“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”
I read all the studies on the economic impact of bike lanes. Here's what I learned.

i'm glad i rewatched this because i have a much better handle on why i was so obsessed with it as a teenager. besides the fact that it is very funny and a great send-up of heavy metal bands, it has the loose feel of a hang out. putting the movie on feels a bit like chilling with the bros.
watching the new criterion 4k of THIS IS SPINAL TAP. haven't seen this movie in a decade but I did watch it basically every week as a teenager and I still remember every single line

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

you can tell Leonardo DiCaprio is an amazing actor because he just gave us the most relatable “guy dealing with customer service” performance of all time, and you *know* that man has never spoken to customer service on the phone in his life

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
