Stuck on Big Tech vs. Big China, America Overlooks the Real Social Media Revolution Happening Elsewhere
The Fediverse, a network of decentralized social media platforms, thrives in Europe and Canada, promoting privacy and user control in contrast to U.S. corporate giants. Factors like European regulations, public funding, and anti-Big Tech sentiment contribute to its success, while the U.S. struggles with corporate dominance and lack of privacy laws, lagging behind in digital innovation.

The Case for More Housing: Shaping Sustainable Communities
Our neighborhoods are evolving, and the choices we make today about housing and development will define our community’s future. By embracing forward-thinking policies and higher-density housing, we can address the housing crisis, reduce commutes, and create vibrant, sustainable communities. Imagine neighborhoods where homes are closer to jobs and schools, businesses flourish with increased foot traffic, and public spaces become greener and more accessible. Let’s move beyond division and commit to a shared vision of inclusivity and progress—one that benefits everyone.

Are there bike share systems out in the world that allow under 18 to take out bikes (or scooters) independently?
It seems odd, in Canada at least that we alllow kids to drive by themselves at 16 but somehow BikeShare needs an adult to supervise.
