  • Not Just Bikes — This is Why Cycling is Dangerous in America [Nebula]

  • Over 90 minutes, yikes! I don't want to spend that much time on John Forester. I'm gonna go bike instead.

  • Some good observations and some software suggestions, but I don't think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I'm using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I'm pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.

    Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.

  • Has nobody shown the government of Jersey any Strong Towns or City Beautiful videos explaining the damage done by parking minimums?

  • Is Jersey British? I suspect it's controversial.

  • On some things, but not everything. Their "Plan A" environmental commitment seems sometimes worth the extra cost, too.

  • Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor's race, capping a stunning ascent

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's not how socialism is used in most of the world. It's to the right of communism, to the left of social democratic, not really encountered the others enough to know where they stand, except anarchism is off on another axis. Communists may see socialism as a step towards them, but socialism doesn't necessarily mean collectives, as other forms of ownership are accepted. Look at the principles of groups like Socialist International.

  • It's more part of socialism than it is of liberalism! Liberals generally want the least property regulation needed for their system to work, whereas socialists want the means of production to be owned by the workers or users, depending what sort of socialists.

    Are you confusing socialism with communism? Communism is more likely to say everything should be common property.

  • Sadly, but which of course doesn't imply the reverse.

  • You write like those things are incompatible and liberal socialists don't exist in most other countries.

  • NYC has lots of foreign residents and visitors, maybe the most of any USA city, so isn't a foreign-born mayor there more than merely 'internal news'? It's not like the mayoral election of Nowhere, North Dakota.

  • Crime network behind UK mini-marts is enabling migrants to work illegally

  • Blair's government removed their permission to work while waiting for decision. That seems to have created an immoral incentive for decisions to be made very slowly at some later point, because if the government doesn't decide, the ignorant can't complain as much about refugees taking jobs.

  • 8.8 million population, which probably means a bit less than 7 million potential voters because kids and others can't vote and it's a relatively young city. Only 5 million registered to vote at present.

    So still 2 million is worryingly low, but not as bad as if there were 8m potential voters.

  • UK to criminalise protests outside homes of public officials under new law

  • Doesn't that just lead to rule by the arrogant and insensitive?

  • This major UK city will trial free public transport in 2026

    Jump

  • Free at the point of use. Like freeways but transport. Still has to be paid for somehow, but is called free. More accessible than some transport projects, so it seems like a good move.

  • Because they feel this is more of a priority than climate change, the cost of living, air pollution, ...?

    I wonder how many areas don't have some local councillor's home in them, given that most of England still has county, district and town/parish councils, each with between 12 and 90 councillors. This law could easily have some unforseen consequences.
