This city definitely needs more diamond lanes for transit. It's taken four light cycles for this bus to go a block. Outrageous!

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading
"AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."

Fin artikel om “The planetary health diet”.

En diet som er sund og afbalanceret for kroppen, miljøet og klimaet, og som både giver plads til kød og fisk, men selvfølgelig mest grøntsager og fuldkorn. Og som kan være helt vildt lækker! 😋

“DoorDash intends to send autonomous robots into bike-lanes.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social

Here’s what’s frustrating…who cares what they “intend?” It’s up to City Hall what’s allowed in bike-lanes, NOT COMPANIES!

Stop acting like tech companies should be able to do whatever they want in cities.

In cities, street space is a really scarce (and under-valued) commodity. Increasing vehicle size costs everyone.

And vehicle weight determines your impact on the wear-and-tear of cities.

So this kind of public policy is really just common sense.

𝚃𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚜 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚎 🚇 @taras-grescoe.com · 8d

On Sunday, #Zürich residents voted 52.8% in favor of increasing parking fees for cars according to weight.

The owner of a BMW X2 (Diesel), which weighs 1,675 kilograms, will now pay equivalent of €717 Euros per year to park on a public street. (Before, about €321.)

Direct democracy!
