Your obnoxious pony, also on fedi: @poni@ak.kawen.space. (Actually generally much more on fedi tbh.) Prague 🇨🇿, public transit, "urbanism" (complaining), trains, some cloud computing and Linux, cats, little of everything else.

Then of course it's fascinating that the Czech transgender healthcare may have hit a strange kind of equilibrium when it's not outright evil after the justice court shot down the previous regulation for, well, being evil, and it's also uncaringly technical, which sucks, but doesn't make it a target.

Nothing better than some applied fascism nicely wrapped in the well polished legalese. Comply, realize, monitor, enforce, all within a decision-making framework. All nice and fine words. (To talk about like airstrikes.)

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

Not great, Russian weapons surely are not great or precise for most parts and surely can be EW'd well out of the course, but it still tells you Russia don't much care for this to happen.

Russia launched Kh-101 missiles overnight, making this almost certainly one of them

The proposal is super dumb and also comes from an incumbent mayor at the end of their term during which they did nothing towards it. But like what is this picture? Is she clapping? That's not how you propose things! Is she clapping to her own proposal? Why? Does she have no other transit picture?

Mayor Karen Bass@mayor.lacity.gov · 2w ago

As Chair, I’ll build a long-term financial plan to make Metro fare-free. I’ve fought for a world-class transit system my entire career because public transit should create opportunity for everyone.

Insightful long article in Romanian from economist Stas Madan about Moldova's relationship to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). A few highlights in English. First, Madan says that quitting the CIS would have seemed like a sci-fi proposition in 1997, ...

The same US that failed to keep up promised weapon deliveries to Estonia because of their unwanted Iran adventure? Oh well. (Mind you, anything Tusk says in that regard is also internal Polish politics aimed at PiS and its protrumpesque president, election mood coming up fast.)

💥 Polish PM Donald Tusk has questioned whether the US would be “loyal” to its Nato commitment to defend Europe in the event of a Russian attack, and urged the EU to become a “real alliance” in protecting the continent. Exclusive interview with @financialtimes.com as.ft.com/r/bddc0476-b...

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed.
