Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

In a massive dataset of over 10,000 cities around the world, the strongest association with distance travelled by cycling was not climate, topography, or even infrastructure - it was *gasoline prices* doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
Figure 3 from "Global health and climate benefits from walking and cycling infrastructure" by Adam Millard-Balla, Monisha Reginalda, Yasmina Yusufa, and Christopher Bian. The figure shows factors associated with distance travelled by cycling and walking, arranged in order of effect size. For cycling, the largest effects are gasoline prices, GDP per capita, rail service, steep terrain (negative effect), minimum temperature (negative effect), population density, and bicycle lanes. For walking, the largest effects are population density, gasoline prices, bicycle lanes, and maximum temp (negative effect).

Fig. 3 Caption: Factors influencing active travel. Each coefficient represents the impact of a one-SD change in each variable on the share of kilometers traveled by cycling (A) and walking (B). For each city-level variable such as density, the model estimates a separate coefficient for each country. The shaded area shows the distribution of country-level coefficients; for density, for example, the effect on walking ranges from about zero to ~0.11, excluding one outlier. For country-level variables such as gasoline prices, there is only a single coefficient. Variables are ordered by the size of their absolute effect in the median country—density and gasoline prices have the greatest impact on walking and gasoline prices and income (GDP per capita) on cycling. The minimum temperature variable shows the marginal effect of both the linear and squared terms.One might expect climate to have a major impact on active travel, and many studies highlight the impact of weather on daily and seasonal travel decisions (9, 25). However, in our model, there is a negligible association between precipitation and the mode shares of walking and cycling. Hotter temperatures decrease walking but have no effect on travel by bicycle. Colder temperatures only reduce walking and cycling in colder climates (SI Appendix for further Discussion). At the national level, gasoline price has the largest association with the share of travel by active modes. A one-SD increase in the price per liter (equivalent to US $0.40) is associated with a ~1.0 percentage point increase in walking and a ~0.5 percentage point increase in cycling—notable given that the mode share of cycling across the entire dataset is just ~0.9%. These findings echo a large volume of research that shows how vehicle travel declines in line with rising fuel prices (26). Gasoline prices also have an indirect effect in promoting denser, mixed-use development (27).

We have received new intelligence on AI██-BE (The Oni Gauntlet). Please read the attached documentation and make sure any new information is sent directly to the Panopticon Supervisor at the Federal Bureau of Control. #CONTROLResonant #Onimusha
Oni Gauntlet (AI ██ -BE)
CONTAINMENT PROCEDURE: 
None necessary. This item does not have any effect unless worn. 
DESCRIPTION/ALTERED EFFECT: 
An aged, golden Japanese gauntlet with a cloudy blue jewel. The item's base material may be extradimensional in nature, though further study is needed.
The following is a list of the item's altered effects on its wearers and surroundings:
•	Increased strength
•	Ability to perceive certain paranatural beings
•	It may be able to grant additional abilities after █████████ █████
•	Some agents report hearing a woman's voice speaking in Japanese when in the vicinity of the gauntlet.
Similar gauntlets have been mentioned in Japanese legends, but the pictured gauntlet is the only one confirmed to exist.
BACKGROUND:
The Bureau was first made aware of the Oni gauntlet after coming across legends of "insidious, dark" paranatural entities, locally termed "Genma," said to be active in ancient Japan. Historical accounts involve the notable samurai Miyamoto Musashi, documented as active in the Kyoto region of Japan during the 1600s. These sources also contained frequent mentions of Genma. He was said to wield supernatural powers after obtaining a strange gauntlet from ████████████████████ in his efforts to defeat the Genma. 
Though its existence was confirmed, the gauntlet's present location is unknown.
