Or is it the New York Times which is less significant than they think?

My kid learned on one, and it meant that by the time she was 4 and a half years old she was confidently pedal biking herself to and from school over a mile away up a big hill!

I know there are lots of people who just don't own cars, or have EVs or whatever, but this is just us trying to make living a little closer to our values a little more fun. Our community makerspace has a vinyl cutter so making the leaves was not difficult, and auto-quality vinyl is pretty cheap!

For the #weekwithoutdriving I wanted to share a pic of our car: this summer we started putting little green leaf stickers on the car to celebrate every time with didn't drive it, when we biked or walked or took the bus instead. We're hoping to cover the whole car. :)

Nobody needs AI. And I profoundly do not want to be paying for it.

#Trumpflation is going to hit us all hard as we will all have to pay for rising electric power costs.

It's available on DVD! Both seasons are out, and you can probably get it from your local library! Or probably eBay. It's the best television I've ever seen.

I Took Bernie Into Deep Trump Country. Can He Win Them Over?
YouTube video by More Perfect Union I Took Bernie Into Deep Trump Country. Can He Win Them Over?

Totally fair! I think the fact that UMN has 56,000 students and no where near that number of parking spots is effecting my own sample size! :)

As Covid surges in the US, Americans can’t get vaccinated: β€˜terrified I might kill somebody’ The FDA is allowing the vaccine for people 65 and older, but younger people need to have an underlying condition

Just a friendly reminder that Covid is no fun at all, and if you're feeling ill, please get tested. I'm sincerely hoping that we can all get new boosters soon to protect each other. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm curious who you were asking about "most people not taking transit" when I attended UMN for grad school nearly everyone I knew did at least some public transit, I think the most common thing I hear was something like, "most weeks I only use my car for grocery shopping."

We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is

Sometimes the regionality of vocab really helps out. I remember seeing cars at a stop in an intersection before I realized there had been an accident, when my friend's Texan mother, said, "oh, it's a wreck." And I thought, "that is exactly what it is."

Nor courage. I look forward to a day when people don't say, "you're brave!" when they see me biking.
