Anecdotally, I can't recall ever seeing #pedestrian traffic in #manhattan as busy as it is today during any prior month of February.

I believed that the longer #congestion remained in effect, the more data would support it. But it's increasingly looking like *all* data will support it, not some.

Anecdotal and numeric evidence is also starting to emerge that #congestionpricing has caused significant reductions in car traffic *outside* #Manhattan, including in the #Bronx.

(The Bronx was frequently used by concern trolls suddenly worried that the poors might suffer from worse air pollution, based on an erroneous assumption that traffic would *increase* outside the congestion relief zone.)

I once saw a toot from someone who helped develop dozens of "explainer" videos for an online #news outlet, all of which were taken down when the platform was sold to #billionaires.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? I can't find that toot!

@blogdiva Powell's, the large #independentbookstore in #pdx, also ships nationwide!

Did the L.A. County supervisor for district 5 just compare the fires to "a third world country" on live TV??

It is fascinating how many of the 20somethings I work with have been seduced to join FB, many for the first time, in order to use Marketplace.
