David Byrne - Slippery People - Live at Coachella 2026 YouTube video by Coachella

#DavidByrne came to California.
He's 73.
How can he still be fit and bendy?
He gets around via #bicycle

Yes!! Keep on #NamingAndFaming examples like him!!

I’d like to see a Buttigieg AOC ticket in 2028. Either one will excel as President. I know it won’t happen. I’m not an idiot. I’d just like to see smart, energetic liberals in charge of our country.

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.

I have more to say about our cargo bike test ride event but one thing for sure is that a bike/e-bike/cargo bike subsidy program here would be VERY popular

"This pattern described in the Transportation Alternatives research aligns with broader international findings: cycling participation increases when infrastructure is safe, continuous, and predictable—and decreases when it is fragmented."

Oooh - thx for this nudge, David.

If the price of gas is so important that it makes constant news, maybe we need to reconsider how we designed our society and cities. Maybe, just maybe, there's something wrong with a system that's so reliant on this one thing

@asrao.bsky.social You are a great interviewer! I aspire to reach your expertise one day with Name & Fame. And - Rebecca needed someone to do exactly that to spread the word about her work. Thank you.

How about listening to Rebecca Auman’s Voices In The River podcast, too? Some really interesting mythological and historical stuff.

What will AI do to the baby boomers? I have been playing with Claude. I worry that it is seductive and powerful and will make phone addiction look quaint.

Wise human @lloydalter.bsky.social takes on a big question (of what #AI will do to people who are in the retirement phase of life). WORTH a read and his newsletter is worth subscribing to on all fronts.

Mamdani hasn't had time to really think about all that space he now has, because he spends most of his time at City Hall and around New York City. He tries to keep a semblance of his old life by getting around the city on foot, by bike or train. "If you spend every single day driving around in a tinted window security detail, you will have a very specific view of the city," he said. "You actually meet other New Yorkers and you break out of the bubble that so many have come to expect of politics, where politicians only seem to be spending time with other politicians or the people who donated to make them politicians."

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example.

Yes.

Announcing ‘A Burning House, A Quiet Media, A Silenced Majority’ — Covering Climate Now Covering Climate Now was launched in 2019 with the express intent of breaking the “climate silence” that prevailed in most news media. And for a few important years, that silence was broken. Now, much...

Bad news - in 2015 when the Paris Agreement was signed, the world was following a trajectory to 4-5C by 2100. I'd add a link to my NCA chapter where we did this analysis, but the admin has taken it offline.

Good news - today, we're headed to 2.7C by 2100. Still too high: but a lot better than 4-5C.
