My feeling is that many people in times of crisis (#corona, #EnergyCrisis, #inflation) do not perceive or hardly perceive (correctly) some natural phenomena at night, such as the starry #sky.

This can sometimes be seen beautifully even in big cities like #Berlin (See videos by @MusiciScience on various platforms).

In addition, there are also certain #acoustic #phenomena that probably few people think about. For example, I wondered why I sometimes wake up at night. An #audio spectrum analysis may reveal the cause. Take a look at the video in the last tweet in this thread.

A thought on #NYC: the city isn’t dying, but it has problems: the cost of living is too high, #incomeinequality is rampant, and the city’s blood runs through its #transit system. Some things to consider:
(1) The #rent is too damn high, the residential market is distorted, and despite a 10% decline in #Manhattan rents they are still among the highest in the country #housing nytimes.com/2020/08/18/nyr…
(2) Some people are leaving the city. #Housing demand in the #suburbs can shift back to the city, but the suburbs make more sense for families now nytimes.com/2020/08/30/nyr…

See how interesting this comparison of the #Netherlands with several major #urbanareas worldwide, which also serves to demystify some questions about #urbanmobility: we all know about the predilection of its people for bicycles, right? (+)
(...) But would it be possible to cycle everywhere with versatility across the country? I bet not. So, remember this when repeating the mantra that these metropolises need to develop #cyclepaths, as if this were a panacea. (+)
(...) No, it doesn't solve the mobility problem, it just complements the solution, whose best option is still the #subway.

Been watching season 3 of #TheCrown?
Despite 2000 years of stone construction, #London has no indigenous building stone. Its geology is sand, gravel and clay. Stone has been imported since #Roman times along the #RiverThames to build that amazing city.
#nspoli #NovaScotia #mining Image
To build #Londinium (starting in 47 AD), Romans imported stone from many places in #England and from as far away as #Egypt, #Greece and #Italy. Part of the Roman defensive wall is still visible and many buildings have been uncovered (amphitheatre, forum, bath houses, etc)
#nspoli Image
Medieval #London had narrow streets and timber-framed, thatch houses so the #GreatFireofLondon destroyed much of it in 1666. Legislation afterward required stone or brick construction to prevent future fires. #Halifax NS passed a similar bylaw in 1857 after several fires.

Great news that the new #OrangeLine cars are now starting to go into service!

#mapoli #mbta
This investment in our public transit system was funded by the modest gas tax increase that the legislature approved in 2013. Now we desperately need to expand and accelerate our investment in improved #subway, #bus, #commuterrail and other transportation infrastructure.

#mapoli
In our area, projects to improve #OakGrove station and rebuild #WinchesterCenter station are well underway, and we are also pushing hard for the @MBTA to upgrade the #MaldenCenter station.

#BlackoutInfo What might be consequences of a national or even european #Blackout, lasting more than 72 hours in our electricity addicted society? How is our country prepared for? And how much our politicians engage for this catastrophic case?
#BlackoutInfo Within hours after a national #Blackout for 90% of all homes no more drinking water will flow out of the tap. Flushing the WC will work only one last time. Therefore risk of diseases is growing fast. No human can stand more than 3 days without water supply...
#BlackoutInfo As a follow of a national #Blackout production of food isn’t possible anymore. Distributing still available stockpiles is becoming difficult & very quick impossible. Automated warehouses can’t deliver anymore, because all is offline. Supermarkets run out of stocks.

Everything in the following tweets actually happened this morning but has been translated into screenplay format for no reason I can point too other than dramatic effect. Enjoy! #MTA #Subway #MondayMorning
INT. 6 TRAIN - MORNING
A crowded subway car pulls out of the 33rd street station and makes it only halfway before coming to a complete stop. There’s silence for a few moments before any announcements are made. It’s Monday morning and people are tired.
CONDUCTOR
(Over speaker)
Hey partner, there’s a track fire up ahead.

PARTNER
(Over speaker. Indistinguishable garble)

The passengers on board all share a look of disbelief as they realize the conductor’s announcement was not really meant for them.
