They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @FreedomofPress. freedom.press/issues/wired-i…
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow

As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

The early news has been pretty positive – at least for January. @Ford's EV sales hit a new record high propelled by the Mustang Mach-E. @Hyundai and @Kia are on the upswing too, continuing their commitment to sales. insideevs.com/news/749522/fo…

Farewell to our friend Donald Shoup, the guru who showed how parking can make and break a city. He was decades ahead of his time and we're still trying to catch up with him. The legacy of his life and his times will never expire. parkingreform.org/donald-sho…

Lil late to this, but late last week, @NYC_DOT released what appears to be the first study (outside of @NACTO or other guidance bodies) of 'daylighting,' or the life-saving act of making intersections visible. As someone who's written all about this stuff, figured I'd dig in:

Very excited to unveil DECARBONIZE YOUR LIFE. It’s Heatmap’s guide for how to fight climate change — by changing how you interact with the energy system. This is our attempt to sort through lots of decarbonizing tech — EVs, solar & more — and make sense of them.
HEATMAP’S DECARBONIZE YOUR LIFE banner image

ALT HEATMAP’S DECARBONIZE YOUR LIFE banner image

Welcome to Decarbonize Your Life , Heatmap’s special report that aims to help you make decisions in your own life that are better for the climate, better for you, and better for the world we all live in. This is our attempt, in other words, to assist you in living something like a normal life while also making progress in the fight against climate change. That means making smarter and more informed decisions about how climate change affects your life — and about how your life affects climate change. The point is not what you shouldn’t do (although there is some of that). It’s about what you should do to exert the most leverage on the global economic system and, hopefully, nudge things toward decarbonization just a little bit faster. We certainly think we’ve hit upon a better way to think about climate action, but you don’t have to take our word for it. Keep reading here for more on how (and why) we think about decarbonizing your life — or just skip ahead to our recommendations below

Two massive events, the women’s Final Four and the eclipse, are converging on the ‘underrated’ city; just don’t call it a ‘bigger Des Moines.’

You can also tell how weak someone is by how he preys upon people’s lack of understanding of how govt works instead of fostering their understanding.

You can tell how seriously a man takes himself and his voters by what kind of lies he’s comfortable spewing. You can also infer how weak his arguments must be on the merits if he thinks he can’t win the argument without this sort of demagoguery.
