How Finland won the war on homelessness (mostly)
How Finland won the war on homelessness (mostly)
At the end of 2022, only 479 people were living outside, in stairways or in Finland’s last-remaining overnight shelters.

We don’t talk enough about the importance of standard components in a greener economy. Engineers always say “but *our* design for battery/connector/module is 2% better than a standard one”, missing the point that it’s far worse for repair, reuse, recycling & minimising extra “stuff”. It’s maddening.
It’s time for THE charger.
Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.
It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

Remember when Mayor Adams got indicted and most of his administration resigned for being in on it and then he got to just keep being mayor.

This chart comparing shooting incidents to media coverage gets me every single time. You can see the spike when Eric Adams was trying to win his primary and how that became the norm as soon as cop mayor took office.

Welcome to the new NBA
The Sixers did something last night that is almost impossible...
They beat Boston, on the road, in a game where the Celtics hit a ton of threes.
Coming into last night, the Celtics had only lost ONE home game in the last *three* seasons where they shot 40%+ from three.

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water.
Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

Every person should know first aid & CPR.
A jogger collapsed in Central Park last month. His heart stopped and two women, both doctors, immediately began CPR. The strangers exchanged names; they were both named Flavia.
That man survived and a new friendship between the three families was formed.

It has been a long while since I've read a book I disliked as much as the one I just finished, and it's a good reminder that not every book is for everyone. And that's okay! Read what you like and write what you need to--someone out there might hate it, but others will love it.

i think the issue is that everything in terms of posts you see (or not) has to be public in order for the protocol to work. like how even blocks are public

I’m so glad Andrew Tate was denied a voice here. Why should we be confronted with his aggressive misogyny and homophobia? Why should he get to spew his hatred anywhere? Of course we can reject him and all he stands for. It needs to be our response more often.
Thank you 🦋

Yesterday, Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah turned 43 years old, marking his 11th birthday behind bars, away from his family and friends.
May it be the last one apart from his loved ones.
Thinking of him as he is held illegally in custody beyond the completion of his sentence.
