Fuck it, best NYC earthquake memes 🧵:

@decidim_org These configurations can present diverse forms of participation: 🫂 Community-oriented vs individual-oriented 🎛️ Open vs controlled These forms touch on key aspects of how democracy functions.

To what degree should platforms be open to configuration and customization? Which political values should be enforced by platform design? @vpalacin @SamMcD13 @matnel and I explored these questions in a just accepted article at @acmtochi‼️ 📜 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

There’s a single statistic everyone in the world should know this summer: fossil fuel subsidies are ten times greater than climate finance. eand.co/can-our-broken…

Napping is a skill you can learn. "Once I discovered that I didn’t lose productivity — and that midday snoozes actually boosted my energy — napping became a form of self-care. But it took some work for me to get good at it." nyti.ms/45pO6or

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife

I wonder of the potential of reuse for language processing methods (in computing) for Quechua from Finnish and Japanese

This fact also saddens me as Quechua has been systematically oppressed since the Spanish genocide (“colonization”) in the Americas. Quechua is not really taught at schools in most of Peru.

I was today years old when I learned that languages such as Quechua, Finnish are agglutinative languages. They don’t have gender specific pronouns, or articles. They work by merging different morphemes (thread 🧵)
