I am definitely done recommending @radpowerbikes.bsky.social.

When we first got our bike, it was great. But they farmed out their customer support, rendering it useless. We got a new battery and it charges 1/5 of the time, plus the new design won't light up when it is charging so you never know.

Glad to see MD has achieved the 30x30 goals ahead of schedule. Now we need to get cracking on the CSNA goals.

@scifri.bsky.social, I loved the story about the cicada song. After the 2003 brood I was inspired similarly to use a pitchshifter to make a song from cicada recording, no cyborgs though.

I wanted to invite folks to a meet and greet on 4/26 at 3:00pm.

I have stopped by nearly every house and many of the apartments, but missed some people in Ward 2. So I wanted to make sure there was a chance to come meet me too.

It will be at 4010 30th St. There will be light refreshments.

We know things aren’t going well, but remember you can still make a difference at the grass roots level. For inspiration you can read how school districts around the US are leading on #ClimateAction! Maybe you can lead in your schools too?

1. Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills.

But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions in the White House.

I think MDGA has a bill this session to do this in Maryland. Lord do I not understand why I have to pay Pepco money so they can lobby for higher bills for me to pay.

I loved the episode you did on the orange blanket ballot @jodyavirgan.com, @pastpunditry.bsky.social, & @kcarterjackson.bsky.social. I hope you do more episodes on esoteric state history. I’ve been reading about MD history and I’m amazed about the weird stuff we did and we’re the most normal state.
