The entire practice of sprinkling two-way stops into a network of four-way stops is based on a traffic engineer myth that drivers experience so-called "stop sign fatigue," and that reducing the number of stop signs increases compliance.

🚨New paper on heatwaves in a net zero world 🚨

In our study, led by @sarahinscience.bsky.social, we find that the intensity, length and frequency of heatwaves do not return to pre-industrial levels under net zero - and in many regions barely improve at all.

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

As nations KEEP FAILING on #ClimateAction, cities must DOUBLE their efforts & actions on #ClimateChange mitigation though the SIGNIFICANT power of land-use and transportation decisions, which are within the power of cities and are TRANSFORMATIVE in addressing the #ClimateCrisis.

Further & faster.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

I'm wondering how the hell delegates and members from the COP30 presidency were saying this morning that COP30 was going to bring in advancements regarding adaptation when the draft decision created no obligations, intends to only "inform" politics and disrespects previous expert-led indicators.

Pretty much everyone agrees that e.g. Harvey Weinstein had vast power over the news media - catching and killing/legal threats to kill negative stories about him and his crimes while planting negative stories about his accusers - but if you suggest a similar phenomenon exists for political journos..

The polls of people who actually watched the debate showed Biden losing badly... by the exact same margin that Trump lost the Harris debate. But Trump by contrast didn't have weeks of drumbeat, full-court-press news afterwards about his debate failure - media instead dropped the story
