"Ultimately it’s a film that poses a question fundamental to #democracy: if we can’t understand a system that governs us, how much power do we actually have?"

List of screenings throughout USA: countedoutfilm.com/screenings

On #PiDay, March 14, #Monterey Public Library is hosting a free screening, for teens and adults, of #CountedOut, 4-6PM. Registration required. eventbrite.com/e/monterey-publ BTW, we won’t be surprised if @Schlining ("Turning the beauty, complexity, and wonder of the deep-sea into long strings of ones and zeros”) is among those present.
Other #MontereyCounty screenings include March 13 at #CSUMB.

From trailer: “How is it that we can use math to understand the world, and also change the world?” …“Did you know that if you insert a single statistic into an assertion, people are 92% more likely to accept it without question?”

Counted Out, from filmmaker Vicki Abeles of #RaceToNowhere.

Counted OutCounted OutCounted Out is a math documentary that investigates the biggest crises of our time—political polarization, racial and economic inequity, a global pandemic, and climate change—through an unexpected lens: math.

"NorCal Interscholastic Cycling League starts its season at Fort Ord every year….Executive Director Terry Curley says part of the appeal of biking is its inclusivity—there are no benches, so everyone gets to ride.”

Our post in memory of Christian Rodriguez Hernandez, age 17, includes how to help his family: bikemonterey.org/in-memory-of-.

Christian was killed Feb 28 while bicycling in the Monterey County city of King City. Media reports state four minors and one adult have been arrested: ksbw.com/article/teen-bike-kil. For the March 1 KC Police Dept press release (not yet on their website), refer to our post.

Tragically, Christian is not the first victim of violence while bicycling in our county—e.g., bikemonterey.org/in-memory-of-.

Among updates last night to Winter Bike Buzz are photos of people we met on the coastal trail February 16: Wyatt, Adalina, Chris, and more. bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-win

Pictured here is Wyatt, an employee of California State Parks, Monterey. Wyatt rides a Class 2 e-bike and is a great role model for sharing the trail courteously and safely with other people who bike, walk, skate, and scoot.

We’ve mentioned previously the widespread confusion about e-motorcycles, which are often inaccurately marketed as e-bikes. See bikemonterey.org/california-bi

Early this morning we published the latest issue of Bike Buzz, which mentions that and more about bikes at unsafe speeds. (See "On a multiuse trail, anytime we’re near pedestrians and others” in red box at bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-win.)

Coincidentally, a Feb 14 afternoon story from #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer David Schmalz includes a speeding e-motorcycle rider: "Wild e-bike [sic] chase in downtown Monterey ends in major firearms arrest.”montereycountynow.com/blogs/ne

Although David’s story refers to that vehicle as an “e-bike,” the Monterey Police Dept press release identified it as an e-motorcycle. files.monterey.gov/News-Releas

This is another example of why we and many other #CalBike partners issued this stmt: bikemonterey.org/california-bi

"Technologies that help us address climate change still have the potential to cause harm, and taking that seriously is crucial." technologyreview.com/2025/02/1

“The EPA tested for one of the pollutants that measures air quality index – particulate size. This is what the Monterey Bay Air Resource District (MBARD) does when it produces an evaluation of air quality. Neither agency tests for heavy metals. Heavy metals testing was done by Dr. Ivano Aiello of the Moss Landing Marine Labs around the Elkhorn Slough and by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control with Monterey County Environmental Health Department.”—Supervisor Glenn Church, District 2, Monterey County Board of Supervisors mailchi.mp/co/supervisor-churc

We encourage a thorough read of newsletter released this eve by District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire. us21.campaign-archive.com/?u=b

"When I took office two years ago, I accepted several tours of the #Vistra facility, including a tour inside the building that burned. The facility and its safety systems appeared impressive. I was personally given the guarantee that a fire similar to the one that occurred in 2022 at the neighboring PG&E / #Tesla operation could not happen at Vistra. We know that is not true. This disaster is worse.

"There has been some great #news reporting on this story, but there have also been some errors. There is a great deal of #misinformation being spread. That is because there are a lot of unknowns. I would urge everyone to doublecheck every source."
