Claudia Cardinale, monument du cinéma, est morte, à 87 ans. Née en Tunisie, elle avait surgi "par accident" dans le cinéma et n’en était plus jamais sortie.

“Many Swedish cities, including #Stockholm, prioritize snow clearance very differently. They now clear walkways & bike paths first, especially those near bus stops & primary schools. Next, they clear local roads, & then, finally, highways.”

Why Sweden Clears Snow-Covered Walkways Before Roads — Streetsblog USA
It's part of "gender-balanced" policy that reflects the fact that women walk more than men.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

It's so weird how LLMs know so much about things I don't know anything about, and yet make fundamental and basic errors about things I do know anything about. Oh well, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

I was supposed to be working in the US this week, but my client couldn't guarantee my ability to cross the border or my safety in doing so. We managed to get the job done virtually, but it really is astounding that we're in this position.

It happened all SO quickly, but please don't normalize it.
Trump's tariff war: Canada's sovereignty is the real issue, trade expert warns

There’s no point in negotiating further with the sexual predator in charge of the 🇺🇸rogue state that can’t be relied on for anything.
Let’s drive on, Canada, grit our teeth in readiness for hard times, and reconstruct our future.
We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.

Canada: Walk away from negotiations. Don't retaliate. Diversify. Find new markets. Buy European military equipment. Reinstate the digital services tax. Let Americans pay more for the things they want from us. Keep up the public boycott. Welcome American refugee talent. Be Canadian. #cdnpoli #USpoli

None of the blatant evil from Trump, the GOP and MAGA has surprised me. What’s surprised me most is the lack of fight, the belly-showing, the outright cowardice, from so much of American society. Boy did the myth of American strength oversell itself.

Don’t like what I’m saying? Prove me wrong.

For any Canadian who may have been slacking in the #ElbowsUp department lately, we get it. It can be challenging. But please, it's time to get those elbows up again and boycott items and services from the US, as much as possible.

I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero

Seriously, stop letting bad politicians own and weaponize the phrase “common sense.”

Take it back.
Paris & @annehidalgo.bsky.social are praised for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get nearly enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’re doing is common sense.

They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air & cooling the city.

I’m increasingly convinced by the argument China’s decade-long investment to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, and particularly imports, is not only creating a new electrified model that other South countries can benefit from, but is leaving the West behind because it can’t ditch fossil fuels.
