My grad-level 'Communicating Climate Change' course started with a "Using AI to Communicate Climate Change" exercise.
I am currently fighting with the university because how the hell am I supposed to trust the content after that?!
If there is any truth to this, we should be scared shitless. Impeach and remove!

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
Are environmental reviews really a problem?
Well, folks, consider: a Sam's Club on north Aurora (near where I live) closed several years ago. Been sitting vacant, attracting ... the stuff vacant buildings attract. There's a proposal to open a low-cost grocery there. Much needed! However ...
Finally, a politician who understands my generation
This is supply and demand proving that we want more trains!
If we increase the supply of trains (maybe by nationalizing the track) there will be more seats to sell at lower prices!
Yeah, it's an even better deal when you can charge at off-peak rates. Nowhere else can you fast charge at those prices.
Also SCL has *by far* the best charging rates. $0.42/kWh for DC fast charging vs $0.66 and up for the next-cheapest chargers.
And nobody outside Seattle knows how to price level 2 chargers either! I'm looking at you, Olympia, with your $0.42 slow chargers plus session fees!
You caught it on a good day! Those cables get cut off *all the time.* I wish we would take copper theft seriously, cuz it can be months before SCL replaces them.
No, I'm not sure how useful it would be. It takes 7 hrs to charge my bike battery, I sure as hell wouldn't want to leave it outside for that long.
I've thought about some kind of J1772 system for ebikes, but the added bulk of an AC-DC converter would probably not be useful to enough people.
These photos of the West Seattle Bridge under construction are insane
I can't help but be concerned this is a backhanded effort to slow Vision Zero.
It's more an issue of political will to implement Vision Zero than misuse of resources. An audit will likely magnify this, while diverting resources from making our streets safer.
We can design roads to compensate for bad drivers. People are naturally inclined to slow down when lanes are narrower, for example.
The problem has been a lack of political will to make streets safer. Drivers get upset at virtually any safety improvement. 🙄
The "Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" piece was pretty bad, whitewashing the horribly racist beliefs Kirk argued for.
Alaska junction in west Seattle in 1978
Dang the Junction really was (still sorta is) a car sewer
This is "Tiny Point" a popular picnic and paddling location. It's lucky no was hurt. Here's the same location (from the other perspective, notice the evergreen tree) on Google Street View last summer.
Your regular reminder that Lake Washington Boulevard IS A PARK. Why do we treat it as a speedway?
Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

Finally riding the 2 across the water for the first time!

ugh seattle is gorgeous 💓
Pretty much, yeah
Heat pumps are absurdly efficient, here's a lengthy video explaining how.
Unfucking believable. I'm sorry, but the rubber crumb turf isn't the problem. Neither is stop&go traffic. Get to the root. There's 100 fucking reasons everyone needs to drive less and also we need to invest in more transit and other alternatives. FFS. I'm so tired of fucking around on the edges.
I'm concerned that it won't make it into the bill, as we have yet to pass presumed liability for human drivers!
You don’t say?
“You know what’s a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon. Allowing a sick country with demented leadership to have a nuclear weapon. That’s a war crime.”

We shouldn't have standards this low. We need presumed liability, and there has to be accountability for autonomous vehicles too.
We can't give AV companies a free pass to murder people with their cars.
Who gets held accountable when these things cause an accident?
Less Favorable Considerations: • Inclusion of infrastructure reducing level of service for vehicles or reducing access for emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles, and vehicles serving the disabled; • Inclusion of automated traffic enforcement, except in work zones, school zones, or cameras affixed to school buses; and • Inclusion of new dedicated bicycle lanes that reduce vehicular capacity or impair movements.
Federal Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grants now penalize applications that include bike lanes, lane reduction, traffic calming, and speed cameras.
