3D map of the Chongqing Metro that shows the elevation and decline of each line, with some essentially looking like roller coasters

(Chongqing is the Chinese city that went viral for showing how you could be on the ground floor but then walk a bit and be on the 22nd floor, due to the hilly terrain)

A promotional banner for the Vanishing Culture Book Launch at the Internet Archive. On the left, bold text reads "Vanishing Culture Book Launch, Thursday April 23, Doors @ 5:30pm, Program @ 6pm, Internet Archive, 300 Funston Ave., San Francisco." On the right, a graphic illustration depicts cultural artifacts including a VHS tape, an open book, a film reel, a vinyl record, and a CD, all dissolving into a cascade of black and white pixels, evoking the loss of digital and physical media. A pixelated pointing hand cursor and the word "SAVE" appear at the bottom, alongside the Internet Archive logo.

Join us IN PERSON at the Internet Archive for a live event celebrating the launch of VANISHING CULTURE, a new book from the Internet Archive about the fight to preserve our fragile digital history.

Mamdani hasn't had time to really think about all that space he now has, because he spends most of his time at City Hall and around New York City. He tries to keep a semblance of his old life by getting around the city on foot, by bike or train. "If you spend every single day driving around in a tinted window security detail, you will have a very specific view of the city," he said. "You actually meet other New Yorkers and you break out of the bubble that so many have come to expect of politics, where politicians only seem to be spending time with other politicians or the people who donated to make them politicians."

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example.

"I miss when sugar barons or railroad tycoons got the big mansions in Pac Heights, not these losers."

Me too, TK. Me too.

If you're a San Franciscan (or are interested in our fair city, as everyone should be) you really ought to subscribe to TK. Always informative, always sardonically funny. 👍

Can’t believe the news, Disney shutting down the marvel. vis dev department. This teams art made them billions and billions of dollars, but it seems that paying a handful or so of fulltime illustrators is simply too much to ask these days.

Emails Reveal Space Force’s Hardest Mission Is Writing a Song Internal Space Force emails obtained by 404 Media show the work it takes to have a government agency make a new theme song. A general even wanted to start the whole thing over again.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Time to start having some really obtuse f-d up zoom calls 😂 I’ll host zooms about warhammer cat costumes. Podcast THAT, clankers!

That is the kind of thing i need to see 😂😂😂😂 Daria ftw

A thoughtful answer to this won’t fit on this short form posting service but trust me they always do. Wasted a lot of years working for them and its a zombie party at this point

“The Democrats” (whoever they are ) should but we all know they won’t. Instead they’ll invent a new way to spend a fortune and lose the election anyway.

Love this!!!

Had an absolute blast in downtown Fairfax.

Took two ferries & a glorious 35-minute bike ride and felt transported in a Marin County town that values activist, art and community. And the town's history is soooo wild.
