Gee, I guess having everything owned by like five companies is kind of a problem if you vote in a petty fascist for president. Hundreds of people work for both Colbert/Kimmel so really this is yet another attack on ordinary working people too. youtu.be/ZdGLJly6P7c?...

WATCH & SHARE: This is very good. A prominent youtuber is actually giddy (but also very thorough in covering the joys, advantages, issues and challenges) about how trying biking for transportation in London has changed his life.

Easy to watch & more convincing probably than 99% of public campaigns.

One way that cars kill us has exceeded another way that cars kill us.

Record wildfire smoke kills more people each year than car crashes. It’s about to get worse.

The past six summers have been the smokiest on record. New research shows that smoke could become the costliest consequence of climate change for Americans.
