$100 Uber to the airport from Ballard, midday in no traffic. the most expensive rideshares in the country are in Seattle. I understand the need to pay drivers better, but it's a huge cost for those of us that mostly cycle, and the transit option is an extra hour or more.
Annoyed but also pleased with myself. After our cheap electric car (BMW i3) bricked over the weekend I was able to diagnose it to the 12v battery, order one delivered today and an OBD2 reader, install it and reset code. $200 total and an hour of work. Oh, we live on an island with one car.

I love that museum. Enjoy.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
I was so sad to hear about the death of a cyclist due to a hit-and-run on Beacon Ave. Allie was a beloved community member, avid biker, & advocate for safer transit & streets. My condolences to their family and friends. But condolences are hollow if we don’t take action to prevent the next tragedy.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

This should be seen as what it is: a huge step towards ending free and fair elections.
dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

I'm not sure what others saw out there today, but where I was GenZ was less than 1% of the crowds. In the rest of the world that generation is at the forefront of change, but I have not seen that in America. What's holding them back?

I walked out my door this morning and snapped this. And it shows. You win.
Yes, we need safer roads for 2 wheelers. As a long time motorcycle rider I have to point out that you are talking about roads. Motorcycles and roads. That's "micromobility" and most of the world does it. Class 3 "e-bikes" are just unlicenced motorcycles.
So.... food prices keep going up for Americans and the Chinese won't buy US soybeans because of the unnecessary trade war, and now our tax dollars (raised by tariffs) are going to bail out farmers who are growing food we don't eat? Also Argentina?!?!
300 school streets in 5 years.
It is possible to make rapid change.
Imagine if NPR had actually talked to safe streets advocates for this story and learned how the solutions to drivers killing people is not, in fact, victim blaming

How AI will be used is 1000 times more scary than what we are seeing with drones.
Danish police are now labeling the drone incident at Copenhagen Airport as “an attack.”
The UAVs were guided by a “capable operator” showcasing specific capabilities, approached from multiple directions, lights intermittently switching on and off before ultimately vanishing after several hours.
