• inspired by strip maps, here is my minimalist interpretation of the bus rapid transit network in campinas, brazil 🇧🇷
• www.behance.net/gallery/2435...

#transitscapes #transitmap #transitsky
Here is a little side project I recently put together to shed some light on the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) network in Campinas, Brazil. Like many other cities across South America, Campinas eventually caught on to the utterly viral BRT frenzy! Other modes of transportation (such as trolleybuses and light rail) had been proposed earlier to ease road congestion and improve mobility across a metropolitan area home to more than 3.5 million inhabitants, but the idea of implementing a BRT system ultimately won out in 2011. However, it took a little over a decade before the BRT network began to be gradually brought into service, starting with the launch of BRT20 on Corredor Campo Grande in 2022. Corredor Ouro Verde followed in 2023 with the opening of BRT10.  Corredor Perimetral opened last in 2024, completing the originally planned network. As shown on the map, the system consists of seven lines, distributed across three major corridors totaling almost 37km: Campo Grande, Ouro Verde and Perimetral. When heading towards the city center, some lines extend beyond their dedicated eastern terminal (Mercado or Central) to run along what is locally known as Corredor Central - a ring-like collection of five one-way avenues looping through the city center, where regular traffic and urban transit are physically segregated.  After completing their loop - serving both Terminal Mercado and Terminal Central along the way - these lines rejoin their respective corridors to continue their outbound journey. Lines operating on the Ouro Verde and Perimetral corridors stop at all stations up to one of three main terminals - BRT12 to Santa Lúcia, BRT10 to Ouro Verde and BRT11 to Vila Nova. Lines running along Corredor Campo Grande also serve either of two major terminals: Satélite Íris and Campo Grande. Additionally, they are further divided into all-stops ("parador") for BRT20 and BRT25 or semi-express ("semi-espresso") services for BRT21 and BRT26.

"Motherfoclóir" Podcast Episode 161 | Cill or Coill? Recurring Styles in Placenames Pt. 1 A lot of placenames in Ireland begin with Kil- Sometimes this is a reference to a church, sometimes it refers to a woodland. Sometimes both. What's going on? Did the early Christians steal holy sites from the pagan druids or something? In the first of a set of episodes, Darach, Gearoidin and Peadar look at some of the recurring features in Irish placenames. This week it's Cill and Coill. There's also some discussion of the Luas Red Line, the airport bus, the Germans and fax machines. It's all quite relevant.

#language #linguistics #langsky
Front cover of the book "Algospeak: How Social Media is Transforming the Future of Language" by Adam Aleksic From the rise of leetspeak and words such as unalive to the trend of adding '-core' to different influencer aesthetics, the internet has ushered in an unprecedented linguistic upheaval. We're entering an entirely new era of etymology, heralded by the invisible forces driving social media algorithms. And with over 7 billion internet users uploading over 2.5 quintillion bytes of media every day, the sheer volume of potential new words is astounding. In Algospeak, online etymologist Adam Aleksic shines a light on the roots of words that we don't realise have come from unexpected places - from incel culture, from the innovation of users trying to get around content moderation algorithms, from the marketing speak that has invaded our personal lives. New slang emerges and goes viral overnight. Accents are shaped or erased on YouTube. Grammatical rules, loopholes, and patterns surface and transform our interactions, social norms and habits.

Following suit to my previously posted map of Glasgow, here is my lastest design: a geographic representation of rail-based transportation in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland This map shows the Edinburgh Tram route and stations as well as ScotRail lines and stations located in the area Bus connections and Park and Ride facilities also appear when available As with Glasgow's map, a handful of selected points of interests were added for additional context This map is labeled in both English and Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) - for now! I'd love to be able to present a version featuring Scots so I'm currently looking out for help from speakers of the language In the meantime, know that some of the Scottish Gaelic names here on the map have been "reconstructed" as no officially sanctioned name for said places is approved yet It is true only for some of the points of interests while all rail and subway stations names in both English and Gàidhlig are those officially approved by their respective controlling bodies and institutions promoting the Gàidhlig language in Scotland Enjoy the ride!

• Rail transportation in Glasgow city centre • Còmhdhail rèile ann am meadhan baile Ghlaschu • Well, pretty much what the title says, all on a single, no-fuss, geographically accurate map! Clearly showing the entire loop of the Glasgow Subway and its stations (in orange) as well as ScotRail lines and stations (in black) located in the area Bus connections and Park and Ride facilities also appear when available I also wanted to fill in the gaps on this map so to speak, by indicating a selection of points of interest spread across Glasgow city centre, for additional context This map is labeled in both English and Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) - for now! I'd love to be able to present a version featuring Scots so I'm currently looking out for help from speakers of the language In the meantime, know that some of the Scottish Gaelic names here on the map have been "reconstructed" as no officially sanctioned name for said places is approved yet. It is true only for some of the points of interests while all rail and subway stations names in both English and Gàidhlig are those officially used by their respective controlling bodies Hope you'll like this light-hearted and soft-on-the-eye snapshot of rail infrastructure in the beating heartland of Scotland!

• many minds | traversing the fourth dimension

• @kensycoop.bsky.social and dr. adam bulley dive into how humans mentally travel through time, discussing memory, foresight, and the psychology of imagining futures
• manyminds.libsyn.com/traversing-t...
Many Minds Podcast "Traversing the fourth dimension" My guest today is Dr. Adam Bulley. Adam is a psychologist and Postdoctoral Fellow affiliated with the University of Sydney and Harvard. Along with his co-authors Thomas Suddendori & Jonathan Redshaw, Adam recently published a book titled, "The Invention of Tomorrow: A Natural History of Foresight." In this conversation, Adam and I talk about two constructs central to the book-"mental time travel" and foresight. We discuss how these constructs relate to memory and to imagination. We dig into the question of whether our abilities to think ahead are really uniquely human. We review the archeological evidence for the emergence of foresight in our species' evolution. And we also touch on among other topics and tidbits— hoarding behavior in squirrels, tool use in chimpanzees, the Bischof-Köhler hypothesis, the control of fire, Incan quipus, hand axes, and longtermism.

Longtemps invisibilisés, les sourds et la langue des signes française (LSF) trouvent peu à peu leur place dans notre société. Cette renaissance sociale est la conséquence du « Réveil sourd» lors duquel, il y a 40 ans, des sourds ont revendiqué le droit d'utiliser leur langue dans tous les domaines, et notamment l'éducation. Entre 1880 et 1991, la langue des signes a été bannie de l'instruction des enfants sourds (au nom de l'usage exclusif du français parlé), dénigrée linguistiquement et les sourds socialement infériorisés. Les recherches traductologiques autour de la LSF sont donc récentes et en plein essor. Cet ouvrage collectif apporte sa pierre à l'édifice, fondamentale grâce à une réflexion pluridisciplinaire riche et approfondie.

Deep in the Mojave Desert, there is a little town with a big name and a bizarre history: California City. For decades, real estate developers have sold a dream here: if you buy land now, you’ll be rich one day. Thousands of people bought this dream. Many were young couples and hard-working immigrants looking to build a better future. But much of the land they bought is nearly worthless. In this new podcast from LAist Studios, host Emily Guerin tells a story of money, power and deception.
