I gave & chose 1 year access to NPR+, no too shabby! But seriously, @kosuradio.bsky.social has been great to work with. In addition to great local coverage, including the @focusblackoklahoma.bsky.social broadcast, they operate the Emergency Broadcast System which keeps many rural Oklahomans safe.
FBO, NPR, fans of quality news, TODAY donations to @kosuradio.bsky.social are MATCHED so one can DOUBLE one's impact! KOSU has been good to us & need all the help they can get since the defunding of NPR, PBS, & CPB. Please do consider giving. kosu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Mercer St, is what you get when you pretend that cars can scale in cities. You get a surface highway with high-tech signals that adapt as best as possible to the traffic.
But everyone still hates it, it belches pollution, divides communities, and is sketchy to cross on foot or bike.
