Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

Thanks for this coverage. People are working tirelessly and protesting to defend life saving infrastructure. All while authorities try to stop and arrest them. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/10/21/p...

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

Elon has spent more this election cycle than any individual donor ever. Please register to vote and ensure he can’t buy the results he wants!

World wide sales of EVs exceeded the sales of gas vehicles this year. In China EVs now account for 96% of new vehicle sales. Light duty vehicles account for 90 to 91% of gasoline usage. Seems to me that O & G might not be a great investment in the future.

Never in the history of car culture did they get infrastructure space and did not ask for more.

I am begging the "eBikes are causing injuries" crowd to give even half as much concern for the constant injury and death caused by cars.

Cities everywhere are discussing the dangers of e-bikes in cities.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Once you see it, there's no going back.

Forgiving infrastructure assumes people make mistakes. A person on a bike who loses their balance and falls shouldn't pay for it with their life just because there was no buffer between them and a vehicle 100 times their weight.

40% of *everything being shipped everywhere on Earth* is fossil fuels Just an absolute laughing-stock clown-show of an energy source. This is laughably absurd, why do we treat this like it's normal and good Fossil fuels are a satirical fuel www.irena.org/-/media/File...

We want a ban on AI data centers. Ban them here. Ban them there. Ban them everywhere. Ban ban ban ban ban. AZ § 12-1134: www.azleg.gov/ars/12/01134...

On Prop 40: "We’ve tried to keep this simple because it is actually pretty simple, and because particular kinds of complexity and nuance can be and are being and will be very instrumentally used—ideologically and misleadingly—to obscure that simplicity" www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/voting-guide...

Over $9 million is coming to the local region for alternative transportation projects in Geneseo, Newark, Attica, and Brighton.

Fuck...and I REALLY mean this...Doug Ford. What a disgrace. Protected bike lanes save lives, give a boost to local businesses, and allow children to get to school on their own. There is nothing fiscally conservative about this move. It's expensive populist nonsense intended to divide us.

shame

@cityofrochester.bsky.social let's go

Friends, Sad news! Our dear friend #MajorJasonWatson will face a historic general court-martial, the military's most severe trial! He remains in pretrial confinement. His attorney told @cnn.com the conditions amount to "cruel and unusual" solitary confinement. Want to help? Keep posting about him!

Thank you, America! Money from diesel will help me kill even more Ukrainian children.

Dutch cycling infrastructure during the school run, showing why safe infrastructure is vital if we want children to cycle to school. From a fietsstraat, where bikes have priority, to protected cycle tracks where cars must give way to bikes at every junction. Safe, convenient cycling for everyone.

Zelensky accused Trump of reaching agreements with Putin “behind Ukraine’s back” while Kyiv’s delegation is in Florida. He said the US is giving Russia “additional money to wage war” and called Ukraine’s team a “smokescreen” for a decision that is “unfair” and “not partner-like.” #Ukraine

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The gauntlet is down. Clock is ticking for vids showing five bags of cement, a ladder, and a cement mixer being hauled around on/by cargo bike.

Sidewalks that dump pedestrians into the street for the benefit of turning cars is hostile design. It shouldn't be allowed design in any proper city. 90° corners direct behavior and force motorists to slow their speed and pay attention. This is how you create safe streets.

If we would mandate that the "oversized" parking spots be farther from the store/venue, that might be enough of a disincentive. Many oversized drivers hate walking from the back of the parking lot.

Everywhere you look there's public concern and even outrage over ebikes, largely brought on by emotos, but that's not what bothers me. What bothers me is the blind eye to Suburbans, Tahoes, Wagoneers, and lifted commuter pickup trucks making our streets truly deadly and no one even takes notice.

When you shape roads for people, not machines: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/10/04/m...

The woman out here outright admitting she thinks her car is more important than human lives.

All painted bike lanes are car infrastructure. The engineers have checked a box, while still allowing at-will, unimpeded movement by motorists in the heart of a major city. This design only serves those who are comfortable being uncomfortable.

Spot on! 🎯

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

you can't let crazy people have nuclear weapons. -- Trump
