This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

Vissa krigshändelser får inte den uppmärksamhet de förtjänar. 🇺🇦 har på senare tid träffat viktiga mål i Leningrads län, t o m på andra sidan viken. Det är väldigt stor sak och något av ett mysterium (kan vi väl säga) hur de lyckats nå dit, förbi områden som borde vara fullproppade med luftförsvar.

Man jämnar allt som går att jämna med marken, man tvingar människor att svälta i veckor, sen lockar man dem med brödsmulor och skjuter ihjäl dem – för att "pausa nödhjälpen".
Och än idag försvarar vissa det här barbariet.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
