imagine transportation technology that increases the physical fitness of the user, improves the user’s mood, eliminates carbon, releases no exhaust pollution and very little particulate air or water pollution, promotes social interaction, is *silent* to operate, can be boosted with low amounts of energy inputs, can be infinitely modified for a range of (dis)abilities, cargo or passengers, and can be recycled and upcycled for a very long time…

good news: this technology is already here 🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🚴🏾‍♂️

@Koochulainn @RugbyNerd I'm close to tears watching Leinster vs Racing92. It's just amazing how the game has evolved in my lifetime - fitness, skills, rules, refereeing...

Every time I post objective info about #COVID19, some idiot responds with a variation of “What do you expect us to do, isolate forever?” or “Do you expect society to shut down?”

Black-or-white strawmen arguments drive me crazy. There is a world of things we can do between “pretend COVID doesn't exist” and “lock ourselves away forever.” In fact, if we did those things--safe air in public places, masks & behavior changes when COVID surges--we could control COVID & save the health of millions.

I think most of us will escape this as we didn't buy into this bubble of bullshit, but you do you Wired. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/crypto-ftx-collapse-genesis-gemini

No One Will Escape the FTX Fallout

Try as they might, crypto companies pressured by the trading platform’s collapse are failing to bail themselves out.

@jeff The replies to this post are interesting. "Fear of capitalism" often gets expressed as "fear of commerce." Paying for things doesn't mean capitalism. Paying for things preceded capitalism by at least 7,000 years, maybe 20,000.

And charging for stuff doesn't need to have a profit motive. You charge your friends for stuff every time you split the dinner bill. 🤔 And I hope none of y'all are marking that up!

Asking users for donations is pure and holy? But asking for subscriptions is dirty?

@shojiwax What say I? Nonsense, simple as that. There is an increase of people who believe the earth is flat and that chemtrails are a thing. All this shows is the signal-to-noise ratio of critical thinking is sadly diminished through the provision of easy projection of the voices of lazy idiots and an overly tolerant, bordering on cowardly acceptance for there being "space" for different opinions. Diluting the truth is just one more way to lie.

This is Mea Shearim Jewish street

Criticizing Israel and Zionism does not make you anti-Semitic. Criticizing the racist, Nationalist and non-religious practices of Israel and Zionism does not make you hostile to Judaism. Judaism is not Zionism. Anti-Zionism is not Antisemitism.

The last survivor of the last slave ship died in 1940. 1940. This is not ancient history.
