“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS!!!!

✔️ I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.

✔️ I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

✔️ I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default

✔️ I want the country to own it.

It’s Public Domain Day 2023 and lots of interesting works from 1927 are entering the public domain. Newly PD films I’d recommend are Metropolis (Fritz Lang), Wings (William A. Wellman) and Sunrise (F.W. Murnau). Archive.org is a good place to find them, e.g. https://archive.org/details/metropolis.1927.fritz-lang
