Shout out to my new induction stove which immediately recognized that I'd turned the wrong burner on at full blast and shut it down rather than burning down the house #electrifyeverything

now do cars
E-bikes are a growing danger on U.S. streets. In one California town, a 15-year-old's shocking crash was the "light switch" moment that led officials to respond. nyti.ms/4pKAJcp

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

When I teach students organizing I teach them that every tactic must both 1) move you closer to your goal, and 2) build up your organization for the long term. Dem senators are doing neither.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

AWS having issues means my work phone and my task list app are down. I have never been so free.

I was so excited to be able to easily haul a 7x9 rug home on my small cargo bike last weekend that I forgot to take a picture for @americanfietser.bsky.social 😮‍💨
I want to make a personal request to those of you who use a bike for transportation purposes to start taking more photos and posting them.

You can do so much by showing even the most mundane errands with a bike to educate and inspire others. They're often more effective than words. 📸

though it would be hilarious for me to invite like a conservative think tanker, so they can see how little universities pay people for talks

Cargo bike friends! I'm moving to a building with good bike storage, but I'll be upstairs and across the building from said storage. Is there any pannier bag with features of a rolling suitcase, ie wheels and a pop-up handle when needed? Cc: @americanfietser.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Nothing makes you realize you actually did have an impact on your graduating students more than starting over with a new group of students
