I just entered my age as '40' on a form for the first time.

Not sure how feel.

President Joe Biden’s Threads account @potus is federating on the Fediverse!

And I’m following him from atomicpoet.org!

Wow! This is as monumental as Barack Obama joining Twitter! A truly historic day for the !

@atomicpoet @potus @fediversenews fabulous, I can liberate myself from @potus

... which makes me think: @vincent I wonder if you could inject 'now verified in fediverse at...' posts? 🤔

New episode!

"The Texas Freeway Fight with Megan Kimble."

In her new book, Kimble tells the stories of the communities in the path of TxDOT’s bulldozers and the brave Texans fighting to save their homes, neighborhoods, and cities from a seemingly implacable foe.

@TheWarOnCars just to be sure: you don't have transcripts anywhere, do you?

I vaguely remember talk of a budget hearing for billions where it was a billion per person who spoke up. Was that in this ep? 🤔

Are you on Mastodon or the Fediverse? (well, duh? 🙂)

Are you Canadian?

Would it be great if the Canadian Parliament had its own Fediverse Server for Parliamentarians and officials to use instead of Corporate Social Media?

If you answered yes to these questions then you should sign and share this House of Commons Petition e-4769!

If not, hey, you can still share (and maybe sign!) :=)

@chris Good luck to you, I've been begging to do this for the USA's national weather service.

Nothing but "passed it onto the relevant team" so far 😞

Good news: President Biden’s Chips and Science Act is transforming Maricopa County, AZ into one of the world’s most important manufacturing sites for the tiny components that power all modern electronics.

The CHIPS Act must be awesome because so many Republicans who voted against it are now taking credit for it. #BidenHarris2020

@TonyStark @cmdrmoto @GottaLaff it's wild living here in Phoenix.
On the one hand it seems like we should be worrying, but then I look around and it's all golf courses and flushing clean 😵‍💫drinking water down that toilet

Hmm, that seems like a bit of a glitch--remind me to never wear a t-shirt of a pickup truck being towed down the street: "Waymo recalls and updates robotaxi software after two cars crashed into the same towed truck" https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/13/waymo-recall-crash-software-self-driving-cars/?guccounter=1 #robot #cars #Waymo

Transit fares are a tax on transit usage

@bryanculbertson this could be a fun game:

Parking minimums are a subsidy on car usage.

I've tried to argue this before (poorly).
It's refreshing to find a video that hits the key points succinctly. Well done!

Only in America can you experience the thrill of a bike lane ending with you on a highway on-ramp 🤡

Video of me riding a bike lane, then a "bike lane ends" sign, then I am at a stop sign with cross traffic speeding up to on-ramp, and a tunnel under the highway

@LoneLocust yep. I usually take the bridge at Oak St then head north, but I figured I'd see what happened if I rode north there 🥺

Got to ride Amtrak again for the first time in forever. I miss trains, I miss trains so much.
You just get on, chill out, and get off.
Amazing.

So sad: a post in the Phoenix Reddit: "Why is it so hard to make friends here? "

Nearly 500 comments, all people saying the same thing, and no one realizes the city is mostly designed for that isolation.

For most no third spaces, no spontaneous encounters, no human spaces. Just a life of freeways, drive thrus, and parking garages 😞

Edit (check my profile for more up-to-date info)

If you are still a CuriosityStream subscriber, be aware that they are currently mass-emailing subscribers with what I think is a VERY deceptive "offer". They push users to renew 2yr subs, promising continued Nebula access for bundle subscribers. In reality, Nebula access for CS subscribers expires on Dec 31st. This means you'll have <2 months of Nebula out of your "locked in" 2 year contract. All their communication seems to imply the opposite.

@Techaltar whoa, thanks, first I'm hearing about this.
Timing with YouTube price hikes is certainly interesting.

NEW EPISODE!

In "Dark PR: How Corporate Disinformation Harms Our Health and the Environment," Grant Ennis identifies "nine devious frames" industries such as car manufacturers use to maintain a status quo that harms human health and the planet.

Listen: https://thewaroncars.org/2023/10/24/113-dark-pr-with-grant-ennis/

@TheWarOnCars wonderful episode, two questions:

  1. Is Grant in the fediverse?
  2. Is there a link to that horrible victim blaming "obey the rules" video which was mentioned?
