If you let them gatekeep who is allowed to be involved in your movement, that gate will keep getting narrower and narrower until your movement is dead. That's the whole point of the gatekeeping.
Truly inspiring story about fighting an expanding desert & flipping the narrative. In Xinjiang, China, the Taklimakan desert is now surrounded by 3000 km of man-made forest. 😱 The new ecosystem provides opportunities for farming, green energy & tourism. Middle East countries…
so Erdogan-Jolani took over Syria for their CIA-Mossad masters, then let them bomb and destroy all the military infrastructure including air defenses and got rid of the Russian protection while Turkey does nothing. Meanwhile their death-squads go around mass killing and raping…
This is fascinating: China is virtually unique in the Islamic world for having an established, centuries-old tradition of female imams (nü ahong - 女阿訇) in women-only mosques (known as nüsi, literally "women’s temple"). In these mosques, the female imams lead women-only…
When you advocate for walkable cities and people show up yelling "You're trying to take our cars away!" those people know you're not trying to take anyone's car away. They're shills paid by corporations in industries that benefit from people being forced to own cars.
The truth is that America is already living in a post-collapse world, when you examine the Rust Belt. The industrial heart of the country, the part that both made and distributed material prosperity across the nation, has been hollowed out. Yet society still goes on.
Posting a video of me walking through a playground with my friend while loudly telling him "DON'T molest any of these children" over and over again and then captioning the video SEE THIS PROVES HE'S NOT A CHILD MOLESTER!!
When you look past the headlines and Hamas’ lies, the truth is clear: Israel is not at war with the people of Gaza. Today, many civilians advance toward the soldiers, the only order given to our troops is: do not engage, do not shoot. Watch the encounter:
You need to be a special kind of psychopath to think these images somehow reflect well on you: a large group of emaciated and obviously desperate civilians in a landscape of total desolation that you caused, scrambling towards a rare aid truck while your soldiers have to be…

With help from @Chris_Smeder, @JonathanHillis, @levin_phil, @devonzuegel, @damonhemmerding, @Cobylefko, @jansramek, @AustinTunnell and @davegordon14, I made this wishlist of changes that could make it easier to build more beautiful & walkable places. Somewhat ranked in order of…
The mass atrocity in Gaza is a genocide, obviously, and is an undisguised ethnic cleansing operation. But it's also a lot more than that. It's an experiment — to see what kinds of abuses the public will accept without causing significant disruption to the imperial status quo.…
Its somewhat comforting that short of destroying the world in a murder suicide, there's ultimately nothing The Empire can do to stop the serious progress happening elsewhere in the world
A new high-speed rail line linking Xi'an and Chongqing is rising fast. How's it built? Think massive LEGOs, only heavier, faster, and far more precise!😃
The holocaust of Gaza is far more morally corrosive to our shared humanity than the Nazi holocaust because the perpetrators don't hide it, our governments openly support it, we have daily social media updates and still it continues. This will scar all of us for generations
Several friends who have lived in the suburbs all their lives mentioned they wanted to move to more walkable neighborhoods. Yes, they used the word, "walkable". People are tired of spending so much time and money on cars. They want mobility options. I think America's…
Road wear is a function of axle weight to the 4th power. A small car does ~55 *thousand* times as much damage as a pedestrian. If we walked, biked and had trains, our roads would last nearly forever.We have made roads disposable at enormous economic and environmental costs.
A well-preserved 45-metre stretch of a Roman side road (diverticulum) leading to the Appian Way under the McDonald's in Frattocchie, southeast of Rome. The road was discovered during the 2014 construction of the building. McDonald’s decided to sponsor the dig and worked with the…
Congrats @guardian, this is easily one of the most dishonest articles I've read in a long time, just pure ideological propaganda. In short the article's main thesis is that climate change is a "democracy" vs "autocracies" issue whereby virtuous "democracies" are struggling…
The only reason American car companies still exist is because we've banned the import of Chinese cars
No driver. No hesitation. At 74.5 mph, YANGWANG U9 soared 6 meters—on its own. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the future, in motion.
🇨🇳 China just launched a worker-robot that can swap out its own battery at a charging spot and get straight back to work.
Check this out: South Korea wants to have control of its own military during wartime! Yeah, for 70 years, the US has been in charge of the Korean military! And the US refuses to handover the control, even though Koreans have demanded their sovereignty repeatedly, especially…
