“Air pollution fell substantially as [Paris] restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Such an obvious no-brainer, it’s remarkable that so many cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

NEW: Paris residents are voting in a referendum today on whether an extra 500 of the city's streets should be pedestrianised & greened. "For the past 25 yrs we've gradually been reclaiming public space for pedestrians & gentle traffic, & with 'garden streets' to create lungs within neighbourhoods.”

Even though I like the Orion browser, I fundamentally do not like the idea of a browser built for tighter integration into a search engine. Of course, we have this problem because Safari (and only Safari) makes it impossible to pick your search engine. kagi.com/changelog#6479 @kagi.com

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
