I’m VERY happy that @carterlavin.bsky.social has written “If You Want To Win, You Have To Fight: A Guide To Effective Transportation Advocacy,” because books on how to actually change things are TOO RARE. I admit though that I haven’t had a chance to read it yet — have others? #UrbanismBookClub 7/

First MEP report.
Medical research often uses non-parametric tests. We looked, and noticed that small-sample rank-based tests (i.e. M-W, Wilcoxon) have significant granularity... like p-values!
So, here's GRIM for U values -- GRIM-U.
Enjoy.

I heard this in union work all the time “we can’t keep filing grievances,” yes THE FUCK we can for the same logic that is outlined below.
“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.”
Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?
Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

I have not been at sea for too long. It's long enough now that I'm window shopping for something suitable for passages in the southern ocean.
Which is to say I haven't had my ass kicked by the sea recently enough to temper my enthusiasm. An odd thing to miss.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.
