Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand.
If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.
If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.
Spread the word.

The public library is one of humanity's greatest inventions and I am convinced that frequenting them is good for the soul of a citizen. A public realm where goods are exchanged with no money trading hands is spiritually cleansing.

You can be the safest, most attentive driver in the world and still pose a massive risk to other road users. That’s because cars and car dependency are inherently dangerous.
This doesn’t mean you’re a bad person if you drive, but I do think that drivers should acknowledge their role in this system.

Best I can tell from available play by play data, there has never been another game in recorded NL/AL history in which…
A pitcher lost a no-hitter on a HR with 2 outs in the 9th and then …
His team lost the game.

How’s this for Orioles Magic?
Jackson Holliday’s HR was the 4th time in the expansion era (1961) that the Orioles broke up a no-hit bid of 8 2/3 IP or more (@EliasSports)
The 1st of those 4? 6/7/68, on a hit by Davey Johnson, who passed away today
What a way to honor him 🫶

I’m not against cars. I own one.
But we need to make it much, much easier, pleasant, and safer to walk, bike, or take transit than it is to drive somewhere by myself in an empty car.
And there’s no way to do that without making some drivers angry.
Thankfully, more and more drivers understand.
