Emissions from motor vehicles could have decreased by over 30% from 2010 to 2022 if not for the popularity of SUVs. More pedestrians would be alive too.

Motor emissions could have fallen 30% more without SUV trend, report says

Global fall averaged 4.2% between 2010 and 2022 but would have been far more if vehicle sizes stayed same

Sure "No Fascists Allowed" is an enforceable and testable rule.

"Is this person a fascist?"

Ban them.

"How do you define fascist?"

They act in ways similar to how other fascists act. They act in ways that promote nationalism, authoritarianism, racism, sexism, bigotry, antisemitism, and/or support people and organizations that do the same. Those are fascists.

The fact that people are so worried about how to define fascists is because they want to know exactly how much of all of that behavior they can get away with before getting banned. So you start with "No Fascists Allowed". Tell them right up front NONE of that shit is allowed. If they're arguing about how you should allow a little of it, that's because they want to do a whole lot of it, so you just skip to the end and ban them.

No Fascists Allowed mens you don't have to allow fascists a platform to spread their garbage. You don't have to wait until they break a rule in your particular space. If you figure out they're a J6er or a Qanon or whatever just straight up ban them, even if they've never been caught doing shit in your space - because they will. Eventually. And you probably won't hear about it or see it until after they've already gotten a bunch of their friends into the space and already driven out a bunch of marginalized people.

Zero. Tolerance. For. Fascists.

if AI companies get access to all copyrighted works for free because "it isn't possible to train an AI without it", should we not give free access to all copyrighted works to children because it is not possible to train one without it?

One of the most beautiful things in the world remains the moment in one of the final Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 cutscenes where Tim Curry _barely_ holds it together. Both that it exists, and that that's the take they went with.

In Australia, Mining companies blow up Mesolithic sites and noone bats an eye.

British heritage is important, brown people’s not so much.

Me: I'm just going to bike my kid to elementary school, that should be fun for us.

*Multiple rallies, demonstrations, stunts, interviews, media, lectures, presentations, workshops, writing, creative + strategy projects, t shirts and 70,000 tweets later....*

Ok that went slightly sideways.

City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost!!

Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane?

City: No, we’ll lose parking spots.
