@Boenau I think an even better conversation would be "sure, let's figure out where we take the money from" because we already know that cycling infrastructure is always an improvement in terms of better quality of life for any living being.

@Sosportatemivia Digli che invece tu lo sai e che hai di meglio da fare. A me dopo 23 anni e una figlia ha detto che aveva bisogno di vivere un po' per conto suo. Non ho scoperto un'altra. Sinceramente non ha importanza se avesse un'altra o meno, quel che conta è cosa ha fatto a me.

So excited... watching The Goonies for the first time with my 9 y.o. tonight.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

The Goonies (1985) is childhood adventure distilled into pure nostalgia. Treasure maps, booby traps, and a band of misfits reminding you why getting lost was never a problem.

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes.

[Best of Kubrick @KubrickPoint]

You won’t see a fight scene this well-choreographed and executed in a Marvel movie. Cinema was never the same after Kubrick.

Painted cycle lanes are useless. Imagine we treated child safety the same way.

@gANDALFbOOM 🍌🥒🥕 so are these 😂

The performance continues.

@SHL0MS

Here’s the uncomfortable part: be honest with yourself.
Did you recognize the real Monet in front of you?

Because the moment you actually stop and look, the whole construction begins to collapse.
This was never really about AI, nor about the image itself.
It worked because people don’t look anymore, they react.
The piece is about us.

Very few people even paused to question the “AI” label. That alone says enough.
Most accepted the premise instantly and rushed to participate in the discourse.

And that’s where the real work begins.
It becomes a psychological exercise in crowd behaviour, projection, and the constant compulsive need to engage.

The urge to react, to belong, to insert an opinion into everything , it’s relentless.

What’s fascinating is that even after many realized what was happening, the performance didn’t stop.
People continue commenting, debating, defending, attacking, reposting.
In other words: feeding the work itself.

Because the piece only exists as long as attention sustains it.

The more we engage, the longer the performance continues and the more value we collectively assign to it.
What the performance reveals about us is not especially flattering thought…

Act I: learning to see.
Act II: learning to think.
Act III: learning to stop…?

Well played, Shl0ms.

It spreads fast.

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine.

We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave.

It was a wonderful kind of day.

We are 100% 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗣𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻!

We reject a label invented by traffic engineers to reduce us to a data point in a model and discipline us with rules.

We are humans with a name, with a story, and with a love for all types of walking.
