De gemeente Molenbeek geeft een negatief advies voor de toekomstige tramlijn 15 en de herinrichting van de Picardstraat. Volgens het gemeentebestuur zijn er nog te veel onduidelijkheden. short.bruzz.be/TLjpH1

Could we not rather retire Charlie and the monarchy and retain the train?

Beneath an image of the elderly late Queen Elizabeth and her entourage descending from the Royal Train, a headline from the Guardian says "Royal train to be retired as King Charles seeks to modernise monarchy."

@smveerman Zo raar, ik dacht dat er te weinig productiecapaciteit was in Europa om snel aan de grote vraag naar rollend materieel te voldoen

@smveerman Waarom vreest men voor banenverlies in Brugge eigenlijk? Hebben alle treinenbouwers geen orderboekje van hier tot in de jaren 2030?

"oh, vous savez, moi... je ne fais pas de politique" par @unpied 🔥

bande dessinée en 4 cases. Deux personnages discutent sur un banc. Les deux transpirent abondamment. Le décor en feu illustre une chaleur extrême. Le premiers personnage dit « il fait chaud pour la saison… ». Le second répond « oh vous savez moi… je ne fais pas de politique… »

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

Brussel Mobiliteit heeft in samenwerking met de MIVB de vergunningsaanvraag ingediend voor de aanleg van de nieuwe tramlijn 15, die op een eigen bedding rijdt en de haltes Belgica, Vanderstichelen, Picard, Suzan Daniel, Bolivar en het Noordstation bedient.

Burgers kunnen tot begin juli hun mening geven.

Cartoon by Ding (Jay Norwood Darling), May 14, 1921, published on the front page of the Des Moines Register, above the fold.

This is how long the war on active transportation has been going on, financed by Automotive lobbyists.

By the way, how about a place in the sun for the small boy with a bicycle?

Very old comic shows a boy on a bicycle at the edge of the road, getting yelled at by people in an automobile, "Do you want to get killed? Get off the road!"

Next panel shows a man manhandling the boy on the sidewalk, yelling, "Don't you know it's against the law to ride on the sidewalk?" while observers are saying, "It's about time these young rascals were taught to respect the laws."
