From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

ps. wish I had solutions to offer

Good point. But one may add, sadly :

iii. anything like MS word is AI software now (see autocomplete) and virtually impossible to avoid completely ; iv. the notion of (dis)proving or quantifying use of AI software seems fantasy moving forward ; v. clicking terms and conditions is pretty much mand..

Layoff notices at JPL are going out today.

About 11% of the Lab, or 550 people, are being let go.

I'm thinking of my friends and colleagues there, some of whom will still be employed after today and some of whom won't.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

"Make cities safe and fun for kids to run around and play in" is a pretty good guiding light for urban planning

A perfect illustration of which "lifestyle" actually imposes itself on public space, public safety, and the public purse.

I am definitely with you on the need for enforcement. Even police cars commonly park in bike lanes where I am at ...

Sorry I have not watched the clip. In the strange world where I live (USA) ebike is used equally for things that self propel a bit or fully.

So do I, like electric motor bikes and scooters. Especially when they ride with the rest of the motorized vehicles in their lanes, rather than in bicycle lanes or on sidewalks
