One of my most galaxy-brained takes is that politicians and political groups should talk more about workers’ share of national income. It's one of the clearest, simplest ways to describe how billionaires and corporate elites captured so much of the economy--and something policy can change.

U.S. workers' share of national income falls to a new low

Labor's bargaining position has worsened markedly in the last half-decade.

sorry to be clear I'm saying if all the democracy-destabilizing social media stuff could somehow be targeted at the idea that we need cars in cities, instead of like... the idea that vaccines are good. I agree robotaxis aren't it, if they were then carshares would be bigger already

The whole merit conversation has to be thrown in the garbage. People get to where they are because they conform, not due to merit. There are many people who have the merit to hold positions or spaces of affluence. The determining factor is “fit” which is actually compliance

4 things that made me far less scared of cyclists as a pedestrian: 1. Thinking "did they 'nearly hit me' or did they just surprise me?" 2. If neither, "was there any credible risk of harm to anyone or was I just being a cop about it?" 3. Being aware that hitting me would very likely hurt them.

Anton Lodder @antonlodder.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

but this is precisely my point! you are interested in cycling for just one of like 20 different cultural aspects it has (it's a sport, a hobby, green, a transport thing, an urban subculture, a tech thing, a sports fan thing, etc.). there are so many ways to build community around cycling

030

Anton Lodder @antonlodder.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I am aware of this phenomenon yes, but I don't think it compares to cycling in terms of entry points or subcultures

Anton Lodder @antonlodder.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

biking is also a fun activity which has a culture and community building aspect to it in a way that transit just doesn't. people form bike clubs, participate in sports, go to community rides, make friends. it's simply way more interesting to engage in the bike space.

Anton Lodder @antonlodder.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

bike stuff is also waaaay cheaper and easier to have impact; doing a $700k bike lane is routinely shown to increase usage by like 6x. it's just way more rewarding to advocate for that vs buying like 1-2 extra buses
