Here’s the blunt reality — reasonably-sized electric vehicles need to be the future of cars, but cars can’t be the future of urban mobility. Fewer cars. Less driving. More inviting mobility choices. Better communities and cities. These are the 4 pillars of the REAL urban transportation solution.

If you haven't treated yourself to Sinners yet, I loved it. The cast and the soundtrack are on fire. I laughed, I cried, I loved how much it loved music.

It can't be stressed enough: this kind of city is MORE accessible, with MORE choices for everyone. Reducing the number of cars driven by people who don't need to drive leaves more space for mobility vehicles and reduces journey times. Cars are expensive!

Scottish Councils demanding that trans children out themselves to their classmates is obviously institutional transphobic abuse, and schools should absolutely refuse to comply. The obsession with policing children's bodies is disturbing.

This is so true. We also MUST reduce the size of cars. Huge, heavy cars cause more death and harm when they crash. The benefit to society far, far outweighs the temporary comfort for the richest.

'That annoying Beep Beep Beep is the ire of many city dwellers' I'll tell you what is annoying: the 7,500 hit-and-runs by cars recorded annually in London. This trumps my concerns about the sounds made by bikes used by kids who lack access to bikes.

I'm sure most of you have seen this, but yeah, it's a bfd that it's coming from an Israeli, an IDF vet, a scholar of the Holocaust. I hope it (and Haaretz' stellar work) begin to move parts of my community that haven't been willing to hear up until now.

Rümeysa Öztürk describes the library in the prison where she was held for 45 days for co-authoring an op-ed
After many requests, I finally accessed what turned out to be the saddest and smallest library I have ever seen. I was surprised to find that the books were not categorized by author or Dewey number but size. I tried to find a book before my allotted time ended and picked a cooking book; the second time I got a novel. I began flipping through the pages in search of solace, as books have always been my safe haven. To my surprise, I discovered handwritten notes scattered throughout the book, dated and written by various detainees over time. These messages were filled with reminders of hope, strength, and the assurance that this, too, shall pass. Tears welled up in my eyes as I read their heartfelt expressions. It’s incredible how human beings can find ways to uplift each other, transcending time, space, and borders if they want to and if they choose to. I continued to turn the pages, holding on to the hope of finding brighter moments in this terrifying situation—all thanks to the kindness of people I had never met.
