>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

Cargo-bike final boss… the crockpot-o-soup

100lbs of chicken food. No problem! (Ok.. not gonna lie, it wasn’t a picnic going home up the steep hills lol)

I accidentally became an urbanist when, after years of teaching environmental science, I impulse bought an ebike so I could ride a bike to work. Fell down the rabbit hole very quickly after that.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

@sgoodyear.bsky.social @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social I’m up next for bookclub. Buckle up gents!

WATCH: Think 15-Minute City conspiracy theorists are just unhinged tin-foil hat nut jobs ranting about global overlords? Well, drop everything and watch this hard-hitting story by the @thedailyshow.com to be proven… um… #UrbanTruth Congrats @culdesac.bsky.social (ps, walkable cities can have cars)

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

The Trump Administration is hiding documents from the Epstein Files that contain accusations against Donald Trump. This is a cover-up. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Did a brewery by bike tour with a group of 7 guys yesterday. Two of us have been using e-bikes are transportation for several years. The other 5 had never ridden an electric bike. Today, three of those 5 are scanning the used market for a bike and asking for recs. One of us! One of us! One of us!

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Wow. This is good.

My kids during every AI commercial… BOOOO! The teens hate AI. They hate it

Outstanding

I know everything is fucking terrible right now but this buttery mushroom Dutch baby I just made helped at least a little…

Worth every second

The fuck…

All ready for the finale (finally caught up)

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

This is not a hard message. Localize it. Embrace it. Win.

Christmas came early for me, with delivery of my new @airspool.bsky.social heat pump. The driving force behind me getting this thing was that it promised to be easy to install, and boy was it ever! Read on to see how I got it on the night it was delivered without drilling a big hole through my wall.

This is obviously a, ah, provocative take on the subject, but it indeed an enormous societal problem that children have stopped walking or biking to school. There are plenty of individually rational reasons parents might drive their kids to school, but, in a wider context, no good reasons.

President Trump spoke publicly about Colorado's Tina Peters for the first time since issuing her a so-called "pardon." Trump did not mention the pardon but did make several false claims about Peters' case. We unpack them one by one.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

Anyone know anything about the Virtue Courier e-cargo bike? www.facebook.com/marketplace/... Quite a deal

@tomflood.bsky.social My Physics warm up slides today. The last one is for those students that wanna argue with me about who should or shouldn’t be in the street.

No Kings in Highlands Ranch, CO.

Another day, another closed sidewalk with zero detours or thought whatsoever to what anyone outside a car might do here. I was told we should jump the sidewalk, ride the wrong way in the vehicle lane, and jump back up the sidewalk once we passed the closure. What if I was in a wheel chair?

Riding your bike to the grocery store… For those times when you really should go to the gym, you definitely need therapy, but you don’t really have time for either because you have too many errands to run.

Morning ride to the grocery store.

Running errands is just a fun experience when you leave the car at home. Who needs therapy when you start the day like this?

In addition to being an advocate for better bike infrastructure, I’m also a teacher. I have a design lab class with some Glowforge laser engraving machines. I recently remanded all the machines to LoTR themes. Just made a new sticker label for the first one. I’ll be giggling about it all day.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

How is this not a screaming massive headline across every news site? This is insane, a virtual declaration of civil war. We fought a revolution to not be subjected to this kind of tyranny

Entre todas las cosas que me dan terror de este video es pensar que la única solución parece ser es que el celular estalle cuando se acerque a un auto. Imaginate una persona que no tiene otra opción que caminar por esa ruta o moverse en bici. Luego rompen las pelotas por cada cosa.

Motherfucking wind farms…

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If you've tuned into CSPAN anytime in the last 2 hours and found yourself slapping the side of the TV, wondering why the screen isn't changing, here's what's happening...

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Believe it or not, it isn’t the scope of the job that pushes people to choose the car for their daily errands. What makes people shy away from bikes is the inhospitable environment they face when NOT in a car. @americanfietser.bsky.social

My son and I rode our bikes down to the local pizza joint for dinner while the girls are in New York. Ebikes make evening more fun. Our little town (Castle Rock) is growing fast and lots of the old timers are very concerned about parking. We always get the best spots!
