No one will ever convince me I didn't just invent "cat and paste" @darthbluesky.bsky.social

It’s fascinating (on a serious note) how different our internal selves and experiences of the world can be, and we all somehow kind of don’t notice - I have a friend who realized he had aphantasia in his 40s who always thought eg “picture a ball rolling down a hill” was just a figure of speech

ElevenLabs Summit: An Audiobook Company That Isn’t About Audiobooks - Publishing Perspectives ElevenLabs is reshaping the audiobook industry. But its recent London summit made clear that audiobooks are just one vertical among many for a company now valued at $11 billion.

Graphic full of stats on vehicle inefficiencies.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

Limberlost Place: Toronto’s timber tower aims high Limberlost stretches building codes and gives architects and engineers a new system of open-sourced solutions

WANT: wooden high-rises, like this academic building in Toronto. Better than steel-and-concrete in nearly every way — including smell.

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan There is too much bluff and bluster on this subject. Ordinary people just want safe streets for themselves and those they love, and we can achieve that, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives & don’t slow traffic. Implement them.— @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social.

“Despite what detractors might claim, 20mph speed limits haven’t actually made journeys slower because journey times are largely dictated by junction delays, not vehicle speed.”
