It's incredible how much space is given to a few people in motor vehicles vs so many more people on foot or wheels. It's a vast inequity.

Nowhere is this more stark than #ShibuyaCrossing; the world's busiest pedestrian crossing with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time. Compared to around 12 cars fromone direction of the junction in one sequence. #Urbanism #CitiesForPeople

@ZeKik Congratulations to him! Lots of positives to studying abroad. Biggest issue currently in Dublin is an accommodation shortage so I would contact TCD straightaway to see if they offer accommodation to overseas students.

Complicated background, but TL;DR:

* FB leaked sensitive details about 100s of millions of users.
* We complained to the DPC.

* We have now appealed that DPC decision to the courts.
* We will later bring a representative action against FB on behalf of affected users.

Wired: Getting Chat-GPT to also write the references it hallucinated and then also insert them into Wikipedia and self-publish them as ebooks so the library can find them next time
