Our planetary boundaries are being breached by cars and cows It may be a simplistic view, but it seems that almost every critical process is affected by them.

Cars and cows converge in the cornfields, consuming 75% of the entire crop. They dominate almost every planetary boundary. lloydalter.substack.com/p/our-planet...

I put a bag of dog treats in the fridge so I can always give the little guy a treat when he follows me to the fridge. His excitement when I give him something from the people food container brings me joy.

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

The Advocate.

Today reinforces my ban on gambling, I would’ve put everything on Pog and Marianne in the sprint and would be penniless.

💯

Can’t wait for next year!

What a race, Pog denied again

Wow

Tailor Bird sews leaves together with plant fibre to form its nest!

There are 2 bollards in this picture, put them on every street in the USA and this madness will end. Also the urinals at this place are legendary.

The next administration must take the lesson of this one; every single immigration judge hired under Trump 2.0 must be fired on day one.

Dutch bike infrastructure, in the form of wide, multiuse paths, is used by countless disabled people every day.

They use the same paths as bicyclists, and are safer than on our broken American sidewalks.

AOC: This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

Not one word of this is hyperbole.

Let’s figure out a plan to save HCMC and put all of our hospitals on steadier footing.

The latest funding blow - $170 million per year cut by Trump via HR1 - will push HCMC over the edge. We must be the grown ups in the room and craft a plan to keep HCMC open.

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

A used bike from a cycle shop can cost less than a tank of fuel, but will last for years and thousands of miles with minimal maintenance.

REMINDER: This is not an ENERGY crisis but a FOSSIL FUEL dependency crisis.

Modern energy systems based on renewables are absolutely possible. Don’t let oil execs and autocrats tell you otherwise.

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets Under outgoing mayor Anne Hidalgo, the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

Consider the infrastructure v enforcement debate settled.

Car culture is a problem of public space. There is no policing your way to results as impressive as this.

No, I’m sorry, you don’t get to pull the “liberals don’t care about ICE” card after what just happened in Minneapolis. Nope.

Nations that should be immediately banned from all international sports:

1) Russia
2) Israel
3) (sigh) The USA

This got a cheer that might end up being the loudest of the season at Target Field.
