Living the dream in Montrose. Mostly Houston stuff, bike commuting, energy, bad takes.
Good to see more people bringing attention to this longstanding (decades) environmental issue in west Texas (Lake Boehmer). You’d hope at some point the Oil and Gas regulator would find a way to move forward.

Man y'all. Education news out of Houston, Fortworth, and Beaumont is really just atrocious today. Its really hard to stay positive st this point. I'm gonna try to break this into a thread per city in the comments below this post.

We really should put interlocks and speed limiters in every car. No one can give me a good reason why if a car can’t legally ever go able 80 mph why it’s physically allowed to go 100.

After you dangerously pass a cyclist it's critically important to also run the next stop sign so the cyclist cannot yell at you for your recklessness

Whenever I go shopping nowadays if people are nearby I talk to myself loudly and say “wow this is double the price it used to be, these tariffs are awful.” This is my preferred form of political engagement.

Finally, a governing body which understands the difference between an e-bike and an e-moto and legislates accordingly! Good job, Minnesota 👍

I’m still very thankful for Houston Metro’s bus network redesign implemented in 2015. I hope Metro will lean into it more. Unfortunately, a lot of Houstonians still have a perception of Metro shaped by pre-2015 service.

A decades-old federal settlement agreement holds that parents and children can generally not be detained together for more than 20 days in immigration facilities, but the Trump administration is seeking to end that ruling in court.

This is the new species of Spinosaurus Dr. Paul Sereno mentioned at his lecture in Houston a couple of years ago! The new Spinosaurus mirabilis was found in Niger, Africa, much further south than Spinosaurus aegyptiacus found in (you guessed it) Egypt!

So we have passed (about 2 weeks ago) the first anniversary of TXDoT closing the MKT bridge over White Oak Bayou, and all that has been done is to build a better barricade. As a walker, the suggested 1 mile detour is crazy. Clearly they don't care.

Was on a metro bus just now stopped at a stop for ten minutes. I wasn’t sure what was going on because it wasn’t a time point. Turns out the bus got hit and run by a car. I didn’t feel a thing. Also, is there a way to let Transit app know your bus has been disabled.
