Get to know this word, folks. Vitally important and one you’ll hear (and should hear) more frequently.
micromobility is one of the most potentially transformative and exciting sectors in mobility tech, but it also faces some of the toughest paths to economic viability
NEW: Rad Power Bikes has told employees it will go out of business in January without new funding.
The company said in a staff email that it had a "very promising" option to stay alive, but whatever that was, it fell apart.

A pro-ICE sheriff in a purple Philly suburban county got the boot as well.
Feel like law enforcement races are the ones least likely to flip to Dems, but last night even those did.
And a pro-ICE sheriff lost in a county that is 80% white. So this wasn’t just the cratering of Hispanic GOP support.

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.
If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

I’ve written messaging for judges and shot campaign photos for local candidates. By my count, every school board candidate I photographed this round won last night. Small stuff, but it’s how I stay involved.

I believe I have said this before, but @rstephens.me is a higher order human. Not only is she intellectually brilliant, but she is also a compassionate and caring person.

As Akamai's COO, Adam Karon, puts it: "Bigger isn’t better. Not any more. AI is breaking the decades-old cloud model as companies run up against rising inference costs and latency issues. Focus is shifting from power to proximity, from megawatts to milliseconds."

That said, "In five years, hyperscale data-centers will still have their place in AI, but I'll take Jensen's bit; I think distributed AI will be a billion times larger, across edge devices, on-premises systems, and specialized hardware."
They will, because they're incredibly useful applications.

Early in my career, I worked at an agency that did PR for a university speaker series. I met Bush Sr. and heard Colin Powell speak. I also met Cheney. It felt like meeting Satan in human flesh.

9% of my neighbors and 16% of my county's children face daily food insecurity. And this year, the pangs of hunger are even more dire (and the reasons inexcusable). The Bucks County Housing Group’s food pantry are a safety net. (1/3)

It’s been ~20 years now that I’ve dressed up like Charlie Brown for Halloween. It made a friend’s son happy. So I just kinda stuck with it as everyone got older. It’s a good reminder to not take myself too seriously and always take an opportunity to try to make someone else’s day a bit happier.
