Alright, we’ve got an amazing opportunity to get #austinfc fans, cargo bike enthusiasts, and supporters of @equalitytexas.bsky.social united! Just need to get @bradstuver.com on a Bunch bike.

@waymo.bsky.social do you program the cars to stop in bike lanes for pickup/dropoff on purpose? Sounds illegal but what do I know?

Whoa, big (and somewhat expected) changes coming. Nico and Rodo out. #austinfc

Happy bike to work day! Special thanks to the APD officer who saw this illegally parked truck, and the kids and commuters having to ride into oncoming traffic and decided that wasn’t his problem.

What all the jacked up F-350 bros actually need.

Good news, or the best news? No wall in Big Bend. Not now. Not ever.

Voters should choose elected leaders. Leaders should not get to cherry pick their voters through gerrymandering and voter suppression. The relentless push by Rs to violate these norms will end in autocracy.

US fund threatens to divest TotalEnergies stake over offshore wind exit ft.trib.al/9Sn5hKt

BIG SCOOP: Energy industry reps tell me the Trump administration is now extrajudicially blocking all new wind projects in the United States Apparently the Pentagon is refusing to sign off on once routine FAA airspace clearances even when military assets aren’t around My latest for @heatmap.news

"Why don't they put the solar on rooftops and parking lots instead of [place I don't want it]" Principally, 1. There aren't enough rooftops and parking lots 2. Economies of scale 3. There is no "They". There are multiple actors, private and public, with different incentives.

#SAVETHECAPS I know some folks will think that’s rich coming from an Austin fan, but I honestly hate to see a team cynically moved like this.

I wrote about how MLS killing the Vancouver Whitecaps would be the beginning of MLS' decline. They turned away from the things that made the league great and embraced wealth creation. And this will break the remaining spell that makes MLS games a unique experience open.substack.com/pub/wburdine...

I’m gonna vote for Gina, but this ain’t it. We gotta push for something better than helping knock a couple bucks off the fill-up for all the ridiculous gas guzzlers we’ve got here in TX. How about pushing for TxDOT to fund literally anything other than highways?

The afternoon rains are my favorite time of day at Paraíso Quetzal Lodge #CostaRica When the temp drops, the little beasts get hangry. I think these are all Fiery-throated Hummingbirds, but I think there is a single Talamanca behind. #birds #hummingbirds #nature

1. Your goal is to retrieve your treasure from a monstrous entity. 2. All you need is a pen and paper, but expensive software makes it much easier. 3. The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.

A Terlingua business owner says he just turned down half a million dollars rather than help house border wall construction crews. Contractors are offering huge sums of money to lock up lodging for wall crews, but these rural communities won't sell out to destroy their own home.

We teamed up with Texas Civil Rights Project today and sued U.S. Customs and Border Protection for withholding public records on plans to build border walls through the #BigBend region of Texas. More info: biodiv.us/4dzdxv4

Hell yeah Duolingo. #bikesky

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

This is *terrible* policy -- terrible economically, terrible ecologically, terrible politically.

Hey Austin, we gotta pump up those numbers. I propose daily patrols past Homeslice on Duval. We can win by a million.

Ugh. Maybe this is just one to stay quiet on. Population bomb was a “scientific” basis for so many racist theories and policies.

From @grist.org, in partnership with the Observer: Older residents in the small town of Ozona are thriving. Here's the unique way that wind energy is keeping retirees close to home, and giving them a better quality of life.

This thing didn’t kill me the first time. Maybe it’s worth another try.

This is why I don’t leave my bike outside during Texas summers.

We at AVCX crosswords believe that N and Ñ are different letters

I wish pbs would have the respect to use the correct official honorifics: It's John "Torture Memo" Yoo, you philistines.

On the other hand, John Yoo, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and former Justice Department official during the George W. Bush administration, says you can eat shit no problem. "Rub it in your eyes, even," he said. "It's fine." Yoo, who is in hospice, insists shit is sterile.

God forbid anyone ever have their ideas challenged. This is absolutely antithetical to university education.

The scientific understanding of human-driven climate change is much stronger today than it was in 2009 when the EPA first issued the endangerment finding. There is no scientific basis for the Trump administration's decision to repeal it
