In regards to the effects of tariffs on shipping #PhysicalMedia into the US: https://www.discogs.com/about/news/united-states-tariff-impact-music-media-2025/ TL;DR: Books, records, posters etc. (anything that fall under the Media Mail designation) cannot be tariffed because they are explicitly carved out exception. It is incumbent on importers to make sure they identify the packages correctly.

Identifying the Multimodal Hierarchy of Public Transit Systems Using Trip Chain Data
As urban mobility integrates traditional and emerging modes, public transit systems are becoming increasingly complex. Some modes complement each other, while others compete, influencing users' multimodal itineraries. To provide a clear, high-level understanding of these interactions, we introduce the concept of a macroscopic multimodal hierarchy. In this framework, trips follow an "ascending-descending" order, starting and ending with lower hierarchical modes (e.g., walking) that offer high ac…

From David Suzuki
The suicidal insanity of non-stop growth
Air, water and land are polluted and degraded as the climate heats to catastrophic levels, yet we continue to burn fossil fuels and devastate carbon sinks.
It’s malignant. It’s suicidal. And it’s unfair. The obscenely wealthy hoard money and resources, amassing billions of dollars, luxury yachts, mansions and private jets while others starve and struggle to survive.

The suicidal insanity of non-stop growth
The planet offers everything we need to survive and thrive, but not if we continue to wastefully exploit it.

I still cannot believe how lucky we were with the weather last weekend for a group trip to Pitlochry and a chance to climb Ben Vrackie

Content warning: understanding harassment methods here

For people who want the Fediverse to thrive as a welcoming space, this explanation from @… of typical harassment methods is important to understand.
It's a key part of the answer to "How come Black people or disabled people say they're receiving horrible posts, but _I_ never see anything bad here?" Or "Why don't these people just learn how to block?"
Once you understand the practical framework of what's able to happen invisible to you, you're much less likely to come over as disbelieving and dismissive - a dynamic which otherwise forms another layer of the problem.
