New article out this month on how doctors become fascists. 50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path. drive.google.com/file/d/1CAk9...

Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎

My day has instantly become better after watching this ☺️

Making intersections safe for everyone! Another great video from Oh The Urbanity and this topic reinforces my belief that everyone should be required to take a course called "Mobility Education." Think Driver's Ed but taught from multiple perspectives of walking, biking transit and even driving.

Every bit of this mess that we’re currently enduring is because rich people need more money & they dgaf if you’re hungry or homeless or dead in order for them to get more money

This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life. Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting. Source: x.com/PrognosticCh...

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

"OWNERS REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED ABOUT TESLAS FAILING TO DETECT ONCOMING TRAINS"

🚨NEW ANALYSIS: 22 years of evidence confirm what we’ve long known - smart growth (i.e. transit-oriented development) creates more construction jobs, higher wages & stronger unions than suburban sprawl. Smart growth = good jobs, cleaner air, better cities. goodjobsfirst.org/smart-growth...

above all LVCVA's mission is to fill hotel rooms so what if environmental laws are scoffed. one could also argue how idiotic running cars thru small tunnels is versus you know an actual public transport system. Vegas is and always will be corrupt. www.propublica.org/article/elon...

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet. Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile? My essay, in @bloomberg.com (gift link below)

The chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize confirms that Donald Trump does not meet the moral and ethical standards associated with the award, citing a lack of courage and integrity a trait that defines MAGA.

I’ve posted this channel on here before because I think it’s great to see someone covering Latin America: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH4X... They’re much more qualified than me to talk about Latin America because I have very little experience in Latin America.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of." One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

To build a truly equitable electric school bus transition, we need to know where the buses are + where they aren’t. Join us Oct 15 for an online presentation with authors of a report, “Embedding Equity in Canada’s Transition to Electric School Buses.” buff.ly/WNVcqYr

In 1947, some Hollywood stars including Henry Fonda stood up to anti-communist witch hunts. Now, Jane Fonda and artists like Viola Davis, Pedro Pascal and Billie Eilish are reviving their organization — the Committee for the First Amendment — to defend free speech again. buff.ly/B79gBQX #polisky

Anybody care that Vice-President JD Vance immediately created a company that buys up bankrupt farms, pennies on the dollar, right after he took office. Nothing like being a part of the regime that creates the problem and then personally profiting off of it.

Smug alert

Here are the Subway/Metro Station design guidelines that were compiled by UMTA/USDOT in the 1970s in an attempt to prevent WMATA-style cost overruns again. It got shelved when everyone at UMTA got laid off and we forgot it. But it's prescient about cost drivers -- rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/11352

Model station designs for both cut and cover and mined! It favors mined-twin tubed stations (a la Crossrail) because of reduced excavation size. The US/MTA habit of mining boxes underground is likely the most expensive way to build a subway station. Pdf pgs 55 and 56.

This is what we hope to do in El Cerrito - build a new library at Plaza BART, along with 743 homes. This is our best opportunity for a new library, as there’s not space to rebuild on current site and the lease for the BART site will be $1. A citizens measure is circulating now to fund the library.

weird how the c suite classes act like they’re all risk averse but then when it comes to actually unpopular things like mass layoffs or giving AI the time of day they’re suddenly brave mavericks who must “innovate” at any cost

When @sgoodyear.bsky.social and @brooklynspoke.bsky.social got in touch about doing an episode of Cancel Me, Daddy, I fangirled hard, and then we cooked up this really cool episode about automotive propaganda and how it works in today's politics It's out here now on youtube and everywhere tomorrow

The Australian Catholic University uses AI to detect whether students are using AI to cheat on assignments, then requires students to prove their innocence. The problem isn't AI, it's unethical fools who think AI is any sort of authority on anything. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

It happened then too. I’m still haunted by this image from Marc Hermann’s “New York: Then and Now” series of the aftermath of a three-year-old Brooklyn girl run over on her tricycle in 1959:

"Our streets are deliberately and inequitably designed. In cities like Toronto, over 80% of street space is dedicated exclusively to motor vehicles. This is not a natural state; it is the result of decades of policy choices that prioritize vehicle throughput above all else." Lanrick Bennett

One of America's top investigative newsrooms wants to uncover news stories about the federal government by appealing to potential tipsters on public transit — and highlighting the importance of shared modes for reinforcing the pillars of democracy. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/08/t...

society if we ignored conservatives’ complaints

Urbanism is so successful, highway engineers now have to build in *secret* hidden lanes like it's the Piața Romană metro station.
