I had long heard that CAFE Standards were partially responsible for the increase in vehicle size in the US. Given that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has set the cost of violating CAFE to $0.00, will vehicle sizes decrease? manifold.markets/Emeline/us-a...

Do you have photos of you using your bicycles or (other) mobility devices that you could share here?
I am looking for more reference pictures to practice drawing people in action on the street!
Thanks so much!

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship.

What's Up With That: Building Bigger Roads Actually Makes Traffic Worse

My recommendation for today is for library cards!
If you are in the US, even if you don't read much, I highly recommend signing up for your local library!
Many libraries include access to Hoopla, which is an app that ebooks, audiobooks, music, TV shows, and movies which you can borrow for free!

Stacked duplexes are a great housing element. I put provisions in our zoning code to allow this use within our traditional neighborhoods.

A meditative state is a state of mind where your body and mind are relaxed, your awareness is heightened, and you are fully absorbed in the present moment. It's characterized by being calm and deliberate, while still focused on a single thought or activity. #BikeBus

incredible that I can hit my daily word goal in 30-60m if I need to, but if I have the time it can stretch out to hours and hours... perhaps relevant how much of that time Scrivener is open in the background and Bluesky is in the foreground... 🤔

Highly recommend *for no laid course prepare* by Iarwain and Swimmer963, it was my introduction to prediction markets, but outside of that it's a funny internet story about a sci-fi nurse trying to save a patient.
