Finally driving my first EV and can’t be the only middle aged dad now *obsessed* with regenerative braking and getting as many miles as humanly possible.

yeah so. Conjured is working to become an actual co-op, and that involves funding. VC and other such investment money is out of the question. That means the main option is the support of folks like you who believe in the vision and the possibility of having a real alternative system for creatives.

Just a small sample of the cargo bikes and other kid-carrying bikes at Brooklyn Bridge Park yesterday. Things are changing fast. Cities need to catch up.

You certainly can outsource many things (if you have the money) and this frees up time.
But not all of it, because you still manage it and think about it and etc..
Only saying “no” completely, wins you ALL the time.

Sing it from the rooftops: congestion pricing in NYC is an unambiguous triumph. It is succeeding beyond its backers wildest aspirations & none of the second-order effects people worried about have come to pass.
It's a pure win. Celebrate it! Talk about it! For once, let's own the f'ing narrative.

Here Is Everything That Has Changed Since Congestion Pricing Started in New York
Fewer cars. Faster travel. Less honking. And some questions we still can’t answer.

I've been working in utility-scale batteries for a few years now and I've gotta say, it's pretty exciting to be on the front lines of transforming the electric grid 😎
🔌💡
🔌💡
‘2011…world’s largest lithium battery - 32 MW / 8 MWh…built by AES…first project in 2008 was ~$3,000/kWh for price of batteries alone, now $150-200/kWh for full install…Total global battery manufacturing capacity projected at 7,900 GWh in 2025’
Grid-Scale Battery Storage Is Quietly Revolutionizing the Energy System
This energy storage technology is harnessing the potential of solar and wind power—and its deployment is growing exponentially.

Farms can install vertical solar panels without reducing crop yields
Adding rows of upright panels on farmland generates green power in the morning and evening while acting as a windbreak for crops

“Looking at dollars and cents, highways are a poor economic investment. They occupy nearly 25% of U.S. urban land — an area equivalent to West Virginia and valued at $4.1 trillion — yet their supposed benefits don’t justify these enormous costs.” Via @fastcompany.com
The real cost is a LOT higher.

It's time to start removing highways. For real this time
Removing highways can breath new life into cities—so why are cities so slow to actually do it?

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

I liked new.phoenixframework.org so much I figured we should use igniter to make it work for *any* #ElixirLang package out there 😉 Create one-line installers for your library or framework, or even just reusable project starters for yourself. Igniter installers run for all packages that have them 😎

Libraries feel like something about which we could very easily be saying, “Remember that place where you could borrow books, for FREE, and return them when you were finished?” And kids would say “What?? No way!” And yet there they still are, despite everything we’ve become, existing. Remarkable.
