  • This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area

  • Lol sure, if you can call flying middle-seat economy on Indigo once every few months "rich people" behavior

  • Yep, I use it every time I need to get to the airport

  • ...and then he went to a village of 265 people, which still has a bus stop with a bicycle rack and buses that come every 12 minutes.

  • Higher-caste. Dalit is the lowest caste in Hinduism

  • I'm in Mumbai. The 37km north-south journey from one end of the city to the other costs 20¢ on the local train. $1.20 if you want to ride the fancy train with AC. East-west is 13km and costs 50¢ on the elevated metro line.

  • As someone forced to ride my bike right next to thundering trucks and cars on the roads every day, I can't begin to enumerate how many close calls I've had because there are no bike lanes here.

  • Found one and updated it!

  • That is, unfortunately, pretty accurate

  • They're also trying to make a movie about Hind Rajab's murder while her family is still stuck under the genocidal occupation that killed her

  • Cops prioritizing flow of traffic over actual human lives.

  • Just about every state and province in North America could claim that title once you're outside the bigger cities

  • Israeli use of human shields in Gaza was systemic, soldiers and former detainees tell the AP

  • PSA: On my way to get groceries today, I saw this big beefy guy (slowly) riding a big beefy motorcyle...with his extremely floofy cat perched on the handlebars.

  • I'd honestly love to take my cats along on a motorbike ride, but that would mean subjecting them to the hellscape that is Mumbai's traffic, so...I'm not about to do that. Props to the guy who did, but nah

    I just came across an AI called Sesame that appears to have been explicitly trained to deny and lie about the Palestinian genocide

  • ...and also isn't stealing shit and wrecking the environment.

  • You're not wrong, but Sabine Hossenfelder is not a good source for well, anything (except physics, which she has excellent grounding in).

  • He's a fed himself, is the point I'm making. He's not some innocent patsy being framed, he's in on the entire thing for the optics of it

  • No I get that, but there's this prevailing sentiment that cars are somehow more necessary in rural areas because...they're not worth serving with transit or something? I don't know. I think it's ridiculous. Big cities should obviously have excellent transit and non-car infrastructure but so should small towns and villages

  • You're so right actually. All of the facts are absolutely being reported with pinpoint accuracy and zero bias or obfuscation by official sources and media that absolutely haven't demonstrated a consistent slant towards a certain side for the entire duration of this latest round of genocide in particular and the entire struggle in general.

    Come to think of it, I'm sure the timing of this event, coming at a time when that particular side is actually starting to lose substantial support in the court of public opinion as well as in actual criminal courts, is completely circumstantial and coincidental -- as is the fact that the perpetrator is part of a "leftist" organization that is notoriously riddled with feds to keep an eye on the movement, or the fact that he was treated with kid gloves and allowed to shout FREE PALESTINE loud and clear for the cameras to capture, by a police force that normally shoots kids with toy guns -- the same police force that was pointing guns at Aaron Bushnell as he burned to death.

    Completely above board and natural, I'm certain.

  • Funny you should mention Asian countries, considering both I and the author of the tweet in the screenshot live in an Asian country. We do use individual transport -- but it's not cars, it's usually motorbikes or scooters. The "meme" (actually a serious opinion from someone who studies urbanism and transport for a living) is aimed at manufacturers and governments (like mine) who are pushing electric cars that most people can't afford (and that people in rural areas definitely can't afford) to the exclusion of public transit, which practically everyone can afford.
