They are motivated by the thought of swapping money for expertise and sidelining *the only people in the world who can thwart their goals*.

The technical excitement over AI's capabilities - from chess to gold-mining to treating pancreatic cancer - cannot be separated from the *political* excitement that billionaires (short on expertise, flush with cash) experience.

If your news network is interviewing a guy who claims he spent 18 days in heaven hanging out with Jesus, that is not actually a news network.

Assorted leg issues mean I now have about a 1cm window of saddle height where anything outside of it causes problems.

I was committed to going faast with a flat, level back. I also had my saddle too high back then. Not my tempo anymore.

Anyone in the Seattle area need a 130mm stem? I’ve got a couple of nice ones left over from my racy-fit days (no longer have the bike - helluva bike the roadie). Hit me up!

Walking or biking somewhere like this makes me furious. The lack of dignity and respect baked into our infrastructure and driver behavior is fucked up.

In ERs, we see the impact of unsafe roads regularly. Cities with good bike infrastructure have fewer deaths and greater safety for all, regardless of whether they’re walking, cycling or driving. Ontario gov should reconsider how to spend $48 mil Improve lives - not put them at risk #bikeTO #onpoli

I've luckily only suffered permanently fucked up knuckles being doored in an NYC bike lane. I think we need to weld car doors shut on one side. I mean, if NASCAR does it for safety...

When it comes to road safety, cities have two choices: Adapt kids to traffic: keep them indoors and drive them everywhere. Or adapt traffic to kids: make streets safe enough to move as autonomous members of society. The choice says a lot about the kind of city we want to build. youtu.be/O_WjWRmQwtg

BREAKING 📣 For several days, a peaceful protest took place in the morning, after a young child was killed by a car driver. The child was riding his bike to school, the father with him. The grieving community came together with hundreds of people, cyclist or not, creating a 3km long human bike lane.

I feel like I'm seeing way less caution at unregulated intersections as well. Close calls all the time.

expectation on neighborhood streets. On small streets, the honor system or social contract was what kept speeds lower. I'm not sure how we eliminate these outliers at this point. (This street has some speed bumps, but they were clearly inadequate)

A little salty from observing feral drivers the last couple of days. This morning, modern sedan absolutely floored going down a neighborhood street by Brighton Playfield, terrifyingly doing 50 easy. While enforcement used to be at least a possibility on arterials, I feel like there was never that

Even without a 1:1 trade, in the big picture, e-bike trips displacing car trips leads to reduced consumption.
