I actually think they were worried, but because conservatives lack empathy....they cannot imagine people thinking differently than they do, so since they would be oppressive authoritarians if ever they got the chance, and so they assume everyone else wants to do the same thing.

part of what got south korea out under the thumb of authoritarian dictatorships and to real elections (1987) and free and fair ones (1992) were large, mass protests and demonstrations.
which is such an anodyne way of describing what happened. it makes it sound bloodless.
it wasn't.

my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.

Urban streets should be designed at a human scale, prioritizing the needs of people over vehicles. By right-sizing vehicles to fit these streets, we create safer, more affordable, and sustainable public spaces that support vibrant city life.

Profoundly disappointing that the @irishtimes.bsky.social would run a puff piece on an utterly unqualified influencer who puts vulnerable people at risk with their incessant scaremongering. Especially poor form that dieticians who repeatedly expressed their concerns were ignored..

Great way of putting it
A cyclist is only in your way if your starting presumption is that your journey in a car is more important than theirs on a bike.

Next year, the tax on these cars will double. On the face of it, this seems significant. But how do the new tax rates compare to our European neighbours?
It doesn’t change much. We move from being the 19th lowest to the 18th lowest for an average new petrol SUV.

A nice demonstration that all the world’s chimps typing randomly would not produce Shakespeare before the heat death of the universe. But curious how long it takes for microprocessors.

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
(It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)
