Why are we freezing drive test fees? How many subsidies can car owners get?

why not take an evidence based approach to quitting your job and let someone who knows what their doing make the decisions? we already have a consistent approach to installing bike lanes.

How about high speed rail? How about a bicycle highway? How about get the crosstown finished? How about get the Niagara go train service running? How about a go bus link from Niagara on the lake to Niagara college? (Niagara college go station?)

📍 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚 Paving the path for a stronger and more connected Northeast! 🛣️✨ In Meghalaya, laid the foundation stone and dedicated to the nation 6 National Highway projects with a total investment of ₹3,214 crore, alongside Chief Minister Shri Conrad K Sangma Ji, Deputy CMs Shri Prestone Tynsong Ji, Shri Sniawbha Dhar Ji, Meghalaya Vidhan Sabha Speaker Shri Thomas A. Sangma Ji, State Ministers, MLAs, and senior officials at Polo Ground, Shillong. The Pynursla Bypass will decongest the town, speed up tourist travel, and improve connectivity to the Umngot River (Dawki) and the international border. The Jowai Bypass has eased congestion and improved road safety in Jowai. These projects will provide a major boost to international trade and tourism in Dawki, Dalu, and Cherrapunji, while generating large-scale employment and self-employment opportunities. The Tura Bypass will divert traffic from built-up areas, enabling faster and safer travel to the international border near Dalu. The road from the Dhubri–Phulbari Bridge to Selsella–Simbukolgre will strengthen connectivity across West Garo Hills. The Shillong–Dawki Corridor will enhance cross-border connectivity via Tamabil, ease traffic in Upper Shillong, reduce travel time, and strengthen strategic connectivity. The Selsella–Simbukolgre–Goeragre road will further improve connectivity in West Garo Hills and link to the upcoming four-lane Dhubri–Phulbari Bridge over the Brahmaputra. These initiatives will also enhance access to healthcare and emergency services in remote areas through improved connectivity to Shillong and Guwahati, while boosting agricultural incomes and promoting traditional crafts such as bamboo and cane work, Eri silk (Ryndia) handloom, and black pottery. Under the visionary leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, we remain steadfast in our commitment to equip Meghalaya and the entire Northeast with world-class highway infrastructure for faster, smoother, and safer travel. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti #BuildingTheNation

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump announces legislation has ADVANCED to make PERMANENT Daylight Saving Time through the Sunshine Protection Act — and demands Congress make it LAW 🔥 No more time changes soon! "This is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks. Many of these Clocks are located in Towers, and the cost of renting, or using, Heavy Equipment to do this twice a year is prohibitive!" "The House will be attaching The Sunshine Protection Act to “The Highway Bill.” Great work by Troy Nehls, and all of the Members who voted, as well, for Railway Safety." "I am going to work very hard to see The Sunshine Protection Act signed into Law. It’s time that people can stop worrying about the “Clock,” not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production." "It will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it! We are going with the far more popular alternative, Saving Daylight, which gives you a longer, brighter Day — And who can be against that — This is an easy one! Thank you to everyone who supported this important Bill, and especially Chairman Brett Guthrie and Vern Buchanan. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

🚨NYC Shutting Down Another Traffic Lane – Causing More Gridlock and Making You Pay for It !! 🚨 I’ve been investigating the streets of New York City for a long time. As a NYC driver, I see firsthand how congestion and traffic aren’t just happening by accident—they’re being created by the city’s own bad street designs. And now, they expect us to pay for it with congestion pricing, draining the wallets of middle- and lower-class New Yorkers. Last month alone, the city made over $50 million from congestion pricing—money taken straight from the pockets of hardworking New Yorkers who have no choice but to drive. And instead of fixing the streets, they’re making things even worse. Now, the city is rolling out a new street design that will shut down another traffic lane on Sixth Avenue to make way for a double-wide bike lane. This means fewer lanes for cars, leading to even more gridlock in one of the busiest parts of Manhattan. Sixth Avenue is already packed with delivery trucks, taxis, rideshares, buses, and regular commuters—now the city is making it worse by cutting down road space even further. What do they think is going to happen when they remove a lane of traffic from one of the most congested streets in Midtown? Traffic will back up even more, drivers will be forced to sit in gridlock for longer periods, and emergency vehicles will struggle to get through. This isn't about making the streets better—this is about making it impossible to drive in NYC, forcing people to give up their cars and rely on an already broken public transit system. Meanwhile, bike lanes keep getting expanded while the city ignores the real traffic problems. The reality is, bike lanes aren’t being used nearly as much as the city wants you to believe. Most of the time, they sit empty, while cars and buses are crammed into fewer and fewer lanes. This isn’t about safety—it’s about forcing an anti-car agenda on the people who actually need to drive. And what’s their solution? They want to force you onto the subway—a transit system that’s more dangerous than ever. Over the past few months, we’ve all seen the rise in subway violence—stabbings, robberies, and assaults happening daily. The same politicians who created this mess, like Governor Hochul and the MTA, expect us to just accept it. Instead of making the trains safer, they’re making driving impossible. And let’s talk about the MTA—New York’s never-ending money pit. Billions of dollars pour into the system every year, and yet we never see any real improvements. Trains still break down, stations are filthy, service is unreliable, and crime is out of control. The MTA always claims they need more funding, yet no one ever asks where all the money is actually going. Meanwhile, the people who rely on the subway are stuck dealing with fare hikes, delays, and dangerous conditions. But the damage doesn’t stop there. I’ve been speaking with business owners throughout New York City, and they all tell me the same thing—sales are down since congestion pricing rolled out. With fewer people driving into the city, foot traffic has dropped, and small businesses are suffering. Shops, restaurants, and other local businesses that rely on a steady flow of customers are now seeing empty stores and struggling to stay afloat. Business owners have told me the city just isn’t the same anymore. This isn’t about reducing congestion—it’s about punishing drivers, killing small businesses, and squeezing more money out of the people who can least afford it. New York City is no longer a place for the working class. The politicians and bureaucrats behind this mess don’t care—because they’re not the ones stuck in traffic, struggling to run a business, or riding the subways in fear. We are.

Here's my first drive on Tesla FSD V14.3.1. It feels polished vs 14.3 and it my opinion is ready for wide release. • With 14.3.1, you can now tap on the new "P" parking icon and bring up your different parking options • Mad Max mode on the highway feels slightly more conservative with top speed (favors low 80s more often), but will now get to the right lanes sooner to prepare for exiting the highway. In this first drive, Mad Max did not go above 83mph, despite no cars around me most of the time. Follow distance is also more comfortable. I like all these things. • I'm having zero brake stabbing issues on 14.3.1, whereas I had a couple on my first drive with 14.3 • Urban lane selection is better vs 14.3 • Navigation routes and occasional parking alignment still need some work, but that's not a reason to hold back wide release. It still surprises me how much quicker V14.3 reacts to things. If a car pulls out of a parking spot as you drive by, FSD hits the brakes before you even know what's going on. The 20% better reaction time is definitely noticeable.

Soon: South Mumbai–Thane in just 25 minutes MMRDA has commenced construction of the Elevated Eastern Freeway Extension, a 13.9 km, fully elevated 6-lane high-speed corridor that will dramatically reduce travel time between South Mumbai and Thane to 25–30 minutes, while easing daily congestion on the Eastern Express Highway (EEH)—one of Mumbai’s busiest arterial routes serving lakhs of commuters every day. The corridor will run from Anand Nagar, Thane to Chheda Nagar, Ghatkopar, with key links at Mulund, Airoli, JVLR, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg, Mankhurd and Ghatkopar. In Thane, the corridor will merge seamlessly with the Anand Nagar–Saket Elevated Road near the erstwhile Mulund Octroi Naka, forming a continuous high-speed route. It will also provide seamless onward connectivity to the Samruddhi Expressway. Once completed, the project will significantly improve traffic flow, lower emissions, and offer a faster, more reliable and greener commute to lakhs of citizens, while boosting economic activity across the MMR. As part of MMRDA’s commitment to sustainable development, and in consultation with experts and green activists, the Vikhroli–Ghatkopar stretch was realigned to save 127 Pink Trumpet trees. A total of 4,175 new trees will be planted as compensatory green cover. Key Highlights: ✔️ Construction of 2.5 m diameter monopiles, robust piers, 40-m spans, and a 25-m single-segment superstructure ✔️ Single-pile, single-pier system — first-of-its-kind for an elevated road in MMR ✔️ Up–down ramps near Mulund Check Naka, Airoli Junction & Vikhroli Junction ✔️ 3+3 lane elevated toll plaza near Navghar Flyover ✔️ Designed for uninterrupted, safe, high-speed movement Status Update: • Preliminary survey works completed • Test piles completed • Geotechnical investigation mostly done • Utility identification substantially completed • Working piles and pier casting in progress A faster, greener and more connected Mumbai Metropolitan Region is taking shape — one pillar at a time. #MMRDA #EasternFreewayExtension #MumbaiToThane #25MinuteCommute #MumbaiInfrastructure #ViksitMMR #UrbanMobility #NextGenConnectivity #MumbaiDevelopment #SeamlessConnectivity #HighSpeedCorridor #MumbaiInMinutes #FutureReadyMumbai #SustainableMumbai #TransformingMMR #MMRGrowth #MumbaiMetropolitanRegion #TransformingMMR #ReimaginingMMR #RebootingMumbai #ReshapingMMR CMO Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis Eknath Shinde - एकनाथ शिंदे Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee MAHARASHTRA DGIPR PIB India

🚨 Ford’s deadly 401 speed gamble While big rigs continue to kill and injure Ontarians, Premier Ford is increasing speed limits along major highways. On July 11, 2026, a clear afternoon on the eastbound 401 near Townline Road in Cambridge turned deadly. Nine vehicles collided in a massive pile-up. A 44-year-old man from Kitchener was airlifted but ultimately succumbed to his injuries, and fifteen others were injured. All eastbound lanes were closed for ten hours. A transport truck driver was arrested for dangerous driving and later released pending investigation. More and more, this is no longer an isolated tragedy on North America’s largest – and Ontario’s busiest – highway. While transport trucks make up roughly 3% of vehicles on the road, they are involved in 12% of fatal crashes. At least that’s what Auditor General Shelley Spence said in her May report, which detailed just how dangerous and inadequate commercial truck driver training has become in the province. The report detailed how private career colleges were skipping required hours, cutting programs from the mandated 103.5 hours down to as little as 59 or 81, in some cases. Students were not taught basic emergency stops or left turns at major intersections. Unregistered schools are issuing certificates, and dozens of colleges operate entirely uninspected. The 2017 Entry Level Training standard has largely collapsed under this weak government oversight. While the Ford government accepted every one of the AG’s recommendations, real enforcement has been notably absent. Adding insult to injury, just days before the Cambridge crash, the Globe and Mail reported that nearly 100 trucking companies with serious safety violations and failed audits, and Ottawa had approved wage theft orders to hire temporary foreign workers. Of those, several Ontario firms with conditional safety ratings continued operating with these approvals. Many companies use “Driver Inc.” models that misclassify drivers as independent contractors. This allows them to dodge proper wages, overtime, and hours-of-service rules. The result is financial pressure that encourages cost-cutting and incentivizes drivers to stay on the road, even when they should be taking a break. The Ontario Trucking Association has been calling on the government to do something about this for years. Stronger enforcement measures include “tightening oversight of immigration, revamping licensing and audit processes, and introducing changes to the way truck inspection stations operate,” they wrote in October last year. Meanwhile, the Ford government is busy raising speed limits across long stretches of the 401 and other highways. Passenger cars can now travel faster while heavy trucks are supposed to remain electronically governed at 105 km/h. Yet given the documented failures in training, inspections, and company oversight, many drivers rightly question whether those limiters are properly installed, set correctly, or enforced at all. Premier Doug Ford and Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria cannot have it both ways. Families heading to cottage country and commuters on the 401 should not have to play Russian roulette every time they merge onto the highway. You cannot flood the roads with drivers produced by a broken training system and questionable hiring practices, then raise speeds and act surprised when the body count rises. The scope and risks of this system require immediate action: full audits of every truck driving school, aggressive 24/7 enforcement on speed limiters and illegal operations, an end to rubber-stamping temporary foreign worker approvals for companies with safety violations, and prioritizing safety over speed increases until the system is fixed.

When governments in the West find a new tool they like, first they test it abroad, and soon it lands in Washington. The UK is now rolling out a digital ID that will start as a “modernization” on your phone and become mandatory for the right to work by the end of this Parliament. No digital ID? No job. Period. King Charles calls it "progress". Supporters promise less fraud and easier services. But critics see the real danger. Once this “secure credential” exists, it'll be into the ultimate gatekeeper, logging every check, every service, every move into a lifelong government dossier. And the price tag? Up to £20 billion, while public services are already stretched thin and no one has proven it will actually save money or deliver results. Facial recognition, centralized databases, digital wallets that “dial home” every time you use it. Connect the dots and you get exactly what digital rights advocates are warning about: tools of convenience that become tools of control. A former MP put it bluntly: “Say yes to digital ID and you’ll never be able to say no to your government again.” Hundreds of thousands of Brits are protesting and petitioning, but the machine keeps moving. That tells you everything you need to know about who this system is really built to serve. The question isn’t what digital ID is today. It’s what it will inevitably become tomorrow. Wake up, Britain.

That tells you everything you need to know about who this system is really built to serve. The question isn’t what digital ID is today. It’s what it will inevitably become tomorrow. Wake up, Britain.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER LAGOSIANS ? Deputy Governor of Lagos State and Lagos APC Governorship Candidate, Dr Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat Obafemi Hamzat The Lagos APC Gubernatorial candidate explained his focus on strategies to improve Transportation and being able to move as many people around generally across Lagos State by increasing the integration of water, rail, and road transport. - The OMI EKO Project: The continuation of the recently launched ‘OMI EKO Project’ by Governor Sanwo-Olu (17-11-2025), which seeks to introduce 77 electric ferries across Lagos waterways, routing ferries parallel to 3rd mainland bridge, new Morden terminals, new dredging routes to open up more channels and many more, the aim is to increase water usage for daily commuting and connect villages, neighborhoods, and city hubs. - RAILWAY: The continuation of the #BlueLineRail linking Mile 2 to Okokomaiko and also linking the #RedLineRail with the #BlueLineRail at National Theatre. The lines are expected to move 500,000 people daily, dramatically improving cross-city mobility and shorten travel times, which will enable wider housing choices for commuters. - BUS RAPID TRANSIT: Dr Hamzat has advocated for large BRT buses to move large passenger volumes, which is standard practice across the world. He says the Mini-buses are not sufficient enough for the passenger volume in the State. - ROAD EXPANSION: He specifically referenced the Mende–Ojota Link Bridge and a planned phase two connection to the third axial road before the Third Mainland Bridge, he says this combined approach roads, BRT, rail, and ferries is meant to decongest main arteries and improve overall traffic flow. Finally, For Housing, Accessibility and General Economic Impact, Dr Hamzat says a place like Ajara Estate, Badagry, once the transportation plans (rail, BRT, expanded roads and alternatives are right) residents that live farther from workplaces will have better access to the city center, which will drive prosperity, enable trade, industry, and innovation by reducing travel friction. The Deputy Governor once again says moving people around massively and easily is a major importance to a big City like Lagos State. #KOH4Lagos #ForwardLagos #GreaterLagosRising #DrObafemiHamzat Babajide Sanwo-Olu

We have been receiving numerous complaints about accidents that frequently occur on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays around major roundabouts in the city, especially along Uhuru Highway. A disturbing pattern has emerged. Many victims report that immediately after accidents, they are robbed by individuals who claim to be first responders. At the same time, several tow trucks and recovery vehicles are often stationed around these roundabouts. In some locations, you will find three or four tow trucks waiting nearby even before any accident occurs. This raises serious concerns and questions: Who is stealing from the victims? Why are these tow trucks always positioned at these specific spots? Are some of these individuals taking advantage of accident victims under the guise of offering help? This situation calls for urgent investigation by security agencies and traffic authorities to establish whether there is any organized criminal activity targeting motorists at accident scenes. I also urge all drivers to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol, remain cautious, and strictly observe road safety rules to reduce accidents. To KeNHA, KURA, and all relevant agencies, more needs to be done to improve safety around these roundabouts including better lighting, signage, surveillance, traffic control, and proper guidance for new drivers. Road safety must go hand in hand with public security. No victim of an accident should suffer further loss through theft or exploitation.

The mindless, unplanned, chaotic road digging in Mumbai has upended the life of lakhs of residents. The city now resembles an archaeological dig rather than a well planned metropolis. Only 266 road concretisation projects have been completed whereas 930 roads are dug up across the city. This has made daily commute miserable for Mumbaikars. Today, as part of our #NoCorruptionMeriGullyMein citizens' campaign, I visited Road No. 19 and 20 in Khar- a textbook example of the shoddy, unplanned work plaguing Mumbai. Shockingly, the work order for these roads was issued in January 2023, yet work only began in October 2024. Since then, progress has crawled at a snail’s pace. The deadline of May 2025 looms ahead and we will now see hurried, shoddy execution of work. Here is what we observed while walking through all the rubble lying around : 🚧 Roads have been dug up so recklessly that there is no space to walk. Many senior citizens reside here, and schools are nearby, yet no proper provisions have been made for pedestrians. 🚧 Work has been dragging on intermittently for months, with residents frequently facing water and electricity disruptions. 🚧 Some stretches have been half-completed, while the other half remains in a dangerously dug-up state, leaving no room to walk. 🚧 In some parts, one has to get inside the compounds of housing societies to be able to walk ahead, affecting privacy and safety of residents. 🚧 No responsible person was present at the site.The माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC had promised that engineers will be available on road concretisation sites but we didn't find anyone. My questions to the माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC and this anti people government: 🚩 Mumbaikars were promised concretised roads by 2025, but all we are getting is dug up roads and chaos? While contractors have profiteered, Mumbaikars are enduring the pain? Who will be held accountable for these delays and the chaos? 🚩 Why should citizens put up with roads mindlessly dug up all across Mumbai? 🚩 Why is Mumbaikars tax money being wasted by digging, re-digging and patching up newly made roads? 🚩 Why are water and electricity connections being disrupted by contractors frequently without any consequences? Who takes responsibility for this? 🚩 Why aren't contractors being penalised heavily for delays and disruptions? 🚩 Why isn't the माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC and the state government taking responsibility for the mess created? Why has no official been pulled up for this? Mumbaikars need answers, do not test their patience. #ReclaimOurRoads #MumbaiRoads #Mumbai #Concretisation #MumbaiDeservesBetter M.N.C.D.F Craters of Mumbai (Potholes ka Parivar) Roads of Mumbai मुंबई Matters™🇮🇳 Bandra Community bandranews_com Bandra Buzz Bandra Youth group

🇪🇸🇪🇺 SPANISH MEP: EU THREATENS WHOEVER DISOBEYS - TODAY IT'S X, TOMORROW IT'S YOU Jorge Buxadé, Spanish MEP from Vox, has delivered a blunt truth: the EU is no longer defending freedom, it's punishing it. The Digital Services Act is being used not to protect users, but to silence anyone who dares defy the Commission’s narrative. This is not digital governance, this is mafia politics. First they came for X, tomorrow it will be Hungary, your news outlet, your church, your voice. The DSA is the perfect tool for unaccountable bureaucrats to decide who gets silenced, who gets fined, and who gets erased. While Ursula von der Leyen drowns in corruption scandals, her Commission uses censorship to distract and control. But Europeans are waking up, and voices like Buxadé’s remind us: they can threaten, they can fine, but they will not win. “This is not a fine. It is a mafia style warning. The commission is using the DSA to punish anyone who refuses to take its propaganda. Today it is a company like X. On other days it is countries like Hungary or media outlets and citizens like you. Brussels has turned digital regulation into a tool for player censorship and political control. The swamp of corruption that Brussels has become under the presidency of the EPP leader, Ursula von der Leyen, is now trying to cover up this week's money mismanagement scandals by attacking X with this sanction. They are sending a warning to all the fans. They are prepared to do whatever it takes to maintain control over our lives, and we are going to maintain the freedom of our lives. Long live Europe. Long live our freedom!” Source: Jorge Buxadé, VOX 🇪🇸, VOX Europa, Patriots for Europe

It's here! All power assets are now live on my GB Renewables Map ⚡ That's right, it's not just wind farms any more. Now you can see live and historic data for gas power plants, nuclear, grid batteries, biomass, pumped hydro and even a bit of solar. Wind farms are still the default for now, though you can enable as many or as few of the other fuel types and your selection will be remembered when you come back to the website. It's already live so go play for yourself here: There are numerous other updates as well: ⛔ Click the plug button to see a curtailment view, now including turn-up and a better visual representation of turn-down and turn-up actions ℹ️ Tooltips include loads more detail about fuel type and balancing actions ☢️ Each fuel type can be toggled using the map buttons 🧠 Map state is remembered when you reload or revisit the website ✨ Lots of new and under construction power assets are now on the map ↕️ Summary of balancing actions at the top of the map 🚦 Grid boundaries and constraints shown using a traffic light system And I'm only getting started! This update was the original goal of creating the map a few years ago. Now it's here I can shift focus to all the other ideas I have for it… Oh, and there's a new feedback button at the top. Please use it to let me know of any issues you find (there will be plenty) or suggestions to help improve this resource for everyone else. I'd also like to thank you for all the support and encouragement as I build this free resource in my free time (yup, this isn't my job). Honestly, it's been an incredible motivator and the discussions over the years have taught me a huge amount that has only made the map better for everyone. Until the next update!

This Remembrance Sunday, I recommend reading the words of Lance Sergeant Bill Gibson of No.2 Commando 6 troop. Written before he set off on Operation Chariot, to be delivered in the event of his death. Sadly Bill and the friend he mentions, Lance Sergeant Peter Harkness were both killed in action during the raid. “My dearest Dad, by the time you get this I shall be one of the many who have sacrificed their unimportant lives for what little ideals we may have - my own ideals I can thank you for. The job we have been on has been something worthwhile - it has virtually been suicide but the repercussions after we will have finished our task will be very far reaching in as much as the raiders who sink so many of our merchant ships will be put out of action for at least six months - so the food line from America should be unimpaired. Peter and I will be together- our task is just a wee bit dangerous, but if we can hold Jerry off it will mean the saving of the lives of a lot of our pals. We have been on this boat for a fortnight now, and we are all determined to see this through. I salute you all, No.2 Commando - they are a great lot of lads. Tomorrow moming I am going to Holy Communion - the first communion I have ever been at - but I know God will help us all he can, and I pray, Dad, that he will help you, and bless Betty for all she has been to us. My will has been made out - it seems so silly but we have all had to do it. I would like you. Dad, to write a note to my Irish girl and let her know what has happened. You will get her address in any of the letters - her name is Anne Brien - would you do this for me. The reason I am writing this at all, Dad, is just the thought that it might be a little better for you to get this rather than the dreaded telegram. I don't think I have made any enemies in the world - I have made a lot of good friends, but you've been the best pal I've ever had. Your influence, plus our Alex's, has certainly helped me to pass through life with a character which, though a bit rough in some things, still has all the fine thoughts gained from both of you. Sandy, I suppose, I'll have met by this time so don't be worried, Dad. It seems ever so peculiar to be writing this letter. We've just finished our tea and the sunshine is streaming through the portholes. We've been on deck sunbathing all day. Peter is very red now, and I am myself, and everything seems so far removed from the job ahead of us. We have not been allowed to leave the boat for over a fortnight now except for organized parties to get some exercise. With spring in the air and everything looking so beautiful we can only now appreciate how lovely everything is - almost like condemned criminals. Well, Dad dearest, I'll close now. Don't worry and don't be too unhappy - remember what you always told me - to keep my chin up. I'll have done what chance has made my duty, and I can only hope that by laying down my life the generations to come might in some way remember us, and also benefit by what we've done. It is unnecessary for me to tell you how sorry I am at not being able to do a lot of the things I have longed to do to pay you back for the chance you gave me. In a time like this I turn to you, Dad, and God - I hope there will be peace for everyone soon. Give my love to everyone - I'll remember you. Your loving son, Bill" We will remember them.

4 school kids died in this unfortuante accident. Everyone is blaming truck driver, However I want to highlight something very different. That is defensive driving, Just learning how to drive isnt enough in India, Teach your children defensive driving. Defensive driving is the ability to anticipate the stupidity that can happen on the road and protect yourself from it. What do you do when: - The car ahead brakes without warning? - A truck is parked in the fast lane? - A vehicle suddenly changes lanes without indicating? - Someone is driving towards you from the wrong side of the road? - A bike appears from a blind spot? - A pedestrian crosses the road while looking at their phone? - An auto-rickshaw stops suddenly to pick up a passenger? - A vehicle behind you is driving too fast and too close? - A driver is angry, impatient or clearly distracted? - You are approaching an intersection where you cannot see what is coming from the other side? Defensive driving means keeping a safe distance, scanning beyond the vehicle directly in front of you, checking blind spots, anticipating mistakes, using indicators, understanding escape routes, slowing down at junctions and never assuming that another driver has seen you. It also means knowing when not to overtake, not getting into a road rage contest, giving way when the other person is clearly reckless, and remembering that being right is not more important than reaching home safely. Driving in India is like navigating through an animal kingdom. Survival depends not only on knowing how to move through the jungle, but also on knowing how to defend yourself when the jungle behaves unpredictably. I hope road safety in India changes over time. I am putting a significant amount of my time into making that happen. But what do we do until then. I will write more about defensive driving soon. I have done a course on it and one day and it has saved my life. I wish to do same for kids.

The Outer Banks, North Carolina, feel gloriously endless. Drive south long enough and the land gets strangely thin. Atlantic Ocean on one side. Pamlico Sound on the other. In places, there isn’t much between them besides dunes, marsh grass and Highway 12 running toward the horizon. More than 100 miles of barrier islands stretch along this part of North Carolina, and Cape Hatteras National Seashore protects roughly 70 miles of coastline. The islands themselves are always changing. Wind moves sand. Waves reshape beaches. Storms wash over dunes and sometimes cut new inlets through them. People living here have spent centuries adjusting to a coastline that refuses to stay put. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is a good example. The black-and-white tower has stood since 1870. By the late 20th century, erosion had brought the Atlantic dangerously close, so in 1999 engineers moved the nearly 200-foot lighthouse about 2,900 feet inland. The move took 23 days. The waters around Cape Hatteras have caused trouble for ships for centuries too. Known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, this stretch of coast is filled with shoals, strong currents and rough weather. More than 1,000 vessels are estimated to have been lost near Cape Hatteras alone. Lighthouses went up along the coast, followed by Life-Saving Service stations where crews watched for ships in trouble and headed into the surf when they spotted one. A different kind of history happened farther north. In 1900, Wilbur and Orville Wright arrived looking for a place to experiment with flight. The steady wind, open sand and isolation around Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills made the area a good fit. On December 17, 1903, their first powered flight lasted 12 seconds. Three more followed that day. The open ground around Wright Brothers National Memorial is worth paying attention to. The wind and empty space were a big part of why the brothers chose this place. Farther south is Jockey’s Ridge, the tallest natural sand dune system on the East Coast. Highway 12 continues through Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon and Buxton, with long stretches where the houses disappear and the dunes take over again. Eventually you reach Hatteras, where the road stops at the water. From there, the ferry carries you to Ocracoke. Ocracoke is also where Blackbeard was killed in 1718 after a fight with Royal Navy forces near the island. Today it’s much quieter. There’s a small village, miles of beach and no highway bringing you straight onto the island. You have to cross water to get there. That slower pace is part of the Outer Banks. You pass through a village, the houses thin out, and before long you’re driving with dunes on either side and barely anything ahead. The coastline has wrecked ships, moved beaches and forced people to relocate a lighthouse. The same steady winds also helped the Wright brothers get an airplane off the ground. Cape Hatteras became the country’s first national seashore in 1953, helping preserve a huge stretch of these islands from continuous development. You notice that from the road. The Wright Brothers site, Jockey’s Ridge, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Ocracoke are all worth stopping for, but I’d leave just as much time for the drive between them. That’s the part I’d remember most: long stretches of Highway 12 with dunes on both sides and hardly anything ahead. I write about places like this in my newsletter....the history and little details that give you another reason to go. If that sounds like your kind of travel, subscribe.

People living here have spent centuries adjusting to a coastline that refuses to stay put. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is a good example. The black-and-white tower has stood since 1870. By the late 20th century, erosion had brought the Atlantic dangerously close, so in 1999 engineers moved the nearly 200-foot lighthouse about 2,900 feet inland. The move took 23 days. The waters around Cape Hatteras have caused trouble for ships for centuries too. Known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, this stretch of coast is filled with shoals, strong currents and rough weather. More than 1,000 vessels are estimated to have been lost near Cape Hatteras alone. Lighthouses went up along the coast, followed by Life-Saving Service stations where crews watched for ships in trouble and headed into the surf when they spotted one. A different kind of history happened farther north. In 1900, Wilbur and Orville Wright arrived looking for a place to experiment with flight. The steady wind, open sand and isolation around Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills made the area a good fit. On December 17, 1903, their first powered flight lasted 12 seconds. Three more followed that day. The open ground around Wright Brothers National Memorial is worth paying attention to. The wind and empty space were a big part of why the brothers chose this place. Farther south is Jockey’s Ridge, the tallest natural sand dune system on the East Coast. Highway 12 continues through Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon and Buxton, with long stretches where the houses disappear and the dunes take over again. Eventually you reach Hatteras, where the road stops at the water. From there, the ferry carries you to Ocracoke. Ocracoke is also where Blackbeard was killed in 1718 after a fight with Royal Navy forces near the island. Today it’s much quieter. There’s a small village, miles of beach and no highway bringing you straight onto the island. You have to cross water to get there. That slower pace is part of the Outer Banks. You pass through a village, the houses thin out, and before long you’re driving with dunes on either side and barely anything ahead. The coastline has wrecked ships, moved beaches and forced people to relocate a lighthouse. The same steady winds also helped the Wright brothers get an airplane off the ground. Cape Hatteras became the country’s first national seashore in 1953, helping preserve a huge stretch of these islands from continuous development. You notice that from the road. The Wright Brothers site, Jockey’s Ridge, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Ocracoke are all worth stopping for, but I’d leave just as much time for the drive between them. That’s the part I’d remember most: long stretches of Highway 12 with dunes on both sides and hardly anything ahead. I write about places like this in my newsletter....the history and little details that give you another reason to go. If that sounds like your kind of travel, subscribe.

Imagine if your way of thinking - your edge, your taste, your strategy - could be turned into a high-performance worker. Not a copy of you. Something better. An agent that acts on your judgment at scale, powered by superintelligent systems and refined through real-world results. That’s what Fraction AI makes possible. It launches today on Base mainnet. The core idea is simple: You create AI agents based on your own way of approaching problems. These agents compete on live tasks - writing, coding, finance, whatever - get feedback, learn from their performance, and improve over time. The better they get, the more they win. And so do you. No code required. Just your insight. Why now? Until now, building agents like this took huge teams and even bigger budgets. But with Fraction, anyone can do it. You can test ideas instantly. You can iterate fast. You can build a fleet of smart workers that evolve through competition. And it works. 30M+ sessions on testnet 320K users 1.2M agents already competing How it works? Agents join sessions within a Space - a domain like finance, writing, or games. Each session runs as a series of competitive rounds. In every round, agents try to generate the best solution to a task. Their outputs are scored by a decentralized network of AI judges trained to evaluate quality for that domain. The top agents in each round earn rewards from the pooled entry fees. The losers get to learn. Feedback from each round helps them adjust and improve, and every session becomes a training loop. What it means? Fraction is a decentralized intelligence economy - a system where your ideas become agents, and agents earn by proving they work. You don’t need credentials or code. Just a clear point of view. If your thinking holds up under pressure, your agents will rise. This kind of AI used to live in corporate labs, built by PhDs with massive compute. Now anyone with a smart idea and an internet connection can build agents that compete, learn, and earn on their behalf.

Time to talk Electric Boda Bodas (e-mobility)? On Monday, The Daily Monitor run two articles that caught my attention (see frame 4) On their leading story, they run a piece that said that Uganda imports twice as many motorcycles (boda bodas) as cars. In their special feature, they run a very well researched story that said: “Kampala’s Air Quality Among Worst in the World”. That piece featured some of the voices of my work colleagues at Public Square. Beyond just lamenting about the quality of air we breathe, it’s important to remember that the solutions are within reach. One of those is increasing the uptake of electric boda bodas. This, we can do from the ground up. It’s easier to push consumer adoption by merely turning first adopters into a marketing force than through standing on a pedestal and preaching the virtues of embracing e-mobility from our air conditioned offices that we access by driving fuel guzzling SUVs. Some of the barriers to adoption are the misconceptions among riders about e-bikes. These range from stuff like “they are not as fast as the petrol powered bikes”, “they don’t have range”, “they aren’t as strong so can’t carry a lot of weight” etc A few weeks ago, I fortuitously got a chance to put the first misconception to the test. My regular boda guy had actually given the reason of speed or lack thereof, as his impediment to buying an e-bike so he had instead bought himself a new petrol bike. This one Kampala morning while going to an e-mobility meeting, we see an e-bike at that Jinja road roundabout. I remember our conversation so I ask him to go after the e-bike guy (safely). The e-bike guy hadn’t heard so he went on riding normally but as we got within 2 meters of him, my boda guy asked: “tumuyise?” (Read: should we overtake him?) I answered in the affirmative. The e-bike guy heard us and said: “kankulageko” (let me show you what’s up). The result is what you see in the first video. We were fortunate that the road was paved, otherwise he would have left us feeding on kilograms of dust. My boda guy has since been preaching the e-bike gospel at his stage here in Muyenga and yesterday, he told me that one of his stage colleagues is saving up to buy an e-bike. It will be the first on our village stage. Exciting times!! #Kankulageko #KampalaBreathes #EmbraceEmobility
