Today is the 1-year anniversary of the publication of "Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile." We've visited 38 cities, done more than 100 events and around as many media appearances and, best of all, met thousands of readers. What a wild ride! www.lifeaftercars.com

Wouldn't it be terrible if I pointed out that there are as many people in prison right now in the US as there were in gulags during the entire 24 years of Stalin's leadership of the Soviet Union

“But what if you need to take two people and a pile of books to an event in Tampa? You can’t do that on a bike.” Oh yes you can!

you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

This scraper account posts other people’s stuff without credit. They grudgingly post a separate attribution after the fact, if enough people call them out. Any time an account says “dm me if you own the original,” just put them on the block list. Don’t let these accounts get a foothold here.

We should make a push for mass cancellation of Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount, HBO Max, Amazon Prime and Apple. They have all increased their prices as people are struggling to pay rent, groceries and gas. Guarantee you they'll respond to a massive boycott. All they care about is $$$

That said, I made my annual visit to McDonald's yesterday because I really needed a greasy burger and fries during my volunteering lunch break. HOW MUCH! Somehow McDs has translated from an affordable guilty treat into fuck me, I might as well go to a proper restaurant.

Robert Kraft, owner of the Gillette Stadium, New England Patriots, New England Revolution a (MLS) club and Patriot Place shopping center was the man who instigated the boycott against Macklemore. You know what to do. We can boycott people too.

This account was wildly popular at Xitter and I was constantly banging my head against a wall about it. Straight-up content thief. Block on sight. [ALT text is in a later reply]
