I kind of had a soft launch of my #TidyTuesday site last week, and I'd taken a stab at the one before that—but this is the first time I'm happy with what I ended up with. Powered by @evidence.dev and @duckdb.org. #DataBS

I got tired of sending my coworkers to spammy-looking “What is my IP address?” websites so I could add them to network policy allow lists. So I threw together a static web page with no cruft and a single JS API call. #databs ipminimalist.com

When this year’s high school freshman graduate in 2028, Donald Trump will have been either a candidate for president or serving as president since they were 5-years old.

An entire generation will have grown up watching this ridiculous insanity, and it will all seem completely normal.

We’ve really enjoyed 6 years of car-free life in Türkiye but are seriously discussing if or how we could maintain that if we move back to the US this year with two kids under 5.
Young Americans may not *want* to own a car, but most will have to drive b/c cars are usually the only option when you have a job and kids.

This is what happens when a country has decades of car-centric development. It's the very opposite of freedom.
Nearly half of young Americans don’t want to own a car
A new survey from Deloitte found that nearly half of young Americans surveyed would give up driving in favor of alternative transportation options.

It would go a long way in addressing the climate crisis, the affordability crisis, the public health crisis, & the equity crisis.

It would improve traffic, save lives, reduce pollution & noise, improve livability & save public money.

Never let anyone tell you the solutions we need are too complex.
I think we can change the world by having protected bike lanes and secure bike parking everywhere.

You don’t have to be a “cyclist” to support safe bike infrastructure in your city. You don’t have to ride bikes at all. You just have to understand the FACT that bike infrastructure makes getting around easier & safer for EVERYONE, saves us all public money, & makes cities generally more successful.
