I’m a big fan of @us.theconversation.com but not a fan of the @davidyamane.bsky.social piece on guns they published today. I’m no sniper but I bet we can shoot some holes in this article.

ALL ROAD USERS.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Overheard at Greentech Festival 2024: the #LosAngeles2028 #Olympics will be car-free (and parking-free) because of national security and not lofty climate action.

This morning I burned the pancakes, sprayed myself in the face with coconut oil, and set off the smoke detector to the soundtrack of a toddler apparently being murdered by a NoseFrida.
If this were a scene from the Mr. Mom script, there would have been rewrites to make it believable.
