Things must have been pretty confusing before the invention of zero.
— I have one goat and I give it to you. How many goats do I have left?
— What do you mean how many goats do you have left? You have no goats left.
— Yes, and what do you call that.

— perplexed silence

I am sure that this story is somewhere in the bible.
Ontem assinalou-se o dia simbólico que marca o Overshoot Day Português, que significa que se todos consumissem como nós, seriam necessários 2,9 planetas para sustentar a humanidade. A partir de ontem, por isso, começámos a usar os recursos de 2025. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
É urgente fazer mudanças! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Para além das ações coletivas e governamentais que devemos exigir, todos podemos contribuir individualmente. Algumas sugestões:
🌍 Escolher alimentos oriundos de agricultura sustentável e preferencialmente local;
🌍 Optar pela partilha de transporte ou utilização de transportes coletivos;
🌍 Adotar a economia circular comprando artigos em segunda mão, evitando desperdício.
Charging to unlock features already physically present is the #enshittification of vehicles. Applying the subscription model is doubly so at least. :blobfoxdisgust:
I'm looking at you, #BMW, #Tesla, and #Zero . :blobfoxangry:
Street parking was already scarce in #Hoboken, New Jersey, when the death of an elderly pedestrian spurred city leaders to remove even more spaces in a bid to 👍end traffic fatalities.👍
For seven years now, the city of nearly 60,000 people has reported resounding success:
♦️Not a single automobile occupant, bicyclist or pedestrian has died in a traffic crash since January 2017♦️, elevating Hoboken as a national model for roadway safety.
Mayor Ravi Bhalla was a City Council member in 2015 when a van struck 89-year-old Agnes Accera as she crossed Washington Street in the bustling downtown business district. Bhalla didn’t know Accera but attended her wake and said her death inspired him to push for better safety.
“I felt it wasn’t acceptable,” Bhalla said. “Our seniors, who we owe the greatest duty of safety to, should be able to pass that street as safely as possible. For her to actually be killed was a trigger that we needed to take action.”
Bhalla became mayor in 2018 and the city fully committed to #Vision#Zero: 🔸a set of guidelines adopted by numerous cities, states and nations seeking to eliminate traffic deaths. 🔸
👉Proponents believe no accident is truly unavoidable and even want to do away with the word “accident” altogether when describing roadway fatalities. #Sweden originated the concept more than a quarter-century ago, and U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete #Buttigieg touted Hoboken in 2022 when announcing his department would follow Vision Zero guidelines.
Major U.S. cities including #NewYork, #Minneapolis, #SanFrancisco, #Baltimore and #Portland, Oregon, have integrated aspects of the program into their safety plans,
including at least some form of #daylighting, the term for the removal of parking spaces near intersections to improve visibility. #VisionZero#CarSafety https://apnews.com/article/hoboken-zero-traffic-deaths-daylighting-pedestrian-safety-007dec67706c1c09129da1436a3d9762

Qual é o preço - também em saúde! - o custo de termos o actual aeroporto de Lisboa em funcionamente ao arrepio da Lei, e em particular o Regulamento Geral do Ruído?
Agora já não precisamos de fazer contas, a #Zero fez um contador que actualiza o valor em tempo real:
Daily #SteveKimock. A very special #Saturday treat! Video of an early #Zero show with #JohnCipollina that I don't believe has ever seen the light of day. I've been on a big digitizing campaign this week, going through piles of DVDs that I had stored. Ran across this one last night!
If end-stage capitalism has a motto, it's this: "Stop hitting yourself." The great failure of "voting with your wallet" is that you're casting ballots in a one party system (The Capitalism Party), and the people with the thickest wallets get the most votes.
