99% Invisible: The Lost Subways of North America
99percentinvisible.org/episode…
Los Angeles actually used to have a massive electric railway system in the early 1900s, called the Red Car. Jake Berman, the author of The Lost Subways of North America, tells us about how, time after time, when North American cities seemed just inches away from having a robust, utopian future of fast, reliable, and convenient public transportation systems, something gets in the way. That thing is sometimes dysfunctional local politics, sometimes it’s bureaucracy. Sometimes it’s the way our infrastructure favors cars over mass transit, and too often, it’s racism.

99% Invisible: Towers of Silence
99percentinvisible.org/episode…
Situated right in downtown Mumbai, India is an area of about 55 acres of dense, overgrown forest. In one of the most populous cities in the world, this is a place where peacocks roam freely -- a space out of time. This forest is protected by a religious community. It has survived in a relatively undeveloped state in the middle of this gargantuan city. Importantly, it’s also home to an ancient tradition in crisis -- one that is central to the lives (and deaths) of a particular population.There’s a certain point in this forest beyond which almost no one can step -- only special caretakers of these grounds can go any further. They go by many names: khandia, nassassalar, pallbearer, corpse bearer. Their work here is holy. They carry dead bodies to their final resting place – atop stone structures that stand gray against the lush green. These buildings are called Towers of Silence.

@GalacticBox "But people shouldn't take it to an extreme and use an insecure device for years on end"
Years on end? You make it sound like I've been hanging onto this phone for the last 10 years.
I bought the phone at release in August 2020. Google ended support for it in August 2023. Three years is an absolute joke.
My understanding is that Graphene gets the security updates via AOSP. Since Google no longer provides updates to the 4a then there is a definite security risk.

Genocidio en Palestina ¡Basta ya!
Ningún pueblo del mundo debería sufrir un genocidio...
La humanidad está en una fase de adolescencia autodestructiva y algunos temen que no lleguemos a la madurez.
Amor y sabiduría para que todos los pueblos del mundo aprendamos de una vez a vivir y cuidarnos juntos, con el resto de nuestros hermanos no-humanos.
Y podamos disfrutar y cuidar juntos de esta Tierra y del milagro de estar vivos y ser conscientes :)
Seguiremos trabajando por celebrar la vida y no perder nunca la ilusión de vivirla, cuidarla y poder transmitirle esa visión/misión a cuantos más mejor.
¡AGUANTA PUEBLO DE #PALESTINA! ¡GOBIERNO DE #ISRAEL BASTA YA!
