The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.

Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

New research finds that car touchscreens are so distracting that they induce "significant performance degradation" among drivers.

Meanwhile, in-vehicle touchscreens remain completely unregulated in the US.

As a daily cyclist and (class 1) e-bike rider, this piece is an excellent, balanced piece.

I also firmly believe anything with just a throttle, and no pedalling, needs to be classified as an e-moto and subject to (much) stricter regulation than bikes or class 1 e-bikes.
This New York Times piece on super-fast e-bikes and how dangerous they are is well done. It is nuanced, not hysterical and very much doesn't damn all e-bikes. But it does properly show how incredibly bad the illegal/unregulated throttle-driven ones are: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/m...

Real shame we can’t have passenger rights like the EU. Those have come in handy twice for me:
-once for storm delays in Philly (hotel + food)
-and another time they misplaced my bike bag in DFW so I missed my connection and got $800 credit.
Both happened because my trip started in the EU.

Oooooh that’s a new video for my bike planning course to go along with @pflax1.bsky.social’s interview with John
I'm a longtime fan of Not Just Bikes, but his 95(!) minute video on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling is truly his magnum opus.

If you are even remotely interested in the history of bicycling in America, it is worth a watch.

A tale as old as time
Lucy is really going to let Charlie Brown kick the football this time. She really means it.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

“If you get hit by a car travelling at 50km/h, you’ve only got a 1.5-in-10 chance of surviving. If it’s going 30km/h you’ve got a nine-in-10 chance.”

“But it was not enough to put up a sign that says 30km/h…there also needed to be design changes to slow down traffic.”

Speed is always a factor.
Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-10 chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it is a nine-in-10 chance

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan
