Corporations are not sentient entities. They are contracts. They do not "do" things. They do not make decisions. Executives do.

When corporate activity breaks a law or harms people, it means the executives decided to do that.

When a corporation has been fined for something, what you are witnessing is the executives being let off the hook for what they did. Perhaps the prosecutor/regulator wants to keep get big money from corporations after leaving government.

Night Train Map in Europe (2024), https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/. This is an interactive map: each line is clickable and brings information about all the stops, schedules, frequency and the company operating this line. That’s pure beauty.

Combined with InterRail, it’s so much travel freedom and opportunities in Europe!

Вече преди години на един гейм джам направихме игричка, която ме вдъхновява много, но колегите от проекта, от който възникна идеята, някак си не я оцениха.

Става дума за интерактивна история със сюжет по Братя Грим и геймплей а ла Reigns (механиката на Tinder).

Идеята е обяснена в повече детайли тук: github.com/mapto/trustyjohn , а играта може да се играе на: gamej.am

Just remembering this posting from @pluralistic in 2016. Seems continuously relevant with all the apologists and sanewashing about these days. When people tell you what they will do with their enemy of choice, believe them.

Il Summit ha confermato che settori come la ciclologistica, il cicloturismo e la vendita di biciclette stanno generando migliaia di nuovi posti di lavoro, molti dei quali con un impatto minimo sull’ambiente. Uno studio recente presentato durante il vertice dall’Università di KU Leuven ha evidenziato che la ciclologistica potrebbe generare 231 milioni di euro di valore aggiunto e quasi 9.000 nuovi posti di lavoro se venisse utilizzata nel 25% della logistica urbana.

Is everyone aware that flights are (often much) cheaper than trains in Europe because aviation fuel isn't taxed?
