Never forget, multimodal streets (aka “complete streets”) are simply more efficient, because they move, hold & serve more PEOPLE within the same space. Whether you think streets are just for moving people, or are for a LOT more, they’re just better. Via @NACTO.

I was looking for some last harebell (Campanula rotundifolia) #flowers and found these harebell flower remains instead. They look so beautiful and delicate, with the outlines enhanced by the #frost.

I was recently made aware of the existence of the #mushtodon hashtag, so here's a nice bunch I found in a forest near where I live in Quebec, Canada. Any identification guesses?

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent. More wins like this, please.

I picked up this Tyrannosaurus Rex foot claw cast from UK maker Jim Francis, based on an adult specimen excavated from Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. It's 😍 and the weight and size gives an amazing idea of the size and power of this Dino! 🦖 #FossilFriday

流行文化里不再有值得认真批评的东西，能引起舆论哗然的热点，连作恶都作得肤浅，那是不值得知道的东西，却不得不知道，因为除了这些，共用中文的人们也没有什么共同话题可言。 ​​​

Perhaps the most-terrifying space photograph to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II floats completely untethered, away from the safety of the space shuttle, with nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive. The first person in history to do so. Credit: NASA

Earlier this year, I became aware of STANDARD EBOOKS, a donation-dependent group of edtiors and layout experts who have been doing the amazing work of taking out-of-copyright books, turning them into top-quality ebooks, and then releasing them for free.

Some of the books they've done are in the Internet Archive here:

They're seeking 75 patrons in December to keep themselves afloat, consider donating to this amazing cause.

One of the oldest known musical instruments in the world: a Paleolithic #flute made from a #swan's wing bone some 40,000 years ago!
The preserved lenght is about 12.6 cm with three finger holes. The original length of the flute is unknown.

Found in Geissenklösterle cave on the Swabian Jura, south-western Germany.

On display at Landesmuseum Württemberg.

US: 32% of Black adults worry every day or almost every day that they might be threatened or attacked because of their race or ethnicity. So do 21% of Asian adults and 14% of Hispanic adults. Many have made changes in their daily schedule.

Given the rich abundance of learning materials and tools online, we're at the very beginning of a revolution in peer-to-peer learning. The peeragogy project has been going on for over 10 years now: learn the latest, access the peeragogy handbook, find out how to participate at http://peeragogy.org

This is what i wrote about it 11 years ago, when i initiated the project, which has since been taken up by a worldwide community:

For a few years, a few people have been talking about "AI for IA" -- artificial intelligence for intelligence augmentation. It looks like #chatgpt is a powerful candidate for such a tool. What is lacking so far is a guide to how to use it specifically for that purpose

#ToolsForThought #ai #technology

Looks like I stumped it.
