Can we pls swap this for a federal e-bike/e-cargo bike rebate

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

A damn shame but respect to Ben for walking the walk

If local governments want to provide relief from high gas prices RIGHT NOW:

1. Quick build bike and scooter lanes that are languishing as plans. Call it temporary, just cut the process theatre and make it happen. Get staff to scope more.

2. Flex general funding to run more transit service.

The bikes-for-transportation community is absolutely charging their cameras to capture video riding past the forthcoming gas station lines.

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

I'm aware, but the complainers are not! They're wrong in numerous ways!

Construction Contracts Awarded for ICE Detention Facilities in Maryland and Arizona The federal government awarded renovation contracts Sunday for two warehouses — in Maryland and Arizona — as the government races to expand its detention network.

The federal government awarded contracts Sunday to renovate two warehouses, each designed to hold 1,500 people, into immigration detention and processing facilities in Maryland and Arizona, according to contract records. The Maryland facility is scheduled for completion by May.

This isn't really timely any more but I didn't ever want to hear anyone complain that the Obama Iran deal "sent them pallets of cash" when we're blowing up $1B per day

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

The Trump administration took your money illegally.

They won’t give it back.

Good thing we've spent the past several years becoming less reliant on oil through investments in wind, solar, and storage without cancelling any nearly completed energy projects...

Of all the ways that current events suck, this one is new and surprising to me.

So uh, you're welcome.

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Iran has choked off 90% of the world's chili reserves by closing the Straights of Hormel

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.

It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

These authors reviewed 73 previous studies examining car touchscreens.

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

The Greendale Community College flag walked so that AI company logos could run.

@elfreth.house.gov please grill Elbridge Colby this week on what a grossly unconstitutional and strategically ridiculous move it was to attack Iran. The support activities at the Applied Physics Lab in your district I'm sure would rather be helping the Navy with more sensible tasking.

Meme: The Duolingo owl and the Hooters owl are brothers. One chose the path of knowledge. The other, the path of jumbo bazoingas, short shorts and chicken wings. An unbridgeable schism. A tale as old as time. The response: Their father, the Tootsie Roll Own, is equally proud of both and just wishes he could have his family back.

I think the truly damning thing about the Dem comms response is that they had months to prepare for today and there's zero coordination, no unified message. Just every D leader responding like they quickly hammered out a statement in a panic at 6 am this morning
