Recently started biking for real, and holy f-ck - the cars. I swear to absolute fucking God. The cars man. I've never in my 30+ year life seen so many stupid fucking idiots in traffic. Blind motherfuckers. They are making my blood boil. Today someone decided it was a great time to make a U-turn in the middle of the street. I kept distance but the car was jerking and was indecisive and just stopped forcing me to go right on the curb making me fall head over the handle bar and crash. Not a care in the world the driver just looked at me and drove off. Never in my life have I seen so many stupid people that can't drive. And I've had a drivers license for over 20 years soon.

A common thread among newer cyclists is realizing just how awful drivers are. There are things you simply don't notice — behavior that has been normalized — when you mostly drive. Biking, walking, or rolling through the world changes that.

#AmericaNeedsBikeLanes

The current administration is seeking to remove #bikelanes on federal land. This could have a chilling effect that trickles down to places like Kansas City. (1/3)

Hmm I wonder what happened in January of 2025 that changed funding for essential medical research so substantially.

We can do great things when you get smart people working on hard problems.

You get amazing stories like Artemis going to the moon, cancer-eradicating vaccines, and children being alive.

OR

You can have robber barons pillage and plunder the government.

This should not be a hard choice!

Nothing gets me angrier about the state of healthcare in America than when I’m fighting with private insurers to get concurrent care with hospice for my dying pediatric patients.

Hey Joan! I was just thinking about you this morning and your great knowledge of claims data. I have a pop health researcher with questions I cannot answer about PC data and I was thinking, "I bet Joan would know or know who to talk to."

I'll email you!

I used a bike rack this weekend that exists because I complained about it not existing.

You can make things better, even just a little.

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

A graph showing the rise in citations for our 2023 motonormativity paper, up to 101 in total today

Given the considerable lags in the academic publishing process, I'm surprised and gratified by how rapidly motonormativity is becoming a thing in the literature

Utah playing Vegas in NHL playoffs tonight and really not sure what 1992 teenage me learning about NHL and the Sharks would have made of that!

Jake Mangum spots kid in the crowd, tosses the ball, and her brother catches it and gives it to her. Dudes rock.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%

Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Went to the local breakfast place after Record Store Day and ran into two of my city council members!

It’s fun being involved with local politics. You get to know people and randomly run into each other!

Oh this needs to be featured by @coolbikeart1.bsky.social !

I can look for you!

Dozens of people in line around the corner from where the music store is. Blue skies above and some green grass on the side in front of a Mexican Restaurant.

Rode my e-bike to Brothers Music for Record Store Day!

Should have left earlier!!

Dory on the podium

Dory Selinger lost his leg in the early '90s after a driver hit him with a car. He went on to earn a gold medal in the 2020 Paralympics and was a three-time world champion.

A driver killed him on 4/16 while he was riding a bike.

More people need to be learning from Kylie Kilmer on how a Democratic candidate can run an authentic local campaign in red counties. She is a great communicator via social media.

That story needs to be a movie!

Great score!

Oh this looks fascinating!

Adding it to my podcast rotation!

Nice illustration of the reason why diagnosing information preferences is a really important step in both prognostic disclosure and decision making #palliativecare #shareddecisionmaking

I’d love better (reliable & frequent) public transit in the Kansas City metro but with every hour intervals and a long transfer that takes me 100 minutes to travel 9.3 miles I’d probably be more stressed.

I do occ bike commute but only 1.4mi of my commute has a bike lane. Stressful.

Public input can be a death sentence Putting a safety improvement up for a vote is dangerous when the voters have been conditioned to see traffic violence as inevitable.

Approximately 4,000 people die in CA every year because of car crashes, 25% of which are pedestrians & bicyclists. Prioritizing safety for all road users should be a no-brainer, and the convenience of drivers shouldn’t come before the wellbeing of others.
