People of Mastodon!

I'm researching the growth of ebikes ...

... in cities around the US

I've talked to many people who love them!

But also want to include the perspective of folks who have concerns ...

... i.e. about the speed and weight of ebikes in accidents with pedestrians or other cyclists, and the like

If anyone has thoughts they wanna share, ping me! I'm all ears: clive@clivethompson.net

Pass this along if you know anyone else with perspective they want to share

You are going to make love to a Cereal Mascot, who do you choose?

I'm going Snap, Crackle, & Pop.

Having a zillion back-to-back Zoom meetings is even harder when I could be outside watching bouncy baby goats!

A bunch of baby goats and the one mama goat all standing around the same farmyard. One white baby goat is trying to pull himself up onto a tiny concrete ledge next to the building.

Even in late 2016 — when so much was becoming clearer than ever — I never would’ve bet on the GOP devolving further into the party celebrating the checks notes shooting of dogs & shitting of pants.

Which really says a lot about my lack of imagination. #WhereWillTheyGoNext

Whenever I start to sign an email with "yours in...." the AI suggests ..."scouting".

I meant to write "...Peace", which might be the the least Scouty thing ever.

Visual delicacies from a nice day #backcountry #skiing in #montana .

Always remember: if you aren't crashing, you aren't trying.

Gonna be freakin' balmy by Sunday. No windchill warning! Woohoo!

Just hoping it doesn't snow TOO much, since no motors will start for awhile...

When did people start saying "Yeah, no: blah blah blah", and when will they stop?

A nice ski day, as long as you know where to find the #snow
#Montana #skiing #photography

pine trees are silhouetted before the streaky blue and orange sky, and on a snowy hillside, where they cast dramatic shadows against the snow
silhouetted pine trees cast shadows across rolling, snow-covered hills. Sunshine sparkles in the snow, and in the sky

Get out there, and SPARKLE!, my friends.

Towers of cylindrical ice crystals are built up on the end of a stick protruding from the snow
cubes of sparkling ice crystals cling to a branch
feathery hoar frost carpets the top snow layer

I leave the Firefox process manager tab open and look at occasionally. One of the bad interesting things is that youtube, and worse, twitter will be running processes that are using like half a gig of memory, even though I don't have any windows open to them. I assume it's from links in other sites.

The cool thing is you can just go down that list and kill things with the X on the right. The page doesn't close, so when you want to see it you just reload it.
