Here’s what we really need to focus a lot more discussion on — you don’t need to hate cars in order to want people to have the CHOICE to walk, bike and take public transit in your city. Better cities provide more choices, and work better for EVERYONE. Bad cities offer only dependency. #CarDependency

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

For the past 26 years, American sunscreen has been terrible compared to sunscreens available in the rest of the world. But last week, the FDA approved a new chemical sunscreen filter for the first time since 1999. At last, better sunscreens are on the way. Read more from @vicmsong.bsky.social:
