Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

“[Talarico] showed up in GOP strongholds he was unlikely to win in a general election but where Democrats told me they had not seen a candidate show up in ages.”
“Look, I know it’s your guys’ job to ask, but my answer is the same as always: Jayson won’t be back on the floor until he scores at least an eight on the Mazzulla Logic Meridian, and he’s just not there yet,” a visibly annoyed Mazzulla told reporters
New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.
When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?
Looks like Democrats are out-voting Republicans in both the TX and NC Senate primaries
“After analyzing crash data over a 13-year period in areas with separated bike lanes on city streets, researchers estimated that having a protected bike facility in a city would result in 44% fewer deaths and 50% fewer serous injuries than an average city.”
Safer for ALL.

WH: Definitely not a war
Trump: War, what a war this is, war war war, lovely war, how do you like my war
Same. I would have guessed dairy, because Wisconsin, right?
It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.
Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it
Mullin is talking about 124 year old corpse.
He’s wagging the dogs, he’s wagging the cats.
The people leading the U.S. war on Iran are a former “Fox & Friends” guest and a former “Fox & Friends” host.
I fear a coming wave of antisemitism. Israel, Kushner, Witkoff (perhaps Miller) can all be portrayed by the neo-Nazi movement "the Jews manipulated Trump into this." Especially if this war goes terribly wrong.
More like Bored of Peace, amirite folks
This is Trump's former AI adviser
Hindus and Jews are much more likely to have a four-year college degree than Americans in other religious groups, according to Pew Research Center’s 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study (RLS). Seven-in-ten Hindus and 65% of Jews have a bachelor’s degree or more education. That compares with 35% of U.S. adults overall. On the other end of the spectrum, lower shares of evangelical Protestants (29%) and members of historically Black Protestant denominations (24%) hold college degrees. The shares of college graduates for several other religious groups range from 35% to 45%.

“It’s Time for the Media to Press Trump on Allegations of Abusing a Minor”
My latest for @washingtonmonthly.com

A genuine punchline!
Breaking news: A federal judge found that the IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.
This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

Breaking WaPo:
Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.
I saw an amazon one of these in the Battery in NYC last week. Very cool!
