Apropos of nothing this Friday: a reminder to never use Google Scholar for correct citations! They are wrong for everything except arXiv papers! And even then it's dicey! It's a shit product!

If anything, use DOIs and Zotero!

For instance, one way I assume that someone hasn't actually read Ruha Benjamin's Race After Technology, despite citing it, is that the citation is to a Social Forces review of the book, which says the publisher is Wiley, and not Polity.

We really need something better than bike lanes.

They aren't wide enough, they aren't safe enough, they aren't good enough. Now that ebikes and electric motorcycles, electric scooters (two, three or four wheels), electric skateboards and monowheels are common, we need something better.

Even on a regular old acoustic bike, if you can hold 30kph you are moving far too fast for the standard, next-to-a-curb bike lane. People just don't think bikes can move that fast. But everything can, now.
