US DOT's new "Freedom to Drive Initiative" focuses on addressing congestion by:
—"Building new roadway capacity"
—"Recover[ing] roadway capacity from other purposes [e.g., biking & transit] to support driving"

[There is no evidence that either of these strategies work to address congestion.]

A few questions: why doesn’t it have hands? Why are its feet blocky but its face isn’t? Why does he need to be a cube rather than the cube be its prison like a genie or a Pokémon?

Good on them for being forward thinking on representation with both the cast and theme song. But not even Menudo could save the heap of a premise of a magical Rubik’s cube.

Fascinating what they tried to make work in the 80s.

I have a burner I forgot long about for the longest that follows no one and I log in private mode with a VPN.

Well here’s something interesting:

Someone put together a “warehouse fire tracker” to keep up on all the recent reports of major warehouse fires that have happened in the US. Do with this data what you will

The whole thing is very, very cute and funny.

"Mayor, what's the does 'flourish' mean?" bit is particularly funny. "It's means everything is going great...Like your thriving... yeah, not a great synonym."

This is fantastic for politics and policy.

I especially like that they both seem to just let children be who they are and lead them. Like they actually like being around kids. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVOG...

I don't think that's the right county.

I should drop a recommendation. Amber Smith. We've used her since our wedding. And then in a field of flowers about a year ago. Then a lamb photo shoot. Then this one. It's a thing. I don't fight it. I'd rather lean in. She does great work. www.instagram.com/ambersmithst...
