War over nothing

Ukraine mobilised reserves. Russia mobilised reserves.

Ukraine lost freedom of speech. Russia lost freedom of speech.

Ukrainians are fleeing and dying. Russians are fleeing and dying.

What’s this whole clash about, anyway? About which state will tax the land? Deeply immoral. The people own the land; let them live as they wish.

Meanwhile the warmongers keep on babbling provocatively about a wide European war against brotherly Russia.

Genoa in December 2023

The seafront in Nervi:

The benches have movable backrests. I haven’t seen this anywhere other than Genoa:

The sea:

Nice wooden door:

A park:

Neon pharmacy name:

A layout:

A Christmas boat:

Prices written on clay:

Fluorescent lights

Fluorescent lights and LEDs go against natural rhythms:

This leads to hormone imbalances and dead mitochondria. Fluorescent lights even induce needless urination.

I haven’t used artificial lighting at home for nearly two years now. The next step is to boycott fluorescent entirely.

Sinners and tax collectors

Mark 2:16–17:

When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him [Jesus] eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Based Jesus. Taxation is evil.

Nice tramway map, December 2023

Today I’m releasing the biggest update yet to my Nice tramway map:

It now shows a railway line which was recently integrated into the urban fare zone. The line is thinner because of its longer intervals.

Line 2 no longer has a callout box! It has an extra indication in its middle. CADAM station is now in a geographically correct position.

Nearly all line 1 station names now face right, and are therefore easier to read. The map is now using my default typeface, Atkinson Hyperlegible.

Ground interchanges are now indicated more clearly.

I simplified the colors a bit, too. Line 2 and the sea’s name now use the coat of arms’ blue, while parks and gardens use line 3’s green.

The map is still the same size. High information density FTW!
