Split image showing Halvemaansteeg, Amsterdam, then and now. Top: black-and-white photo from 1979 with cars and a taxi dominating a narrow street, people squeezed onto small pavements. Bottom: modern color photo of the same street, now car-free, with a cycleway, café seating, and a calmer, people-focused atmosphere.

Halvemaansteeg, Amsterdam in 1979 and today.

From being dominated by cars with barely any space for people to a car-free area with cafés and cycleways.

Nothing natural about car dominance - it was a choice, and so was undoing it

A boy standing in front of a cupboard filled with books. Ther image is from "Story-Lives of Great Musicians" by Francis Jameson Rowbotham.

One way to stay sane in these days: temporarily gazing at book covers. Like the 10 years old Johann Sebastian Bach is doing in this print, gazing through the lattice doors of a cupboard full with bound books. #bookhistory #skystorians

This is so good 💜. Wanting to add to this! Any chance there's a vocalist out there who'd be down to record this to the tune of Mr. Brightside? I'm not much of a singer.

A year after catastrophic LA fires, survivors are still rebuilding while navigating a growing "disaster economy," an often exploitative multi-billion dollar industry profiting from tragedy. Learn more in our latest episode, produced in collaboration with @grist.org: https://bit.ly/c1disaster

Esta es la rotonda de Beata María de Ana Jesús en Legazpi, Madrid, un ejemplo perfecto de diseño urbano de los 70, que prioriza el flujo motorizado frente al peatonal. Andando, de punta a punta, son 160 metros con 2 o 3 semáforos. En coche se va en línea recta y hay un solo semáforo (120m).

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing

Can I offer you a happy snow pup after all the horrible images and news from Minneapolis?

México está muy cerca de Estados Unidos y muy lejos de Dios (dice el refrán).

Pero la Casa Blanca (Washington DC) está más cerca del Palacio de Miraflores en Caracas (3150 km) que de Palacio Nacional en CDMX (3260 km).

Siguiendo la idea de relación inversa del refrán ¿quién está más lejos de Dios?

Yellow and black book cover for life after cars held by a person sitting on a hammock. You can see his legs and blue sneakers and a traffic light in the background.

Life After Cars is kicking up your feet and relaxing on a hammock in the middle of a busy city on a street that’s been closed to automobiles and opened up to people.

I have experienced the soothing waters of the blue lagoon! It's certainly a unique experience. Especially at night in the winter.

Pre-1980 view of Mount St. Helens from Spirit Lake, circa 1903. Calm water fills the foreground with two upright snags protruding, forested ridges frame the shoreline, and the snow-streaked cone rises in the background beneath a ceiling of clouds. Photograph by E. M. Strait (Castle Rock, Washington).

How about another photo? Let’s revisit one of the earliest photos of Mount St. Helens and Spirit Lake, taken in 1903.

See the tree trunks standing in the water? Centuries earlier, eruptions in the 1500s dammed the lake’s outlet, raising its level and drowning a forest along its shore.

Holy shit! In London streikt gerade die Metro und plötzlich fahren hundertausende Londoner erstmalig mit dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit. Der Anbieter Lime meldete einen Anstieg um 70%. So sieht das dann aus. Das wird dem Fahrrad auch nach dem Streik einen krassen Boost geben❤️💪

Up to 70% this morning on our African tropical wave. Here are the Euro Ensemble Spaghetti plots. It’s far out there and there’s plenty of time to track. Odds are it stays a fish storm but that’s not for certain.
