Good idea: subway libraries

https://notesfrompoland.com/2025/09/07/warsaw-opens-polands-first-library-in-metro-station/

Warsaw has opened an underground library at one of its metro stations, offering commuters over 16,000 books to borrow.
The facility – the first of its kind in Poland and called “Metroteka”, a play on the Polish word for library, “biblioteka” – was launched this week at Kondratowicza station on the metro’s M2 line. On its first day of operation, readers borrowed almost 400 books.

"Imagine if every person in Africa saw the "Africa for Norway" video and this was the only information they ever got about Norway. What would they think about Norway?

If we say Africa, what do you think about? Hunger, poverty, crime or AIDS? No wonder, because in fundraising campaigns and media that's mainly what you hear about.

The truth is that there are many positive developments in African countries, and we want these to become known. We need to change the simplistic explanations of problems in Africa. We need to educate ourselves on the complex issues and get more focus on how western countries have a negative impact on Africa's development. If we want to address the problems the world is facing we need to do it based on knowledge and respect."

For you doomers out there: the mentioned wars were all on the horizon already 20 years ago and so far they didn´t break out. With the exception of some day-long skirmishes between India and Pakistan. Nevertheless an interesting read. Especially the "why war is unlikely" paragraphs.
