This is still one of my favourite videos ever, perfectly explaining the staggering amount of public money that’s going into NOT solving traffic congestion. “It means you spend a lot of money now for a very short-term benefit." Jevon’s Paradox via Australia’s great show “Utopia.” Please share!

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

The best transportation plan is a great land-use plan. But too many cities still let flawed traffic modelling actually prevent smarter land-use decisions, resulting in what I call the “sweet spot of failure” — enough density to cause all those local traffic problems, but never enough to solve them.

Good luck running as an unaffiliated candidate. I say this, knocking on a lot of doors trying to get an independent elected to the Colorado legislature. The electorate is too polarized to elect someone unaligned with a party orthodoxy. And that is part of the problem.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

In our important and complex discussions about cities, traffic congestion, public transit, and New York City specifically, Elon Musk continues his long tradition of having absolutely no idea what he’s talking about.

Post on X from Elon Musk claiming the New York City is gridlocked with cars because people are afraid to walk or take public transit.
