People always get big mad when I say cars are bad investments and your wealth shouldn’t be tied to your house. But it’s true!

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Democrats May Risk Their Own Tea Party Moment For keen political observers, the most surprising thing about Donald Trump’s second term probably isn’t the slew of executive orders, the abrupt foreign policy pivots, or even the integration of El…

Two weeks ago, I wrote that Democrats are facing a problem, where they may be seriously underrating the rage of their base and their own Tea Party moment.

If they vote for this CR, it'd amplify that. Durbin, Hickenlooper etc would all be facing major discontent. split-ticket.org/2025/02/21/t...

Want to Go Car-Free? Test the Waters by Renting a Cargo Bike For around $150 per month, you can see how a cargo bike fits into your life. If you find you prefer two wheels to four, you can even buy your rental at a discount.

Trump convinced enough folks that drag queens and Mexicans are the enemy so now we’ll all be poorer, sicker, and worse off for it all while his cronies seize the government & funnel public money into their wallets.

Does this roller coaster have an eject button? I want off the ride.

Congestion pricing makes NYC safer Just more than a month ago, crossing the chaotic streets of Manhattan with my daughter meant taking a chance with her life, especially as she’s a toddler who would rather run free. We live in the g…

if you somehow start building 1000s of homes without addressing these issues, those same homes will still get snapped up and freeze out first time buyers who (going back to wealth inequality) don't have the resources to outbid investment.

I know everyone is upset about single family homes being bought by investors and rented out, but I can’t get that mad about it because they give families who don’t have a $100,000+ down payment or cannot qualify for a mortgage the opportunity to live in single family neighborhoods with good schools.

Vehicle traffic is down in Manhattan, but pedestrian traffic is up, data says Congestion-pricing has eased traffic in Manhattan, but it hasn't kept pedestrians away.

NYC Congestion Pricing’s first month report card: Car traffic down, people traffic up: good for business - good for the environment - good $ for transit.

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yesβ€”It Will Help. Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.)

The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved.

What a brain dead piece. Yeah, liberty thrives in an environment where the government lets you do exactly one thing with your property? Where an inminban of your most psychotic neighbors monitors you 24/7, and charges you a fee for the privilege? Get a grip.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

I die a little on the inside whenever I see some supplement scammer claim a completely nonexistent health benefit like mitigating radiation burden.

The only radiation you need mitigating from comes from the sun and plz use SPF for that. No need to dye your internal organs.

​The top story on every US media outlet is the crash at National Airport, where 67 people died.

Meanwhile, 67 Americans die in car crashes every 15 hours

The DCA crash is clearly front-page news. Maybe we should give America's road safety crisis the same treatment.
