Every time I go on a long bike ride in a city I am sad at the bathrooms that do not exist. Saw more public bathrooms in a single park in Youngstown Ohio than might exist in all of Providence’s parks combined.
Lack of access to bathrooms was a major problem on our ride today. Minneapolis, you need some improvements here.
Thanks Helena for the Costco? Anyway I guess I have biked to Bryant University so I could bike here but West Homestead PA and Everett MA were way easier to bike to from Pittsburgh and Somerville respectively
#Breaking: We've learned Rhode Island is finally getting a Costco. Get updates here as we work to gather more information: https://www.wpri.com/business-news/ris-first-costco-is-coming-to-smithfield/

We installed a very modest battery setup behind our meter, along with solar. The (pricey) local utility now buys back power when there would be demand spikes, and I am happy to take away some of the need for that peak gas usage. Tickled, honestly
Quick explainer: Peakers are the gas plants utilities turn on when demand spikes, like on a hot afternoon when everyone turns up the AC. Batteries can do that job now, and they cost less. ⚡ https://bit.ly/47topWW

It feels wrong to be glad to see this, because it normalizes the way we are failing people, but it is still better than the alternative.
Ohio’s Cincinnati Public Schools is the first district in the nation to own and operate a parking lot where families experiencing homelessness can go to at night and sleep in their cars, and has served more than 300 people since opening this past spring ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/14/c...
Economy so bad, even the place we can make affordable suggestive jokes about is going under.
Poundland could fall into administration ‘within days’, thousands of jobs at risk. It has been owned multiple times by private equity and never recovered, over £253m debt. Misleading name. Many items priced at more than a Pound. Shoppers didn't return.
