there is a years long moral panic ongoing to force LGBT ppl, and esp trans ppl, out of public life. their books are banned; they are being targeted in secondary and higher ed; their healthcare is being slashed; their passports are being revoked.

Really clear messaging from the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. At this point, it's not going to convince a ton of people to start masking, but it may encourage folks who already mask to keep it up - & it may remind others that masking is an expert-recommended NPI, not a weird obsession.

In most cities, Costco stores fuel sprawl & car dependency.
In Vancouver, our full-sized downtown Costco has residential towers above & a skytrain station next door. LOTS of customers don’t drive to it.
We live a block from it. We call it “the convenience store.”

Writing is literally finding these transitions, thinking through the big picture and the little, making sense of the events. The idea of handing off this process to AI is just shocking, and the fact that AI guys don't understand that suggests they do not understand much about art or writing.

The feeling of finishing up a long paper in the hours before it's due is an ELITE adrenaline rush that gives you the confidence of someone who thinks they killed god.
every young person should have the pleasure of this flash of self confidence. using AI is robbing yourself of yourself.

I see car brain is an international condition. You wouldn’t know it from the below post, but the it was the scooter rider who was killed, hit by a motorist. And other reports say the motorist was drunk and fled the scene
As another person died following an accident with an e-scooter in Brussels last weekend, calls are rising to reduce the maximum speed to 20 km/h.
Higher speed means greater impact: e-scooter speed limits under scrutiny after another death
