So this is nuts; Orange County did an "e-bike buyback" event where they paid people up to $1,000 for illegal e-motos...and smaller amounts for legal, unmodified e-bikes that are super unlikely to hurt anyone. At multiple points, the cops refuse to pay for "bikes" that can go up to 40mph.

"Snohomish, Pierce, and Yakima counties all saw significant increases in ICE seizure, with 256 kidnappings in the week ending September 26. That's nearly double the rate from earlier in the summer, and a 133% rise from the previous week. And this is only reported sightings." Deeply concerning.

There's a big difference between "defending bad behavior" and questioning why it needs to be front page news in the New York Times. I realize this is a nuanced distinction in an era where nuance-blindness is more common than blinking. Nonetheless, it's a distinction worth making.

“When Russia adopted permanent DST in 2011 (before switching back in 2014), adolescents experienced higher rates of sleep deprivation, social jet lag, and depressed mood, especially in northern communities.”

The Conversation

B.C.’s switch to permanent DST adds to the ‘perfect storm’ for poorer adolescent sleep and mental health

Published: March 9, 2026 5:05pm EDT
Updated: March 12, 2026 8:07pm EDT

The British Columbia government recently announced the province will adopt permanent daylight saving time (DST). It framed the decision as a way to improve health, reduce disruptions, simplify scheduling and provide more evening daylight.

The adoption of permanent DST raises significant concerns about social jetlag and long-term health impacts. Scientific evidence indicates that permanent DST results in a chronic mismatch between people’s daily clock-based schedules and their internal biological clock.

This mismatch is known as social jetlag, results in sleep deprivation and negatively impacts health, as detailed by the Canadian Sleep Society, Canadian Society for Chronobiology, Canadian Sleep Research Consortium and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
