Psst. We’re working on getting recognition for Mineral Cup & need some help.

If we can pull it off, it’s warm-fuzzies for our volunteers, but it also opens doors for having the resources to do some neat things for the 10th Mineral Cup (how is that on the horizon??)

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Welcome to the United States, where car dependency means spending increasing amounts of money to fill your car with gas so you can get to the job that provides your health insurance

gas too expensive because some moron decided to start a war with Iran? rather than tax breaks at the pumps, let's reduce consumption with free transit, subsidies on e-bikes, tax breaks on bike purchases and supplies, investment in cycling infrastructure...

Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

The Largest Physician Organization In The US Reaffirms Gender-Affirming Care Is Medically Necessary The American Medical Association is setting the record straight on trans people’s health care—expressing its full support of keeping decisions in the hands of doctors, patients, and their families.

1. The largest medical organization in the United States, the American Medical Association, has reaffirmed that gender affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary.

It disavowed the New York Times reporting.

Incredible development for trans youth.

While overall crime continues to trend down, traffic fatalities more than tripled year-over-year up to Q3 2025.

Remember this come the October municipal election when certain predictable narratives about crime start emerging.

A little preview of what we saw yesterday at the auto show. While sadly no one would speak with us on camera, we had some great conversations about road and vehicle safety. Excited to share more soon.

Things are apocalyptic for science in the US. It might not seem that way to everyone because many academic scientists have tenure and get to keep their jobs (for now), and most grants last three years, so many scientists still have funding. But it's going to get way worse.

Bar chart titled "Matters of Scale" comparing proposed US research budget cuts to the European Union's €500-million (US$571-million) "Choose Europe" fund. The chart shows:

* National Institutes of Health (NIH): $8 billion in cancelled grants and $18 billion in proposed cuts by 2026 (long orange bar).
* National Science Foundation (NSF): $5.1 billion in proposed cuts by 2026 (shorter orange bar).
* EU's Choose Europe fund: $571 million (very short blue bar).

The graphic highlights that the EU fund is much smaller in scale compared to the US budget cuts. Text above the chart explains the EU’s intention to attract US researchers in response to policy decisions by the convicted felon and rapist Donald Trump.

If people think American scientists are somehow going to land in Europe, I've got news for you about the difference between millions and billions.

It's hard to explain how dire the situation is, and it doesn't feel like a lot of people are hearing it.

And it won't be bad just in the US, it will have ripple effects (tsunami waves more appropriate) everywhere.

The problem seems to go a bit beyond that. There are no clear distinctions in the industry
