@robgalanakis We have two that we're really happy with. The JBL Charge 3 which is big and loud and great for the cargo bike parties with our kid, and the JBL Go 3 for our solo rides. Impressively loud for the size but obviously nothing like the bigger speakers. Easy to fasten to a skinny road bike.
@chrys @notjustbikes Alex makes some eminently watchable transportation videos. His bus fare song is a classic!
Jorge StolfiAmy Castor and @davidgerard report on the Texas coalition against wasting 1.7 GW of power from the grid at obscenely subsidized prices, thus extending the life of fossil fuel burning stations, and 1.4 M gallons of cooling water per day while Texans are asked to conserve water, in order to lose investors' money by operating the biggest ponzi and money laundering network ever: https://amycastor.com/2023/10/23/texans-versus-bitcoin-jackie-sawicky-and-the-texas-coalition-against-cryptomining/

@ymasumac @amydiehl My wife works with human rights policy and law, with a focus on women, peace and security. My (admittedly shallow) understanding is that the data shows that in violent conflicts the success of negotiations is roughly proportional to the percentage of women at the table. With over 40 years of experience as a male this does not surprise me at all.
Dr. D. Elisabeth GlasscoUnlike some others, Harriet Tubman did not believe the abolitionist John Brown was crazy. Indeed, she had deep respect for Brown and supported his militant approach to the abolition of slavery, something that was somewhat uncommon at that time when many anti-slavery agitators were advocating for a more pacifist approach.

Ika MakimakiUnfortunately, hostilities have reignited.
The forces of Christmas continue to illegally encroach territory that doesn't belong to them:
Love Actually was on TV last night. Promotions featuring Santa Claus have already been observed, online and in catalogues.
It is barely past mid-october. Poor Halloween hasn't even had a chance. The invasion of November was bad enough.
We reiterate: if Christmas can't respect it's December borders, we WILL fight back.
