“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Last month, I spent $500 on gas IN THE PRIUS. Effing ridiculous. The Prius is a 2007 with almost 400k miles. A true gem, but… she old. Charging from home would cost me ~$120 per month. From a business perspective, I can take on $380/month car payment for an EV. And, my car wouldn’t be old.

James Talarico responded to the latest faux scandal: "I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."

Hey @wajali.bsky.social !!!

Big day for Greenpoint and the culmination of years of visionary organizing. When the last admin's rampant corruption stopped the safety redesign of McGuinness Blvd, Greenpointers didn't give up. They got a new Mayor. And he delivered.

An acquaintance just told be that because of their E-bike, they are falling in love with Portland again! They realized that sitting in car traffic is what was making them miserable. This was SO COOL to hear in person! WOW! Bikes really are better. #BikesAreBetter #Ebikes #Portland #PDX

China has developed a battery that is based on sea salt. Not lithium. It is now being used in Chinese vehicles. It’s more efficient, can hold 90% of its charge at -40c, provides a range of 500 kms, cheap to manufacture, and better for the environment. The US is being left in the dust.

Hi

I think people should learn to criticize Bluesky without comparing it to twitter because twitter isn’t twitter anymore. Judge this platform by its own merits or issues.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

It is fucking hilarious that the Trump administration needed to tell Iranian officials to not pay attention to senile grandpa‘s unhinged posts because they are mainly for “domestic media purposes” and should be ignored. And yes, this is fact.

David Attenborough has spent years sounding the alarm on trawling, and he’s right: bottom trawling is one of the most destructive practices in our oceans. Alaska needs leaders willing to stand up to the trawling lobby and protect our fisheries before it’s too late.

When infrastructure treats bikes as serious transportation, society stops treating them as children's toys.

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

After weeks of Starbucks leadership telling every major newspaper in the country how mean Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s been to them by publicly not liking them, today she formally apologized saying she thought they knew everyone here including herself hated them already.

It's worth noting that Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991 and in those days other women also testified that Thomas had a heavy obsession with pornography. This coincides with his appearances in the Epstein Files. Maybe we should look closer.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.
