“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

In recent years, Bilbao has quietly built a cycling network shaped by lessons from the Netherlands: calmed where it can be, protected where it must be, and always comfortable and connected. The result? You can now pedal across the city on infrastructure made for everyone—not just the fit and brave.

17 strikes and you’re out. 💀

By and large, however, the allegations against the other social media platforms are less detailed than those against Meta. The internal documents cited by the plaintiffs allege:

Meta intentionally designed its youth safety features to be ineffective and rarely used, and blocked testing of safety features that it feared might be harmful to growth.
Meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform, which a document described as “a very, very, very high strike threshold."
Meta recognized that optimizing its products to increase teen engagement resulted in serving them more harmful content, but did so anyway.
Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.

TikTok is fueling political echo chambers. A new study shows it’s making users more polarized. (We love TikTok, too, but take this as a warning to not make it your only or primary news source. TikTok is designed to feed you what you like — and politically, that’s a problem.)

Transfer fees for money sent home by international migrants were nearly as high as US foreign aid in 2023

A bar chart comparing two financial figures from 2023. On the left, a blue bar labeled "Global transaction costs for money sent home by international migrants" measures $51 billion. On the right, a taller teal bar labeled "Foreign aid from the United States" measures $66 billion. The chart title indicates that global migrant transfer fees nearly matched total U.S. foreign aid in 2023. The data source information notes the OECD from 2024 and the World Bank from 2025, and it explains that "foreign aid" refers to net official development assistance.
