one of several things making me crazy about the latest report on the president being a rapist is that the response more or less comes down to "we knew that already"

There was a time not too long ago when DOT could barely do ANYTHING with concrete. This is exactly what I want my tax dollars going towards...

Need some help here! Looking for examples of cargo bike and/or stroller parking at a public place like a park. Need some visual examples of how to cater to these groups, who are often ignored in public works. Doesn’t need to handle both simultaneously, though. North American is a bonus. Whatcha got?

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

AWS CloudFormation now simplifies stack update rollback operations CloudFormation now has "force rollback" to fix your broken deployments in one step instead of making you manually unfuck each resource. Took them 15 years to add an "undo harder" button. Free though!

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

💯. Drivers, you have not been deputized to use deadly force to enforce your personal interpretation of the vehicle code.

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...

If you're 72 and you don't want to die in prison, I recommend not doing multiple attempted murders with a deadly weapon in front of people with cameras 🤷‍♂️

An extremely large amount of the perception by car drivers that bicycle users are breaking laws all the time is that car drivers on average do not know the actual law at all, only vibes and ideas of what they *think* the law ought to be. Especially in Idaho Stop states.

Let them have the damn candy

🚨 BREAKING: New Mexico’s AG has sued Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime attorney and accountant, accusing them of helping finance and conceal his sex trafficking operation. The lawsuit seeks to block the two men from receiving up to $75 million in bequests from Epstein’s estate.

every college republican in 2026 is the worst person you have ever met there are basically no exceptions

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)

The director of FEMA is not allowed to do this legally. The director of OMB is not allowed to do this legally. The President of the United States is not allowed to do this legally. They're a gang of criminals, and should suffer the consequences.

Car into building, 6981 N. Clark St. B-b-b-but those bike riders should have iNsUrAnCe!!! #BikeChi 🚲🚲🚲 @bikegridnow.org @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

Elon rebranding the saints who died serving the sick as fools for having suicidal empathy

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

Those truly scary 12 year olds. Make sure to threaten them with the cops and vehicular violence.

y’all got to see this dog’s tail

I DONT WANT TO ALARM ANYONE BUT THERE WAS A PUPPY IN MY OFFICE AND HIS NAME IS ANNAKIN

Tesla stock is up on expectation people will pay $250,000 "reservation" cost for a non-flying model.

that basically explains why AI stuff blows it’s like auto-tune for ideas, like yeah you hit the note but you lose the subtlety, the richness, the soul

Seizing the passport, phones, and computer of an opposition lawmaker is straight-up authoritarianism. There is no other way to describe it. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I can't imagine installing vibe-coded software on any of my devices. Holy crap, the security issues alone are a nightmare, let alone getting bricked, or losing data, or unknown code failures outputting false data.

RIP Pedestrians

This was the truck leaving. Again to another site but still disruption.
