In the 2025 Democratic mayoral primary, young voters turned out in record numbers flipping the age dynamics of NYC elections. According to data from the NYC Board of Elections, the 18β24 age group had the highest turnout of any age bracket, with over 110,000 votes cast. Voters in their 20s and early 30s followed closely behind. Compare that to 2021, when the majority of voters were in their 60s and 70s, and young turnout lagged behind. This time, the energy was clearly with Gen Z and younger Millennials, suggesting a major shift in whoβs shaping the cityβs future. This surge in youth participation played a decisive role in Mamdaniβs victory overcoming establishment backed rivals. #mamdani #nyc #newyork #queens #bronx #manhattan

Zohran Mamdani, who just bested Cuomo in mayoralty primary, wants to bring universal "school-streets" (school-proximate streets closed to cars + trucks) to #NYC.
That's made things a whole lot safer, and healthier, for kids in #Paris and #London, but until now, it's been a non-starter in the US.
China now has 1 terawatt of solar capacity. For reference, the entire US power grid has 1.3TW of capacity.

A two panel comic. The top panel depicts an adult June beetle talking to their child, a grub. They are both in a dimly lit living room, with the grub in front of a TV depicting a video game taking place in a lush, green meadow. Adult beetle's dialogue: Ugh kids these days! When I was their age I'd climb trees! And ride my bike... outside! Second panel, captioned "Meanwhile, outside..." Depicting a wide, hazy stroad (street-road). Cars are backed up at a stoplight and tall signs and billboards for vaguely fictional fast food and convenience stores can be seen. It looks like a desolate, unpleasant place.

13.03.2025 14:47 β π 20121 π 7135 π¬ 684 π 537Thanks for sharing your insights on the risk compensation hypothesis. I based my thoughts on anecdotes from the Netherlands, where helmet use may reflect a cultural phenomenon rather than a global trend. I also believe it's always safer to wear a helmet than to forgo one.
05.01.2025 22:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Hot take: Helmet-free cyclists ride more cautiously. Helmets can create a false sense of safety, leading to riskier behavior. In the Netherlands, fast riders wear helmets, while casual cyclists often don't. Paradoxically, no helmet may mean safer cycling habits.
