#Agenda2030 permitirá a gobiernos apoderarse de la tierra contaminada y trasladar a los residentes a ciudades inteligentes. Si la tierra + agua a su alrededor está completamente envenenada, no puede optar por no participar en el modelo de "ciudad inteligente".Empiezan a entender?

Cosa sta succedendo in #Canada tra #Toronto e #Montréal nel sottobosco della malavita e perché, come succede spesso, questi eventi riguardano anche l’Italia e la #Ndrangheta? Un thread 👇
Alle 8 del mattino di martedì 25 ottobre, a #Laval, un sobborgo di #Montréal, viene ucciso a colpi di arma da fuoco Vincenzo Armeni, 66 anni. Mezz’ora dopo qualcuno incendia l’auto usata per l'agguato. Chi era Vincenzo Armeni? lapresse.ca/actualites/jus…
- Famiglia originaria di Ardore, nella Locride, provincia di Reggio Calabria, nel 2007 Vincenzo Armeni era stato condannato a 19 anni di carcere per aver importato 760kg di coca. Nel ’98 era già stato condannato a 10 anni per altri 166kg di coca. Era in libertà vigilata dal 2020.

A few days ago, we looked at the cities with the most new streets —but that's not the whole story.
Population growth is another way to measure a city's growth.

We succeeded in recreating a Neolithic flatbread!
This is about as close as I can figure out how to make bread as it would have been baked in one of the first daily bread-making cultures, ca. 9,000 years ago. I’ll let you judge the authenticity…but the taste is fantastic.

I should start from the beginning. A year ago, I went to the Çatalhöyük site in central #Turkey. A proto-urban Neolithic community, pop. as high as 8,000, inhabited for 1000+ years starting ca 7200 BCE.

It took 4 months of fermentation, but I made my own garum (or more accurately, liquamen).
I can now confirm it was under the supervision of Sally Grainger, world's leading authority on the subject, author of The Story of Garum.
Here's how I did it...

Please retweet and share if you support my and others' vaccine injury recoveries.
My fiancé and I were supposed to get married in July 2022. Given the first 2 vaccine mandates, we figured that we had no choice but to keep on taking the boosters in order to be able to travel for our honeymoon / have liberties to go to stores etc.
We decided to take the 3rd @moderna_tx booster anticipating that perhaps it would also be mandated by the #Canadian #government.
I'm not an urban planner but these are the people-friendly amenities that I enjoyed while in Montreal this summer 🧵(inspiration for #seabikes)
Blocking off entire streets from car traffic throughout the summer, and turning them into areas where people walk/bike/skate, relax on specially designed seats, meet up in parks and cafes and generally enjoy being outdoors without the threat of motorized vehicles
The delivery trucks can drive through these bendy barriers when necessary
The population density of the American Midwest is comparable to that of #Spain.
Spain has 2,240 miles of high-speed rail.

High-speed rail in this region would replace short-haul flights, and go a long way to reducing carbon emissions. Should be a no-brainer for Amtrak Joe Biden—you'd think, anyway...

I bring this up b/c @the_transit_guy has made the comparison between overachieving China and sad-sack US. Fair point, but a more proximate comparable might be Spain...

So let's go legal: Art 1 Genocide Convention provides for the obligation to prevent #genocide. Putin alluded to this in speech Monday when he claimed a genocide in #Ukraine and that they therefore could/had to intervene. This is false: it's not a justification for use of force.
Plus there is no genocide in #Ukraine, so more form of gaslighting. See for further analysis of his argumentations to appear as if his armed force is lawful/legitimate instead of the violation of art 2(4) UN Charter and act of aggression that it is, this:

This one is beautiful: marigold petals, which in Georgia (the European Georgia, bien sûr) are used in cuisine; ground to add colour to soups and rice dishes; often used with dill and coriander.
This is Piper longum, long pepper, prized by the ancient Romans, and a staple until the Columbian exchange brought chiles to the old world. (This from #Nigeria.) Way different from Piper negrum, yer garden-variety black pepper. Can't wait to grind it in a mortar!

The Z-1-a was #Canada's only mainline electric locomotive. They were originally delivered to the Canadian Northern Railway by @generalelectric in 1917
The Canadian Northern Railway was headquartered in Toronto and between 1899 and its merger in 1923 into @CNRailway owned a main line between Quebec City and Vancouver via Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Edmonton.
The National Harbour Board also operated several of the same type which were passed on to @CNRailway. Electrification was restricted to Montreal, and went from Central Station to Saint-Lambert, Turcot, Montréal-Nord and Saint-Eustache-sur-le-lac, later renamed Deux-Montagnes.
