Didn't read the linked article when i first saw this post, some more interesting (though not surprising) results from the poll:

Trump recorded the worst score among a range of political, cultural and spiritual leaders that includes X owner Elon Musk, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the late Pope Francis, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.

Israel emerged as the country with the worst global reputation of those included in the poll, especially in the Middle East and South Asia. Israel is unpopular even in European countries that have historically been its allies, such as Germany, signaling growing discomfort with its government’s conduct in Gaza and the West Bank.

I was so confused by the thumbnail of Tomorrowland. So here's the deck and first paragraph of the story:

Authorities interviewed Israeli pair after they were seen at Tomorrowland music festival near Antwerp

Belgian authorities have said they briefly held and questioned two Israeli citizens who attended an electronic music festival last week, after pro-Palestinian groups accused them of war crimes.

Not saying you can't be offended, but they don't mean 'you're some semblance of queer' in a negative or hurtful way. I read it as 'queer people are different to the norm, so are people who prefer plant-based milk'. I read their stuff regularly and to me they've never come across as sexist or rapist.

Both can be true though

Facts can be set up to mislead, because it isn't possible to have all relevant facts presented. In this case for example, you can't see how comparable the two cities are - the only facts in that regard are their names and the flag of their country. This is a true image of the underground metro, but does not show all forms of public transport for example. Another way this is framed by selecting these two cities, not showing any other cities anywhere else. So it matters that it's factual, but that doesn't mean it cant be misleading anymore.

Well, to be precise - if you say you do A to get B that only says something about your intention. So the headline isn't really lying, they're just saying what Microsoft is wants to achieve. I agree they will not achieve that goal because carbon offset doesn't work.

If you see this as an image intented to criticise Toronto i can see your point. But it is also be considered an image showing development in China. Building a system like this is impressive. But i agree for that purpose you could leave Toronto out.

Anything to lower the price huh, last time i flew ryanair i had to pay more for a 10 kg cabin bag in a closed cabinet than for my body sitting on the seat below it (not really a surprise though, since the advertised price was 23,99€ which obviously isn't enough to pay for my part of the costs. My brother once had a 4-hour flight for 9€ and decided against booking luggage, just kept everything in his coat pockets lol).

Be a good example

To me this is what counts more then anything when it comes to being a pedestrian in busy road with high speed traffic. especially in densely populated areas where kids are used to playing on roads and alleys with low traffic. First kids are worse at estimating risks, second they are less aware of their surroundings and third they are harder to spot by drivers. It's important people are mindful of the message they could give by walking through a red light or cross the street somewhere you're officially not allowed.
