Sub optimal hazards on the Greenbelt in Garden City.

Correct, built before parking requirements. And that’s true about transit back then, but it still functions just fine today with reduced transit. It’s in a very walkable location and near current transit stops.

'Washington Post' CEO departs after going AWOL during massive job cuts Washington Post chief executive and publisher Will Lewis has departed just days after the newspaper announced massive layoffs.

Yesterday the Washington Post rid itself of Publisher and Chief Executive Will Lewis. If you're interested in those events and their tumultuous background, I would recommend this detailed account from NPR's @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

β€œIn other words, the true benefit of [road widening] is that it enables more driving, not that it eases congestion.”

100% true. Getting around by bike is a life hack in so many ways.

My holiday card pet peeve is people including wide angle photos of themselves in tiny little postage stamp images on a card so you can hardly see anything at all in the photo. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Boiseans: We'd love to have a direct flight to the east coast. NYC? DC? Boston?

Boise Airport: Ok how about Anchorage

The funniest stupid thing (stupidest funny thing?) that violent drivers always say:

"All these bicycles are causing traffic!!"

Ah so ... you'd prefer if we were all in cars in front of you?

That child, and the one yesterday, were both killed by a truck.

It is possible to make cities safe for young pedestrians like this. Many places have achieved this. For now, through our relative inaction, we are deciding that the lives of children are a price worth paying for the vastly overstated convenience of driving.

Election is Tuesday!

I’m out knocking in support of my two favorite candidates for Garden City council. If you live in the GC or know someone who does, get after it.

Exactly, and because of that, losing your license is a relatively extreme punishment. It’s like house arrest forever. You can’t really participate in society without a car in most of CA.

Today's podcasts in the past were journalists interviewing someone for an hour, then picking out the most important parts, doing some research, and writing an article that you could read in ~5 mins that was useful.

Now you just waste an hour of your life listening to the unedited interview.

Well put and that’s my issue with NPR News, too. A lot of reporting that’s β€œhere’s a deep societal problem about which we offer no ideas for solutions and if anything try to scuttle any hope for solutions you might have.”
