I’m a big fan of the videos that Jason Slaughter creates for @notjustbikes

And I’ve been a Nebula subscriber since 2024 explicitly to watch his videos there (as well as videos by others).

His most recent video made me angry, made me laugh out loud, and otherwise moved me as he enumerates the many ways that cars culture harms us all. The video will show up on his YouTube channel soon, but I want to explicitly support Jason and Nebula here.

Not Just Bikes — Every Reason to Hate Cars

"While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it." This video is a summary of all the ways that cars harm cities, the environment, and people’s lives.

@notjustbikes And given our work with @CyclingGuide it's not really surprising at all that Jason's work resonates so strongly with me! There are loads of reasons to not drive everywhere!

Replace car trips with bike trips for healthier people and places

Reducing the number of car trips people take is important for reducing greenhouse tailpipe emissions from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. And one way to do so is by replacing car trips with bike trips. Healthier people and healthier places. There’s a lot to like about those two outcomes.

@uxMark @notjustbikes Yes, I'm looking forward to that video - will probably see it this weekend.

@WTL @notjustbikes It's an amazing critique of car culture! And for me, at least, an implicit critique of capitalism as well.

@uxMark @notjustbikes that one two-second Australia joke is worth watching the whole video for.
not that you need it, it's a great video to watch.

Nebula is great for Wendover productions too*

Half as interesting is fun

And Jetlag is great entertainment

Along with TLDR for analysis

*Nice to know that there are still good Americans working in Media

And I fully agree to every statement.

Living car-free for several years now, I still love to say: "Everyone should have a right to choose to live without cars." Tell me, where this is possible?
