Football ("soccer"), running, cycling, urbanism, dadjokes, politics. Hopeful nonprofit wordslinger, occasional scribe for hire.
My last four days:
* Friday, 20 miles at Critical Mass on the gravel bike
* Saturday, 41 miles to/from Stone Mtn. with a roadie group
* Sunday, 12 miles, two mountain-bike loops at Ft. Yargo State Park
* Today, 8.5 early-a.m. miles running errands on the e-bike.
My legs are sore! But I'm happy.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets.

An all-timer today in the "don't be nice, be predictable" sweepstakes when interacting with drivers on the road as a cyclist. So I'm waiting for a break in traffic in order to pedal out from my driveway, and a car stops dead in the road. I stare at it, trying to determine intent.

Yet another cool milestone on my ebike. Roughly 95% of these miles (over the last 15 months) directly replace car trips.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

The regime is clearing out everyone in the military who's not a loyalist in preparation for martial law. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has fired U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, who served as the U.S. military representative to the NATO Military Committee, the Pentagon confirmed to Axios.

I was going to get the train today. But I am increasingly concerned at the deficit I’m running with Great Northern Rail. I buy a lot from them and they purchase nothing from me.
Tempted to apply a 20% tariff. Sure my tickets will cost 20% more but it might mean I buy fewer and reduce the deficit.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

This is why we can't have nice things, and why @thewaroncars.bsky.social is becoming less of a tongue-in-cheek title with each passing day. So GA DOT literally installed this RRFB (on-demand pedestrian crossing signal) two weeks ago.

We currently have... *checks notes*... ONE of these projects under construction. So we gave MARTA a pile of extra money for basically nothing.

Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity.
He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud.
Which of course is fucking crazy.
