Self-driving removes drivers, not traffic. Bikes > public transport > autonomous cars > regular cars
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

In Feb 26, it will be 80 years since the UN selected its first secretary-general, a man. Since then, eight others have had that job, all men. Surely it’s long past time a woman held the post. In these perilous times we cannot afford an all-men’s club at the top of the UN.

The Irish Times published and lauded John Collison's op-ed, but did they fact-check it?
Andrew Jackson did. Thoroughly.

Moon, starring Sam Rockwell in top form, is on film4 this evening (9pm UK time). Directed by @manmademoon.bsky.social, it's up there with my favourite science fiction, and one of my films of the century so far!

Ireland should be thinking the same way about the shutdown of the AMOC current and what it would do to our beloved Gulf Stream that bathes us in warm water carried north from the the tropics, keeping us ice-free in the winter.
'A shutdown of the AMOC “cannot be considered a low likelihood risk anymore in view of the evolving science over the past years,” said @rahmstorf.bsky.social , a physical oceanographer and climatologist who has studied the AMOC at @pik-potsdam.bsky.social '
A crucial system of ocean currents may be on course to collapse. This country just declared it a national security threat | CNN
Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of collapse and the country is preparing for this “existential threat.”

Of course the player corruption is the last straw, not the people bankrupted, the families wrecked etc by stoking addiction for massive profit.
