A #bike jumble in every U.S. city would be massive #ClimateInfluence.

Nobody Wants to Be a Foodie How “foodie” went from badge of honor to cringey term to pejorative smear and all the way back again.

Here it is, my last piece for @eater.bsky.social: my treatise on the last 20 years of food culture, and how food turned into fandom. I really hope you read it. www.eater.com/food-culture...

Why a Teacher of the Year Is Giving His Prize Money Away Alhassan Susso, who teaches in the Bronx, is funding a teaching prize in Gambia, his home country, after the State Department canceled a grant program.

Even though this man is legally blind in one eye and the vision in his other eye is impaired, he’s giving his teacher of the year prize money away to help others

‘Paris Here I Come!’

My fave guide to Paris was written in 1953 by Ollie Stewart, my great-uncle, a WWII correspondent, + one of the many Black expats who chose Paris over USA's Jim Crow -- his little book for Black travelers is called PARIS HERE I COME 💘 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/t...
