Just so we're clear: 1⃣ The oil, gas, coal and meat industries are proceeding full tilt with their plan of making our planet unliveable for billions, pushing our climate out of the "human niche" where we can simply exist. Our governments are complicit. theguardian.com/environment/…

We're barrelling head first into a cataclysmic climate disaster of planetary scale, and our governments and economies are COMPLETELY disregarding the emergency exit that would spare us. We're not going to make it, and it's not because "solutions" don't exist. A 🧵, I guess. 1/

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes break traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people do so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonreid…

The fietstrommel (“bicycle drum”) has become a standard feature of the Rotterdam streetscape, with over 1,000 installed across the city. It plays a critical role in their mobility system, offering residents a secure and sheltered place to park their bike for about €5 per month. – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Yesterday, I attended a conference at which an influential financier shared this unpublished map. Look at it. The estimated death toll is 2-3 *billion*; the timeframe is 20-30 years (previously: 50). Segments of the elite have simply 'written off' large parts of the Global South.

How can you tell if a society oversubsidizes a certain good or service? When use statistics show that the product is used well beyond its intended use. Case: Distribution of trip distance with cars in Germany (by @joerg_spengler). Half of all trips are below 5km, 70% below 10.

"I built a parklet in a car parking space but it was removed by the council because it wasn’t a motor vehicle. I’ve now built a parklet which is a motor vehicle and so the space for the community is back. Enjoy!" ~@adamtranter

في هذا اليوم في عام 1936 ، قدم آلان تورينج ورقته البحثية "حول الأرقام القابلة للحساب ، مع تطبيق إلى Entscheidungsproblem" للنشر حيث افترض أن آلات تورينج الافتراضية ستكون قادرة على تنفيذ أي حساب رياضي يمكن تصوره إذا كان يمكن تمثيله كخوارزمية.
ON THIS DAY | In 1936, Alan Turing submitted a paper in which he postulated hypothetical Turing Machines would be capable of performing any conceivable mathematical computation if it were representable as an algorithm. #OnThisDay #OTD #Turing

The Revels LIFEbike is an #eBike with a difference. Its wacky design runs the pedal axle through the front wheel hub, thus drastically shortening the aluminum frame and eliminating the chain. As a result, it weighs in at 15 kg (33 lb) – newatlas.com/lifebike-electr…
