Today I met with officials in Helsinki, which has had a ~75% drop in road deaths over the last thirty years (including recent years with no ped/cyclist deaths at all).
Me: “How much of a role has IT played in reducing crashes?”
City official: “Zero. We simply slowed down cars.”

Someone asked me why, at 50, I bothered finding out whether or not I have ADHD. Here's the answer: ADHDers are much more likely to die young due to accidents, addiction, suicide. Life expectancy is 13-25 years less than neurotypicals. Those on meds have a much better chance.

There’s a story behind the woods surrounding the meadow in this thread…
Quote Tweet
A film production made this completely fake house in a meadow in the woods near us a couple of years ago.
I don't know why, but it felt like it had an Indy 5 feeling to it.
I've been waiting two years to find out what it's in.
If you spot it in something, let me know

Ok, what the officials are going to attempt has never been done before, but tonight, under the cover of darkness, they’re going to surreptitiously join the end of the queue to the front of the queue to form a continuous circle of mourners that will survive now for generations.

Right, everyone. I need to be serious for a moment. Because the greatest thing that ever happened is happening right now.
I don't particularly care either way about the Queen. But the queue? The Queue is a triumph of Britishness. It's incredible.

Could you do everything you need without a car? Climate change and rising fuel costs are driving the move towards “15-minute”, walkable cities.
Copenhagen is aiming to be a 5-minute city, Melbourne is going for 10.

Girl With a Pearl Earring is a classic portrait by Johannes Vermeer, and you can really tell he tried hard on this one. But look at the lack of detail in her hair!
Fortunately with Stability, this can be easily rectified.

So anti-maskers will just sit and wait until their average life span become 60 or 50?
Seeking comfort from Covid minimizers and other liars?
Months ago, I felt it was necessary to tell the truth. Right now, I felt the mask war in twitter is very funny.
