"Transit is 95 percent safer than cars today, without a single algorithm. If AVs pull riders off the subway and onto robotaxi apps, the safety math goes in the wrong direction."
And the "if" is all but certain to be true, because that's exactly what happened last time companies drove down labor costs and regulation of taxi services. (Uber and Lyft)

With Waymo Testing Halted, We Have A Rare Chance To Get Ahead of the 'Driverless Revolution' - Streetsblog New York City
Two experts say we don't have to fear AVs, but we do have to prepare for them so we don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

Just listened to Tom Petty's 'After Dark' (from 1982) fully for the first time, (I of course knew the song 'You Got Lucky') - but I get to the end, and the last song, 'A Wasted Life' had this melody that I couldn't place.. until I did. It's like, the EXACT same melody (and even NOTES, I just listened to them one after the other) as Vanity Faire's single 'Hitchin' a Ride' from 1969.
Through the years, Tom had different issues here and …

The effort from House Democratsto pass a war powers resolution by unanimous consent was squashed today
as the pro forma speaker, Republican Chris Smith, refused to recognize Democrats.
It was always a tall order, given that pushback from even a single member would require Democrats to pursue a formal vote on the resolution.
While it’s largely a symbolic move,
top Democrats in both chambers have vowed to hold votes again when Congress returns from recess next week.

Call me crazy. I didn’t want to 😍 like ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING.
I mean, I DID in the end, but I feel dumb, like I shouldn’t. I should put on the sides of my car: IF I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL GUILTY I WILL TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY EVERY SINGLE TIME 🙄

Not that we should *ever* want war for oil (or anything else) but perhaps there can be a positive outcome?
“Jacinta Peperkamp is among a growing cohort of people who are relying on their bike due to eye-watering fuel costs. “We haven’t used our car since fuel prices went crazy,” the single mother of two says.”

Cars make way for bikes as Sydney commuters saddle up to circumvent ‘crazy’ fuel costs
The shock of the oil crisis is playing out on Australian streets, where bike shop sales are up and cycle lanes are busier

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was foreve…

Today I discovered a new #oldtimer garage (workshop?) in #Zurich with quite a car collection in front of it: a #Citroën #CX

One more thought...
One of the more toxic elements of the whole "manosphere" thing relative to dating is the application of game theory to relationships. They've got people trying to "maximize their dating potential" or whatever, trying to find the "most attractive march" (which is it's own fucked up thing I'm not even going to dig in to). But that whole mindset is basically going to always leave you miserable.
Oh, you're single? You need a partner. Oh you have a partner? Could you get a "better" one?
It turns relationships into the endless pointless grind of capitalism. Fuck that. None of that shit makes sense. No matter how "well" you do in that game, you always feel like a loser. Everyone does. Fuck that game. Quit.
The constant desire makes you miserable and your misery makes you unlikable. When you let go of it, you leave room to experience what is instead of constantly imagining what could be.
You will always be able to imagine a better "could be" than what is now. By comparing your situation now to that "could be" you will always see your situation as bad because it's worse than your yardstick.
Is your situation good for you? Is it serving you? It can be good and it can also be possible to make it better. When was the last time you just experience your life instead of trying to strategize your way into "something better."
Throw away the yardstick. Something something Buddha.
Edit: all this is of course aside from the whole objectification thing, which is it's own whole set of fucked up. But yeah... All that shit is real bad news.

webkb: WebKB graphs (1998)
Web graphs crawled from four Computer Science departments in 1998, with each page manually classified into one of 7 categories: course, department, faculty, project, staff, student, or other. All graphs included in a single .zip; also included are 'co-citation' graphs, which links i and j if they both point to some k. Edge weights count the number of links from i to j.
This network has 348 nodes and 33250 edges.
