[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

Every decision of #NZ governments impacts on #Maori. News of significant cuts in Maori and Treaty-related advice areas is cause for concern. It’s like a return to an NZ of yesteryear which did not acknowledge Maori perspectives except in a tokenistic way. https://t.co/ItV3UAZAlG

@MarioNawfal stfu. how sad and sick seeing a so called person of colour trying to promote HUNTING AND MURDERING SOMALIS like any of this is your business. just another 🤡 who believes what western media feeds them smh

[Aidan Simardone @AidanSimardone]

When America seizes foreign ships it’s a “blockade”, but when Somalis do it’s “piracy”

[safia @safia_]

such a joke talking about “pirates”. of course they’re about to try and start that narrative back up

[Maxamad I @maxamadaibrahim]

Different Semantics: Pirates When Poor, Interceptors When Powerful 😅

@NkechiKwenu @Raindropsmedia1 thank you for sharing that term for it coz i talk about it all the time! these so called mothers who basically think their son is their bf. and no matter what they do it’s “free my baby” when their boy is finally held accountable for anything. sick

[safia @safia_]

and surprise, surprise his mum is defending him.

this “boy” should never be around women ever again.

[Rain Drops Media @Raindropsmedia1]

A New York City teen was arrested after body-slamming a girl and stomping on her head because she refused to give him her number. 😳

@benwehrman “blacks” are “too low-IQ” lol keep telling yourself that, bud while you live in a country where so much of what you use on a daily basis was invented by “blacks”.

how exhausting it must be trying to delay the inevitable i.e. the excelerated extinction of people like yourself.

@mehdirhasan barack my leo birthday twin and zohran the leo rising 😎 charisma is what we do! lol

[safia @safia_]

beyond tired of these men who think they get to play god with other peoples’ lives, esp the ones they’re meant to love.

reading that this man put his own baby on the roof of the house and chased his 9yo in the street to shoot him dead in the head… pure evil.

[tyris ✰ @TYRISPRINT]

this man killed all of his kids 🥺💔

[safia @safia_]

@coffeewing @DiscussingFilm yep, i’ve fondly listened to my dad say this to me my whole life

[safia @safia_]

@big_business_ haven’t watched this trailer yet but i love that i know the meaning behind that title ☪️

[safia @safia_]

1 year today since i lost my reason for all that i do 😓🕊️ can’t even come to terms with her being gone let alone that it’s been a whole year since i heard her voice…

if you’re lucky enough to have your mum in your life, cherish it, because i wish i was you 😔

For decades, urban planners have rigorously tracked every car in New York City while completely ignoring the pedestrians.

An MIT research group has finally built the first complete model of foot traffic in an American city. They took baseline counts from the Department of Transportation and mapped a routable dataset covering every pavement, crosswalk, and footpath across the five boroughs. The resulting data exposes massive flaws in how cities allocate infrastructure funding.

Midtown Manhattan hits nearly 1,700 pedestrians per block per hour during peak times. Because officials see these massive raw numbers, they funnel the bulk of pedestrian safety investments directly into the city centre. The MIT model proves this bias is a mistake. Neighbourhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx routinely register hundreds of pedestrians per block per hour. People in these outer boroughs are walking in huge numbers, but they don't get the infrastructure to match.

The model also rewrites the maths on urban safety. Governments typically rank dangerous intersections by tallying up total crashes. High-traffic areas like Herald Square or Times Square rack up lots of accidents. Planners look at those totals and assume the area is highly dangerous for walkers.

The new system calculates risk on a per-pedestrian basis instead. When you divide the accidents by the millions of people walking through Midtown, the individual risk is actually very low. The true danger zones are around highway off-ramps and heavy car infrastructure in low-density areas like Staten Island. A pedestrian walking there faces a drastically higher statistical chance of being hit by a vehicle.

This framework changes how urban development works. Los Angeles is already applying the model to prepare its public transit and mobility networks for the 2028 Olympics. The state of Maine is using it to evaluate 140 different towns to identify necessary safety upgrades.

Planners finally have the hard data to prove what walkers have known for years. We spent the entire twentieth century designing our environment around the automobile. We finally have the tools to start building cities for people.
