“Walkable neighbourhoods aren’t scary, they’re convenient.”
By the Urban Truth Collective
Picture of a walkable corner coffee shop along a shopping street in Brooklyn, New York.
You know what’s ACTUALLY scary?
That some very wealthy corporations and people badly want you to be afraid of more walkable, less car dependent, neighbourhoods.

imagine sitting on a potential challenger to the current bloc of social media platforms people are on but dislike for various reasons and going "no, no I must burn through my userbase's goodwill as fast as possible because I'm too bitter that funny trans women are more popular than AI dweebs"

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

So much of our language reflects
the common “car first” bias around our streets, & we should never forget that much of that language was the result of deliberate campaigns to specifically re-write our perspective of streets as “for cars only.” This is one of the more subtle, but important, examples.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the peninsula west of the city. A single unused rail line can be seen running up the middle of the peninsula. The harbor and industrial area is visible in the bottom right of the image.
A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the peninsula west of the city, now cut off by the harbor and thus turned into an island. The harbor is expanded along the canal and transport infrastructure has been massively expanded. A high arch road bridge and a low rail drawbridge are crossing the canal, currently ending in an empty grass field.

A new canal has been dug to allow for future planned ship routes across the harbor. This cut off the peninsula west of the city, turning it into an island and creating more space for future expansions of the harbor :)

Art by flaroh illustration; on the left, a couple are walking past the thermopolium wearing their finery. On the right, two children play in the road with their dog while their nursemaid orders them onto the pavement. Behind them, a matrona enters the street from some steps, shielding her eyes from the sun while her attendant holds a parasol. Across the road from the two, a togate man and his two attendants walk towards the thermopolium and are acknowledged by one of the old-timers at the door. Moving further to the background, a donkey cart loaded with amphora approaches the stepping stones. To its left two people chat at the fountain, and a child plays with his doll next to the man. Above, people look out from windows and balconies, gossiping or doing household chores.

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

“Novice Occultist” is a painting by the artist Zara Alfonso, done for the Magic: The Gathering Innistrad Midnight Hunt set. A young girl from Innistrad crouches in the center of a salt circle lined with cuts of steak on the floor of a farmhouse. She hold a candle above her head in one hand, and a knife in the other.

Es gibt genug andere Parteien die man wählen kann. Es ist eine Sache, zu sagen "ich find ⬛🟥🟩🟨 scheiße und will die nicht wählen." Es ist was ganz anderes, darauf zu folgen mit "also wähle ich Nazis." Ersteres ist komplett verständlich, zweiteres ist inakzeptabel.

The square on the right used to be a big parking lot. And their were 4 car lanes instead of 2 for public transport.
Like many other cities, Utrecht was very much car-oriented.
But Utrecht made some tough and bold choices and became the city many people admire today.
Change is possible!

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

This makes a lot of sense because the amount of money that people have is 100% determined by their income and nobody ever has to pay for things like food and rent. I am very smart.
(rises in the cost of living has significantly outpaced median income since 2020)
