1/ 🚦 Excited to share my new solo paper in @UrbanStudiesJnl! "Waze seating in the control room" investigates how Santiago's traffic control analysts integrate Waze data, reshaping urban governance through everyday 'data bricolage'. OA: https://t.co/jfM03dpgrB

[J. Ignacio Pérez K. @JIPerezK]

4/ 🌐 The findings emphasize how reliance on platforms like Waze impacts governance transparency, data sovereignty, and accountability. This raises urgent questions about democratic oversight in public-private digital partnerships.

A thread on the latest claims by @andrewellson about bike lanes and bus speeds in London. There are c2000 miles of bus-served road in the capital, of which less than 20 miles, less than 1 per cent, has segregated bike lane. So that cannot be a major reason why buses are slower.

The Tories signed away billions of pounds to Covid fraud and waste.

That money belongs in our public services - and we want it back.

Thanks @margaretlevi for making this happen. I took the liberty of adding Scott’s picture.

Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante.

Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.

And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.

I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."
