The human race is screwed. The number of people replying to arguments with AI responses and claiming it is "proof" of something. AI just amalgamates stuff it finds into a coherent response, it doesn't care if it is right or wrong. Read the evidence yourself people!

Excellent example of good Dutch street design. This bidirectional cycle track bends away from the road at a side street, crossing at a safe distance with clear priority for cyclists, then smoothly returns. Safe, intuitive, and effective!

Oh no, someone's made some stickers to stick on controlled pedestrian crossing points in an attempt to encourage the council to change the timings.

Hard to be motorist on ‘modest income’, says Starmer
He made the comments as the Government unveiled plans for councils to prove they are tackling the issues or face losing the cash to fix them.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

There is something deeply absurd about the modern pedestrian crossing. You press the beg-button and then you wait. And wait. And wait.
Interminable wait times reveal a deeper pathology. The pedestrian is, at best, an afterthought - at worst, an obstruction.

Nye tall fra Helsedirektoratet viser at vi sparer:

Det er sammenlignet med at folk ikke er i fysisk aktivitet, f.eks. om de kjører bil.

In Britain it's about Councils saying that want cities for people while really doing everything possible not to upset motorists
“The lesson from the Netherlands isn’t just about bike lanes or trains; it’s about ambition.
It’s about designing cities for people, not just cars.
It’s about leaders stepping up, citizens demanding more and breaking out of the status quo to embrace something better.”
