A high speed train
What car has the perfect combination for a cross-country adventure

A high speed train
I predict this number would be much higher if the fremont bridge gave 1 or 2 lanes of its 4 lanes for auto traffic to pedestrians/bikes
For the first time since the pandemic, Fremont Bridge bike trips topped 1 million in 2025 and are on pace for a new record

For the first time since the pandemic, Fremont Bridge bike trips topped 1 million in 2025 and are on pace for a new record
People took more than one million bike and scooter trips across the Fremont Bridge in 2025, the first calendar year to top the million mark since the COVID pandemic. But perhaps even more interesting is that 2026 is off the best start ever, recording more trips in January through March than any other year including the outlier high water mark set in 2019. The Fremont Bridge is a key pinch point for several cross-city bike routes, which is why it is probably the city's best location for sampling biking trends. There are few other places in the city where riders are funneled across a single counting point.

It's just too weird to me that the only people completely out of touch on this issue are the people with the power to actually fix it. Just pedestrianize it already and accept the inevitable positive press it will precipitate
✅ Pedestrian Pike Place is extremely popular.
✅ Foot traffic and revenue are up.
✅ It's still a working market.
👎 Haters gonna hate.

Friends of the Market is warning of "special interest groups" trying to pedestrianize Pike Place.

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia
Thompson's hematologist at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Robert A. Brodsky, published a study revealing that the research now has an overall 94% disease-free survival rate.
"[A cure is now] available to the majority, almost the entirety, of sickle cell patients.”

Extremely encouraging to hear Wilson cite Hidalgo directly as influence on urban planning policy
Katie Wilson: "I look at what Mayor Hidalgo has achieved in Paris, and I think that, and some of the mayors in Spanish cities, progressive, socialist mayors in Spanish cities, and the transformation of public space into walkable, people-oriented places where you want to be, it’s just so important."

Always striking to me the level of outrage at airline industry (safest system in the world) in contrast to auto industry, which kills 45,000 people a year in US alone. We went over a decade without a single major domestic commercial airline crash, how many killed by cars in same time?
The fuckers got away with it.
The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them.
They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Jamaica is my favorite example of music from a specific country because they must have the most distinct genre count per capita of anywhere in the world
It always fascinates me to think that a tiny island like Jamaica 🇯🇲 influenced the whole world musically: ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub, dancehall...
From sound systems to hip-hop and EDM, its deep basslines keep on inspiring people globally!

Missing Link. This injury is the fault of Eugene Wasserman and local business cartels. They should be named and shamed. Bad for Seattle, utterly pathetic policy failure not getting a simple bike path constructed for 30 years
Seattle Fire is currently responding to a driver hitting someone on a bike at Shilshole Ave NW and 17th Ave NW.
This was reportedly a hit-and-run.

I would be curious to know if there are historical parallels, where elite run the country off a cliff for no apparent reason. Russian society that pushed for a disastrous war in Japan comes to mind, which famously had no negative consequences in the following decades for the Czarist empire
I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.

I am not a NYC voter, but if I were then the Indian Point shutdown is so bad that it alone is reason to vote against Cuomo
I take issue with the Cuomo policy achievements listed by the Times editorial board in their non-endorsement endorsement of him for the mayoral race. Leaving aside the infrastructure BS – “ambitious clean energy program”? NYS is in the middle of the pack on renewable share, and he shut Indian Point
