Data are clear: Speed safety cameras are arguably the fastest, most effective, most affordable way to cut traffic fatalities

David Zipper@davidzipper.bsky.social · yesterday

A story of cause and effect: Last November, Ontario banned cities from using speed safety cameras to issue tickets. Reckless speeding immediately surged in Toronto, Ottawa, Guelph, and cities throughout the province. A 🧵 about my latest in Bloomberg (gift link)

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

EXCEPTIONALLY glad to have got grants funding off the mark again. Funding events throughout the world is one of the best ways the PSF can improve the global community, and it's really hurt to not have been able to do that for a while. Glad to be back!

Announcing a 2026 PSF Grants Program Funding Round

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is excited to announce a 2026 PSF Grants Program funding round. This is not a full reopening of the Grants Program as it existed before. Rather, it's what the PSF is able to sustainably offer right now, given where we stand financially and operationally. The PSF Board, PSF Staff, and PSF Grants Work Group (GWG) are deeply passionate about the program and understand how important it is to the Python community. It’s our honor to have the opportunity to disburse grant funding in 2026. In keeping with our focus on sustainability, this round of grant funding has a set budget capped at $90,000 USD, a limited scope, and a different structure and timeline for applying and reviewing. We will be accepting applications from August 4 - 25 AoE, for Conferences and Workshops that are scheduled between December 1, 2026, and April 30, 2027. Our top priority is getting available funds to the regional communities who need it most: those who have had to pause their events and initiatives because of lack of funding from PSF Grants or loss of sponsors.

A very brief summary of my #PyOhio keynote, which I imagine will be available online in the not too long.

Christopher Neugebauer@fedi.chrisjrn.fyi · last wk.

I gave a talk about all of the structural reasons why LLM-driven development is just not (ever going to be) good for a lot of Open Source work, how that's likely to widen the gap between users of frameworks and their next contribution, and (a bit about) what we're going to be able to do about it.

(Me, learning that someone I thought was interesting and maybe even cool is anti-trans) Huh, well, that's that then (Drops the whole person into the bin)

I've just spent the last 5 minutes trying to locate the car parking at the 100,000-seat Melbourne Cricket Ground on Google Maps… … or any major Australian stadium for that matter.

When I started researching this piece on mass transit for FIFA matches and how hard it is to get tens of thousands of people in their seats by kickoff, it finally dawned on me: having to get everybody’s car into stadium parking lots before the game is *why American tailgating culture exists*.

This is very “when the worst person you know makes a good point” — I think that FIFA is a morally bankrupt organization and the demand for public transit to World Cup matches is entirely self-serving, but it is pretty cool to see car-centric US cities get to look around and try out new approaches.

Deb Chachra@debcha.bsky.social · last mo.

My piece for @dezeen.com: FIFA’s mandate that World Cup host cities provide game-day public transit is a unique opportunity for American cities. It’s a chance to experiment and to learn from other places addressing the same challenges at the same time. www.dezeen.com/2026/06/30/w...

"The World Cup is a unique opportunity for different transit approaches"

The World Cup has highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of public transportation in North America, providing cities with the opportunity to test and implement novel approaches.
