One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Understanding the Homelessness Crisis (with data, of course) YouTube video by Ray Delahanty | CityNerd

The solution to homelessness is—wait for it—housing.

Batman slapping Robin for suggesting that bikes should follow the same rules as cars

Seems to be a lot of confusion on social media lately.

Y’all are out there doing a great job commenting and debating with 🚗 🧠.

Thanks and keep it up!

Love it, Kate. We have a variety of bikes, mostly non-electric. The ebike gets used mostly for hauling things like groceries, but I mostly commute on my road bike too. 😎🚴🏼

This! Ebikes are a far more effective way to make a more sustainable world than electric cars. Our family of FIVE drivers can get by just fine with just ONE car, in part, because we have an ebike with a large basket that essentially acts as our second car—and for a fraction of the price!

If only the “America is the best” crowd could truly understand this. I was raised that way, and it took me living in Europe for my 20s to fully realize how distorted that view is.

No notes.

The Misuses of the University - Public Books Have the funds that might have trained the next generation of scholars at the nation’s first research university have been blown on ostentatious new buildings?

This is a pretty fierce piece of writing: observing the strange overbuilding & underfunding, bandwagon-hopping, donation-seeking, corporate remaking of elite universities.

The case study here is Hopkins, but almost the same could be written about some others.

‘Growing epidemic’: Bay Area teen’s 40-mph crash reveals overlooked dangers of e-bikes Crashes on e-bikes and illegal “e-motos” are causing alarm across the Bay Area. “They think they’re buying an e-bike when they’re not.”

I think the media understands the difference between e-bikes and illegal e-motos. They are intentionally conflating the difference between legal e-bikes and illegal e-motos to stoke fear and get clicks.

It's could destroy the e-bike revolution if we don't find a way to stop it.

The natural color vs the crazy filter I accidently applied. #SantaCruz #Bikelife

So powerful! So important!

Seeing views like these are why I ride. #SantaCruz #Bikes

Absolutely perfect temps in #SantaCruz this afternoon.

New from #HistoryInFocus — More on the Doctoral Futures initiative, which aims to rethink graduate education in History and beyond. Plus, I recap my time at #AHA26; spoiler alert: it was mostly podcast-related sessions. 😀 🎙️

We must stop the purchasing of our elected representatives by big money seeking favors.

I recoil every time I see a truck (that is clearly not intended for work purposes). 🤢
