One of the smartest investments a city can do.
Brisbane undertook tree planting ahead of the 1982 Commonwealth Games & Expo88, & since in key city streets. They’ve made the city Centre greener & more walkable.
Scaling this up ahead of the 2032 Olympic & Paralympic Games would leave a great legacy of a cooler, greener & more walkable city.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:
It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Yup.
I’m thinking that US voters being “furious about prices” when Trump’s fascist regime are attacking democracy, human rights, the environment & climate, public health, the global economy, the sovereignty of nations, a sane world order, and more, may be why the world will never trust U.S. voters again.
Americans are upset about prices & things are completely unraveling for Trump.
Americans were upset about prices under Biden & his poll numbers were like Trump's are now.
Americans were upset about prices when @kamalaharris.com ran & she nearly won. Says a lot about her strength as a candidate.
