Fun Fact the slightly distorted vox on the first Strokes EP was inspired by producer Gordon Raphael listening to Skinny Puppy (one of his fave bands) and loved the heavy distortion on the keys and vox "like weapons" So applied that concept but scaled back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY2a...

Incredible how "would be great if kids could walk/bike to school independently" somehow turns into a discussion about needing a car to move furniture.

Looking forward to this conference in a few weeks with a keynote where I will push my evil agenda of not wanting to go far for a pint.

The mobility of children is simply not taken seriously or viewed as important. Something illustrative is how people will often say that kids "don't count" when you remind them that children and young teens are nondrivers who deserve the right to get around without cars.

This morning a driver crashed onto the sidewalk exactly where my kids walk past on the way to school. This happened shortly before they came along. I have asked my local @brumgreens.bsky.social councillor to demand that this road be closed to cars until the current road works are complete.
A car crashed onto the pavement where pedestrians, including my children, pass every day.

“Our rescue crews come back and tell us that the people that work there say that they can’t call in sick, or they’ll risk being fired ... So they come to work sick and then call us, and the rescue has to go pick them up.”
