4. If you’ve never ridden a bike for transportation (as opposed to recreation)—and especially if you oppose safe bike lanes—spend a week riding a bike to work and other places you’d normally drive to. On one of those days, take your kids with you. Think about how you felt on every part of the trip.

One of the most frustrating things about Elon Musk’s impact on the world is that there hasn’t been a single time when I’ve heard him speak, on literally anything, that I haven’t considered him seriously unimpressive.

This is Mr. Squeakers. He's 20 years old & has cancer. I don't know how much longer he'll be around. He's smart, dignified, wise, & very handsome obviously. He's been the goodest boy for a very long time. I love the living with them part. I don't love the losing them part, but the love is worth it.

Both recognize a problem and the harms it causes, but are designed without the will or imagination required to implement a real solution.
