@lori Hi, librarian here. I recommend using your public library site to find free ebooks; free access to databases that contain billions of actual, real articles and other information sources; and—best of all—free access to trained librarians. 👍

As for Google, it’s not going to improve because, you know, profit. But try this format, which limits results to universities and pdf files, to see if you get better answers:

I hope for your sake and Milan’s that it comes to fruition. At least y’all are planning. I’d love to see more U.S. cities proposing city-wide bike and walking paths.

MILAN has approved a £200 million plan to create a new 750km network of bike paths linking 80% of the city to bike paths, & connect the city to surrounding areas. The goal is to achieve a 20% modal shift to biking by 2035.
Strategy & leadership.

We just watched Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. Not going to say it was bad. Not going to say it was great. It did make me look up an interesting article about the history of the story. Maybe don’t let young kids watch it though. #CreepyPinocchio #PinocchioForAdults

The article: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20221207-pinocchio-the-scariest-childrens-story-ever-written

Pinocchio: The scariest children's story ever written

If a billionaire gives you a selective batch of his company's documents and tells you to write about them, you aren't doing journalism.

You're doing PR work.

Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.

As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.

@tomolefe I cannot find it online or in ebook. I guess you could ask your library to get it via ILL but that could take a while. If it helps, here’s a list of other writings by the author, including a 2005 article on the cooperative topic with a link to the full-text:
