Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit.
Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular.
So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

Cumulatively, the Doug Ford government’s approach to nature is both confusing and contradictory. It’s valuable until it’s in the way. Natural spaces for the sake of nature isn't their goal.

Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.
If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I'm writing a piece on extremism and the military and I have never run into so many people wanting to be off the record before. This plus thr fact that so many of us have been pushed to the margins is bad bad bad.
Every single journalist with expertise in extremism I know has been fired or their publication has folded.
Not a coincidence, of course. Grateful for their work, but unfortunately for almost all of us, this work will now have to be the side hustle.

Even a big far-right vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
