@d2lo.bsky.social Would you DM me here or LinkedIn? Interested in interviewing you for my podcast.

#DavidByrne came to California. He's 73. How can he still be fit and bendy? He gets around via #bicycle

I’d like to see a Buttigieg AOC ticket in 2028. Either one will excel as President. I know it won’t happen. I’m not an idiot. I’d just like to see smart, energetic liberals in charge of our country.

I used a bike rack this weekend that exists because I complained about it not existing. You can make things better, even just a little.

I have more to say about our cargo bike test ride event but one thing for sure is that a bike/e-bike/cargo bike subsidy program here would be VERY popular

"This pattern described in the Transportation Alternatives research aligns with broader international findings: cycling participation increases when infrastructure is safe, continuous, and predictable—and decreases when it is fragmented."

If the price of gas is so important that it makes constant news, maybe we need to reconsider how we designed our society and cities. Maybe, just maybe, there's something wrong with a system that's so reliant on this one thing

Cutting back on beef and biofuels could help improve food security and mitigate climate emissions.

« His public presence was sunny, and he knew that politicians who convey a sense of hope tend to win » - EJ Dionne, about Reagan (and that were true about the campaigns and current leadership of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @mayorofseattle.bsky.social . #JoyAsAnActOfResistànce #winning

@asrao.bsky.social You are a great interviewer! I aspire to reach your expertise one day with Name & Fame. And - Rebecca needed someone to do exactly that to spread the word about her work. Thank you.

Wise human @lloydalter.bsky.social takes on a big question (of what #AI will do to people who are in the retirement phase of life). WORTH a read and his newsletter is worth subscribing to on all fronts. What will AI do to the baby boomers? open.substack.com/pub/lloydalt...

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

Really interesting @asrao.bsky.social @embodiedwunc.bsky.social interview with Rebecca Auman. #intuition

Yes. "The U.S. #foodsystem urgently needs a just transition from the factory farm model and the overproduction and high consumption of animal products to an equitable and sustainable food system that supports healthy and affordable plant-rich diets." justfoodtransitionnetwork.com/us-roadmap

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.

OUT TODAY: “A Burning House, A Quiet Media, A Silenced Majority” looks at the state of climate journalism, how media has grown quiet on climate, and what we can do about it. Read more in the latest #ClimateBeat; plus, job opportunities, and more:

Bad news - in 2015 when the Paris Agreement was signed, the world was following a trajectory to 4-5C by 2100. I'd add a link to my NCA chapter where we did this analysis, but the admin has taken it offline. Good news - today, we're headed to 2.7C by 2100. Still too high: but a lot better than 4-5C.

Ooohh.

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty. "People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

The Get-It-Done mindset is what we need right now - and, there's a lot to learn from @heidi-adams.bsky.social @basestudio.bsky.social Here are the shownotes from my most recent #NameAndFame #podcast episode: andrea-learned-climate-influence.ghost.io/on-get-it-do... #CleanTech #Resilience

the most radical thing a bike can do is make a car payment unnecessary

I am here for the Mayors with a sense of humor who know their city’s bus system and local music. Great @mayorofseattle.bsky.social interview by @djjohnrichards.bsky.social #KEXP this morning. Local leaders with joy are currently *winning* in the U.S. cc: @billmckibben.bsky.social kexp.org/archive

#Seattle #ebike friends : I am trying to get back in touch with Davey Oil. Do any of you have a current email or phone for him? Please DM. I’m sending a national journalist his way, as I know his take on ebikes in the U.S. = deep historical understanding. Thank you!

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Is anyone out there in my Seattle urbanism, cities, sustainability, climate communities involved with or closely following #Fifa planning /operations etc? I am in search of insight, particularly on transportation and event gathering (those festival areas). Thx.

Surprised myself with this story. Went into the desert expecting to write about a terrible solar project that would harm bighorn sheep...and ended up writing why California should maybe approve it anyway. In the Anthropocene, there are no easy choices: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/soda-mount...

Thank you @mayorofseattle.bsky.social !! This is joy and #ClimateInfluence

Hungarian prime minister-to-be Péter Magyar

Once more people try biking a bit on these amazing summer weekends, they’ll more likely want to help pass more bike infrastructure initiatives and support bike friendly local leaders. An all around #ClimateInfluence win. Thank you, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social ! #bikes4all

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

Or we can embrace the promise of #renewableenergy no matter what *color* of politics that state is and find joy in releasing ourselves from the ridiculous tether of #fossilfuels #ClimateInfluence #SolarPunk

Families in Chicago and beyond are paying the price for climate inaction 💧🌪️ Insurance hikes show why local climate action matters now. #ClimateEmergency chicago.suntimes.com/environment/...

My latest: Replacing 1 in 5 of your car trips with walking, biking, or public transit would save an average of US $1,777 per year #fuelcrisis leahy.substack.com/p/how-you-ca...

“…they’ll stay connected to the regular grid, but will be outfitted with solar panels, battery backup systems, or other infrastructure, drawing on that power for their home use and opening up the prospect of selling any excess. The city…would pay for the installation & maintenance of these systems”

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

"Driving is actually quite a wealthy person's game. The more money people have, the more they drive." - @ianwalker.bsky.social Anyone running for office should be shown this video and asked for their position on it.

"Healthy cities desperately need media, especially aggressively independent media."

Wow. The #dairy lobby is even more powerful in 🇨🇦 than I realized. Disgustingly corrupt. Updated in 2022, but undoubtedly no improvement since then as dairy is nonstop promoted here at every turn #Cancer #Capitalism #AnimalAbuse www.vegancanada.org/news/article...

Science is good. We should fund it.

That was beyond magnificent. Wow. Stunning.

This is so good. #Music Hannah Lew KEXP.org/listen or KEXP.org/archive
