AI is like a leaf blower. It does something that looks like work, but it takes a lot of energy, is really obnoxious, and you could do that work too, using the body that nature gave you. AI and leaf blowers make you less human, and that SUCKS.

Today, the Trump administration finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards for passenger cars and trucks. This move effectively kills the nation's CAFE standards, a program that has saved drivers $321 billion in fuel costs since 2010. Read UCS Statement: act.ucs.org/46NApCk

“The federal government’s decision to gut fuel economy standards is a handout to automakers and oil companies that will strap American consumers already struggling with an affordability crisis...Weakening these standards means drivers will spend more on fuel while having fewer options to choose efficient vehicles."

"They must always coddle drivers about how hard things are for them, how they’re victims of the system as much as anyone else." A nice take-down of nice boomer Peter Gleick. The old have screwed us all with their addiction to easy fossil-fueled living.

The reason tech oligarchs scoop up media properties is to control societal narratives about their products and themselves. They want to blunt criticism and shape public perception because deep down they know that no one wants any of this.

It really sucks that killing someone is basically legal in this country if you do it with your car

A Virginia driver who struck and killed a pedestrian less than three months ago had his case dismissed Thursday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and completing 20 hours of community service.
On June 18, the driver of a Prius jumped the curb of a Leesburg Pike service road near Seven Corners and fatally hit 38-year-old Sean King.

Vintage black-and-white advertising photo of a young couple lounging and sunbathing on a beach at a reservoir in Nevada, circa early 1960s. The young woman smiles as sits upright with her legs forward as she strums a ukulele. The young man on his belly is adjusting their portable radio. They both smile. In the background, another young couple run toward them, splashing in the water of the shoreline. In the background are the dry mountains, and superimposed on the image is a color photo of an atomic explosion's mushroom cloud, and the text: What does the Geiger counter say now, Bobby?

Saying that there's "driver backlash" to shared-streets initiatives is a poor framing of what's happening. Drivers don't have a monopoly on backlash; they're just people. We all live with our decisions. We should also convey the backlash of transit users & bikers against private car traffic.

We should set an accelerating rate for registration fees, such that in 10 years, the cost of operating classic cars is high enough to fund transit and multi-mode street design. Keep driving those foul hunks if they want, but make it very expensive and a net benefit to society through taxation.
