This is a great illustration of a change in infrastructure design that will save lives. The main costs being paint, street signs and traffic lights.
They call this a "bike boulevard" but what it actually is is a "Neighborhood Street." THIS is how you build streets through urban neighborhoods and we reclaim our cities from the harmful effects of cars.

Highly recommended #podcast speaking to #AUKUS and the reality of Australia handing over half a trillion of taxpayer's money, handing over real estate for military bases... and now watching who Trump is putting in charge of the US military
"This is the genius deal that our government has done."

Malcolm Turnbull joins the wonderful Dr Emma Shortis to discuss how AUKUS makes Aust. more dependent on the US, right as America becomes less dependable.

The move from Twitter to Bluesky is an exercise in social change that political campaigners should pay attention to and let into your thought orbits. It appeared to happen suddenly, but it was filling people's disapproval buckets over a longer time that caused it. 1/3

what makes this so beautiful is also that the character for "sorrow" (愁) is composed of "autumn" (秋) and "heart" (心)
One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox.
By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”
