Holy shit. @calmatters.org looked at all records of people whoβve killed peoples behind the wheel β and found a horrifying CA DMV scandal. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social needs to call for an investigation.

And that's especially true when idiots like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social start a podcast and amplify conservative messaging because some Republican consultant told him to.
Republican ideas aren't more popular, they're just louder.
I've been saying for years that it doesn't matter what the Dems actually say, it won't break through in this media landscape.

Very few Dutch cyclists wear helmets. Yet theirs are among the safest streets on earth. Why?
They understand itβs more beneficial to calm motor traffic, build dedicated infrastructure, and nurture a culture of everyday cycling. Not force the most vulnerable users to armour up.

"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

OK, all. Here's the deal.
I need 69 of you to get a paid subscription to Law Dork today so that I can focus on writing, researching, and covering the courts and the Trump administration in this new era.
This is the next big goal for Law Dork, so, please, let's do this! www.lawdork.com
It would go a long way in addressing the climate crisis, the affordability crisis, the public health crisis, & the equity crisis.
It would improve traffic, save lives, reduce pollution & noise, improve livability & save public money.
Never let anyone tell you the solutions we need are too complex.
Iβve been thinking about how monumentally stupid the Elon video game cheating thing is and I think it comes back to this post
there arenβt a ton of people who work in cars, or rockets, or even software
but everyone - everyone! - understands cheating at video games

Yes, exactly this. My review was that it stayed a little too true to the stage version, and I wanted the transition from foe to friend to be given more depth.
But I think the second half had some of the better moments, so I'm still hopeful for part two.
When you buy their gas, you enable and encourage them to keep it up and directly add to their profits. You can't blame companies for selling products that you keep willingly buying.
The only way to stop this is to reduce car dependence.
The Muni Monthly Pass now costs $1020 annually. A Residential Parking Pass (RPP) costs $190. Why is it 5 times cheaper to store an entire car curbside than to ride Muni?

Ok, but I still feel safer around these than human drivers.
I am 100% on board with prioritizing active and public transit over cars, but I also think we should prioritize AVs over human-driven rideshares or taxis. And eventually over private vehicles.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best Iβve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

There are plenty of resources out there for parents to figure out what's represented in a show. Proactively erasing people is simply indulging those who have just that bigoted desire - "I don't want that type of person visible." Maybe the uncomfortable conversation with your kid is why you think so.

the lesson of the election isnβt βwe should give up on trans rights,β itβs that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?
