Reminder: measles causes immunological amnesia, wiping out acquired immunity whether from previous illnesses or vaccinations. Humans only got permanent immunity, for anything, in 1963 after the measles vaccine ensured a measles outbreak a decade later wouldn't make you vulnerable again.

New poll result: “Do you think the US military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran?” Yes — 16% No — 60%

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

SF's hype man for this, Trevor Chandler, ran for the SF Dem Party Committee & D9 Supervisor cosplaying as a teacher, but returned to the world of surveillance. Makes sense since he was a gentile AIPAC lobbyist & CitizenApp flack.

Had my first direct encounter with ICE agents staking someone out today and it was a lot like shooing rodents out of the garbage. Shine a light, make some noise, watch them scurry. 10/10 highly recommend.

When you live in a proper city and want to walk to dinner, but your parents visiting from the suburbs insist on driving:

When the Dutch Consul 🇳🇱 wears a helmet on a bike, it's your red flag that city infrastructure prioritizes cars over people in your very-major-city streets.

HEADS UP! Posting this for the 1st time on Bluesky. If you are holding a transportation film screening (or want to) OR if you have a festival and want to show Streetfilms here is the process. 1 - Ask. (Yes, they are free to screen) It's a great way to get communities to talk about transportation.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

A conundrum: Extreme weather deters transit use, which worsens climate change – and makes extreme weather more likely in the future.

"We’re 100 days into the era of congestion pricing... The statistics from January into March, both all-in-one and otherwise, are rolling in, and they show a trend that is clear and unmistakable: It’s working." Yesterday in @nymag.com:

Sunday reading: how Virginia can speed up our intercity trains & VRE without expensive track realignments or 'high-speed rail' — simply by adding level-boarding platforms to reduce dwell times and catenary electrification for faster train acceleration.

The Trump administration has canceled a Biden-era agreement requiring the state of Alabama to clean up raw sewage in poor, Black, rural communities where filthy toilet water has been flowing directly into the yards of homes where children play.

Shortstack Mississippi utilized a hybrid system of panelized, wood-framed walls paired with Cross-Laminated Timber, delivering 36 new, mixed-income, multifamily units in 13-months to North Portland’s historic Mississippi District. 📍Portland, OR 🏗️ Shortstack Housing

36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake. -Keith Edwards

i think it is incredibly important to share this news. it was dropped on a weekend, likely reducing public awareness of the decision. no coincidence it happened along with rejecting assistance to a city dealing with lead poisoning concerns.

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

I'm so delighted that Love on the Spectrum Season 3 has a new star, Pari, who is obsessed with transit (MBTA) and says a deal breaker for her would be a date who has a car and wants to drive to Boston instead of taking the train. 🚇 #trains #transit #loveonthespectrum

Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

If NYC is forced to end congestion pricing they should remove as many travel lanes as possible & do woonerfs, traffic calming, bike/bus lanes, pedestrianize streets w specified delivery hours, etc. & remove the incentive for silly car travel in a city where it's just dumb to drive most of the time

If Democrats had their shit together, they would have national leaders deployed to rural school districts across America, paired with local party officials, to discuss the impacts of this order directly with parents starting on Monday

As true today as it was then! "If you are going to write, talk, comment, or argue over any public question, don't do it by just reading one newspaper. … You can tell in a minute a person that only reads one paper. – March 18, 1934 Quote provided by the Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore.

Another study adding to the evidence from Talinn, 60+ in London and elsewhere: you can make Public Transport good and cheap (even free) and it has little impact on car use. You have to actively restrict driving by making it less convenient and more expensive if you want mode shift.

I feel like “Republicans stole 32 grand from you last year, and that was before they broke into the treasury” would be good messaging.

We went through this with zoning, and now we're going through it with building code: trillion dollar industries depend on these things, yet a bunch of precocious bloggers can swoop in and expose these institutions as full of pseudoscience. Does nobody do their job? @aarmlovi.bsky.social

#SB2111 is in committee next Tuesday March 4th It allows cyclists to: 🛑 Yield at stop signs 🚲🫂🚲 Ride side by side ⬆️ Ride contraflow You can show support by filling out a proponent 'Witness Slip'. See the photo for instructions ✍️ my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/...

it’s awesome how every single argument against congestion pricing has been directly disproven now that we have hard data

Don’t pass $4.5 Trillion in tax cuts and ever come at me again that we can’t have this.
