Build proper bike lane = get a lot more cycling.

Politically speaking, it's unlikely Trump's DOT approves another VPPP for congestion pricing, but any serious American city should start ramping up planning and review efforts now so that they can have a congestion pricing program ready to go the second a sympathetic administration is in place.

Did anyone else note @nypost.com insane op-ed saying NYC needed to 're-think' protected bike lanes because they "give bike riders a false sense of security"? @brooklynspoke.bsky.social nypost.com/2025/05/28/o...

Guys, it's putting garbage in a bin. This is hardly ground-breaking stuff. Let's not act like New York can't do anything that thousands of other cities already do.

👀 The Russian delegation is not as cheerful as in the past negotiations with Ukraine.

WSJ, Page One: “.. There’s not a lot politically I can do, but what I can do is not spend my money in the U.S.,” said Marc Toews, a 53-year-old Canadian long-haul truck driver. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/its...

"Harriet Tubman, along with Black soldiers, took part in a daring Union raid of Combahee Ferry near Beaufort, South Carolina. She became the first American woman to lead a major military operation when she and at least 150 Black soldiers helped to rescue more than 700 Black Americans..."

Patricia Krenwinkel should die in prison.

I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Almost half of U.K electricity is currently being generated by clean renewable energy, with just 8% coming from dirty fossil fuels. The U.K has decarbonised its grid faster than any other industrial economy. Ignore the liars and deniers. Renewables are a national success story.

Russ Vought: "We're certainly not taking impoundment off the table. We're not in love with the law."

One thing Republicans get is that the choice is fighting climate change or fighting science. There's no other choice.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

The BBC obtained a mobile phone that was smuggled out of North Korea. The level of control the regime holds over its citizens is shocking but not surprising.

“In nearly every industry, the United States’ most transformative innovations over the last eight decades depended on government funding, because the government was the most patient and reliable actor willing to take on risks for the public benefit.” And China will reap the benefits.

A top “sounds untrue, but very much is!” tidbit.

Still the most mind-blowing fact about the New York City subway is that more people take it on a daily basis than fly domestically in the United States. www.faa.gov/air_traffic/...

Fuck every single person that voted for Trump.

Blocking new housing enriches existing property owners by forcing newcomers into bidding wars over scarce homes. If we want to lower the rent and stick it to the people getting rich off of real estate speculation, we need to end the housing shortage by building more homes.

If it's bad to pour cold water onto a hot pan when it comes off the stove, I absolutely don't want to know. Never tell me. It's one of the only pure joys I have.
