Silicon Valley wants to make cities more efficient by taking away anything that makes them enjoyable.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @jomc to discuss why robotaxis and delivery bots aren’t solving any real problems with transport and cities.

…a #government #shutdown …will force active-duty service members to continue to serve WITHOUT PAY….

During a #GovernmentShutdown, all active-duty personnel, as well as #NationalGuard who are currently deployed, must carry out their assigned duties WITHOUT PAY until the shutdown is over….

This includes the #military #Trump has deployed to #cities in the #US to purportedly fight *crime* / assist #ICE.

"This is not normal. It’s dangerous af. …

Trump was open about how he wants the military to engage with civilians: He said that 'quell[ing] civil disturbances' is 'going to be a big thing for the people in this room.' …

The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. They now understand how Trump intends to use their forces."

"The American left: 'They’re really bad. They’re bad people.' Again, he’s talking about Americans here.

His own domestic political opponents: 'They’re vicious people that we have to fight, just like you have to fight vicious people. Mine are a different kind of vicious.'

American journalists: 'sleazebags.'

Residents of American inner cities: 'animals.'”

"President Trump did not have many bad things to say about America’s foreign adversaries. He spoke about Vladimir Putin in largely neutral terms (only saying he was 'disappointed' in him) and barely mentioned China.

He did, however, speak with great moral clarity about certain classes of Americans whom he views as a grave threat:"

Soon, bulldozers are expected to rumble into Asia's largest slum, in the heart of the Indian megalopolis of Mumbai, flattening its labyrinth of filthy alleyways for a brand-new neighborhood. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/27/asia-pacific/society/india-slum-gentrification/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #india #development #cities #housing #poverty #gautamadani

As the population of Spain's rural regions continues to fall, raising fears that smaller towns and villages may eventually vanish, public and private actors are experimenting with ways to reverse the demographic decline. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/12/world/society/spain-rural-regions-revitalize/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #spain #depopulation #tourism #rurallife #cities

The future of #cars is to NOT be individually owned, and to be a last resort means of transportation.

Reducing drastically the share cars take in our transportation, the space they take when parked in our #cities, the #hospital beds they fill with #roadCasualties, is vital to our #climate, our #wellbeing and our #health.

We should invest in #rail and #bike #infrastructure, and not replace 260 million cars by as many e-cars.

Unlike the recent federal #takeover of policing in #WashingtonDC, the #Chicago operation is not expected to rely on the #NationalGuard or #military & is focused exclusively on immigration instead of being cast as part of a broad campaign against crime, the ofcls said.

As the population concentration in Tokyo is accelerating, the government has begun to take a different approach to help stem depopulation in regional areas and rev up local economies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/18/japan/post-war-tokyo-overconcentration/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #tokyo #population #depopulation #rurallife #cities #decentralization

Crowded cafés in a laneway in Utrecht's car-free CBD. Again showing people don't care about streetfront parking in nice pedestrianised streets.

Pittsburgh "plans to dim the new lights between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., which will save energy and money, and, according to the city, cause less harm to migratory birds, urban wildlife and humans."
