America's car culture is broken -- cyclists and pedestrians know this.

But what's not acknowledged often enough is just how broken it is for *drivers*

Our roads are deadlier than they have been at any point in the past ~20 years.

And the average price of a new car now exceeds $40,000.

It doesn't have to be this way!

Pretty much the rest of the world is embracing micro- and mini-mobility.

Here's what that looks like.

This is what my inbox looks like around the major cybersecurity conferences.

Reading and thoroughly enjoying this book by @pluralistic

Must say, I’m so glad I have the internet handy. Here are some of the things I’ve had to look up so far: BIOS; Apollo Robbins; AFK; Kasey the Kangaroo; SPACs; unsalted hash; vuln. Learning a few things, or at least filling in a couple of gaps in my knowledge. It’s a fun read, even for me.

I am going to do a live-posting read-through of Andreessen's manifesto at some point, but I took a peek at it this morning, and I'm not impressed.

It's intellectually dishonest and cult-y from the very beginning, opening up with the "you've been lied to" narrative, and then proceeding to equate any opposition to primitivism and ludditism.

There are pro-technology, pro-progress positions that dispute his position. Technoprogressivism is a thing.

So I'd really love some input on my new personal page! I am kinda excited about it.

Here is the link, feedback welcome: https://jeffreyfreeman.me/

It mostly looks like the old version but the home page is revamped (I really like the real time git heatmap I created! ) and it is totally built from scratch. Some features I love:

It even supports the Fediverse as a full activity pub end point. It uses the following handle:

Here are some of my favorite features:

* Fedipub / ActivityPub support, it rungs https://fedipage.com
* Clean and simple theme.
* Git heatmap (seen on the home page)
* Tags support
* Hugo static site based

Amidst a sea of bad news, here's something cheerful: Poland's far-right ruling party tried every conceivable trick to hold onto power, but with a massive turnout voters rejected the effort

The news has an "event bias," which blinds us to positive, but long-term, trends. Our world has changed profoundly in ways that most of us don't realize. Here are ten charts that can help us better understand our world: https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/how-to-understand-our-world-in-10

I’m in the midst of leafing a day and half long #LeadersFromLaw workshop for rising progressive lawyers and law students interested in public office. We are gathered at #TempleUniversity in #Philadelphia. The range of experience and talent these young lawyers and law students have and will bring to politics is exciting and uplifting. #LawFedi
