a point on it - after all it was NSW Police who investigated and rejected ALP politician-zionist claims about Opera House chants and a Dural caravan and Mossad says and what-not - but there is an obvious flaw with tasking NSW Police with solving white supremacy racists.
