"Gas prices are high? Hadn't noticed."

[Martin Villig 🇪🇪 @waldec]

@KHeteromees Millest sa räägid? Palun too välja 1 kuller või autojuht, kelle Bolt on Eestisse toonud?

Bolt pakub platvormi kõikidele Eestis JUBA elavatele inimestele raha teenimiseks. Me pole ettevõttena ühtegi kullerit ega taksojuhti Eestisse toonud!

#Tallinn says there is no need to build bike lanes, turned down 40M EU funding for building new tram lines and gives priority to cars. Photo of pavement/bike lane this week from the biggest bridge we have. Sad. Very sad 😢

American bike advocates routinely (and correctly) talk about Dutch design being a gold standard.

e.g. the Dutch roundabout

Looking forward to see first practical initiatives that empower our people and entrepreneurs to grow economy!

[Kristen Michal @KristenMichalPM]

Today we launched Estonia’s most impactful AI initiative for the decade ahead.

We’re turning bold ideas into real solutions — not replacing people with AI, but empowering them with it. This could lift our economy by up to 50% over the next 10 years.

Estonia’s aim is to become the world’s AI hub, where government and businesses build the future together.

With #snow❄️ Mother Nature reveals how much we over-designed our streets for cars.

If we learn to look carefully, she also inspires us to create healthier and more equitable streets for all!

@jurihunt1 3 aastaga on koostöös EMTA ja seadusemuudatustega kogu platvormimajanduse maksunduses päris palju muutunud ja maksude tasumist tõhustatud.

Kui võrdled juuksurite, turgude, online müügiportaalide jt äridega on Bolti platvormil maksulaekumine pidevalt kasvanud. Jõudu!

Tallinnas ehitatakse Kadaka puiestee silda enam kui aasta? Töövälisel ajal objektil 0 inimest, sest "aega ju on" küll kohalikud inimesed saavad aasta või enam ringi ka sõita, kelle mure see ikka on?

😮What the Dutch🇳🇱?

Building a tunnel under a highway in less than 48 hours

[Martin Villig 🇪🇪 @waldec]

@jurihunt1 Mis makse sa täpsemalt mõtled?

Bolt on üks Eesti suurimaid maksumaksjaid, sel aastal ainult tööjõumakse ca +45M. Lisaks kullerite ning autojuhtide töötasud, mis on kõik seaduse järgi maksuametile raporteeritud. Hinnanguliselt aastane mõju riigieelarvele +65M.

Does your kid walk/cycle to school or would you need to drive them? Why?

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re afraid of. If more kids walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school.

Spread the word.

Cities for people! 💚

🌳 Paris just transformed one of its most iconic squares: Place de l’Hôtel de Ville. Once a vast stone esplanade, it’s now an urban forest.

Inaugurated on June 21, 2025, this project is reshaping how the city tackles climate, space, and livability. 🌍

Estonia is the first country in the world to launch AI into schools with @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI.

It's been great to see this go from an idea to launching in just two months. Looking forward to amazing educational startups here!🇪🇪

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” https://t.co/2Ahi7zBKxU

[Martin Villig 🇪🇪 @waldec]

Netherlands is doing some interesting urban pilots.

Should owning and driving a car be human right... when its 6 times more expensive (and polluting) to society than cycling?

@jlcourtemanche @NewsFromGoogle I am not sure I understood you here?

Trump was voted for President by American people. Although he wasn't my favorite. He has legal rights to make decisions.

How should US companies choose, which government regulations to follow and which ones not?

[Martin Villig 🇪🇪 @waldec]

@leankitjon @Alex86840840 @MarioNawfal @elonmusk I agree that US is probably richer. Can you link to the source of this chart - whats included or excluded?

America has also many ultra-rich people, how does this affect the numbers. Would be great to see median income numbers for US and other countries to understand it better.

@alvarlaigna @sandergansen @KristenMichalPM Mina saan aru, et SMR reaktorite tehnoloogia on ikkagi veel katsetus/ehitusjärgus?

1) China: ACP100 SMR could be operational by 2025-2026?
2) Canada: OPG's BWRX-300 SMRs could be operational by 2028-2030?
3) United States: NuScale's SMR could be operational by 2029-2030?
