“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

Wonder when Seattle’s Office of Sustainability and Environment is going to get the hint

People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.

This seems like a big deal

I think drivers should, generally speaking, pay something approaching the full cost of the infrastructure they use

I voted. Well, I filled out my ballot and signed it. I'll drop it off at the ballot box tomorrow. I had cake and tea and lots of open pamphlets and websites. It took about two hours. I can't imagine doing this at a polling place. No photos because ballots are secret.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

"In a cash bail system, justice depends on the size of your bank account." "[I]f you cannot pay, the fastest way out of a cell is to plead guilty, not to win and not to be found innocent but to give up." #Texas #USA #Banking #Bail #Courts #Healthcare #Incarceration

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

They‘re trolling us when they say “enjoy your flight”. Right?

Just voted in WA State. They tried to pass their anti-trans, pro-billionaire initiatives and I said, No, No, No.

AI, as a political project, is primarily focused on your devaluation. Hope this helps.

The @electioncheatsheet.org is such a great resource! Ballots are arriving soon, be prepared to vote and use the cheat sheet! electioncheatsheet.org

If you're wondering why Flock leaves cameras up after a contract end, part of their business model and marketing strategy is being able to advertise that their customers can access data from cameras all over the country. You may have canceled your contract, but the cameras still fuel the system.

We do notice when ICE shoots 2 innocent white people. We will spend months talking about it. Rightfully so. We don't notice when cops shoot two innocent Black people *a day*. No one even notices that the total amount of fascist state killings in the US have gone down under Trump relative to Biden.

Just sent mine.

Und wieder mal sind alle Schuld am Unfall, außer der verursachende Autofahrer ... #medienversagen

So, historically, men have used the privilege afforded to them by patriarchy to push the "unprofitable" work of care onto women, making it easier for them to hoard the more profitable (and thus higher-status) work for themselves. And companies encouraged this, because it meant more profits for them.

FYI, this is happening because WSF is refusing to even give engineers a cost of living adjustment in their next contract. The salary they mention here just happens to be the highest out of six. Also, it's illegal to not give them sick leave. It's not a flex!

The last company, AT&T that was forced to split due to monopolies was in 1982. 1982. There's like 5ish companies that owe all of the food market and alot of the entertainment market. Not to mention Amazon is literally in almost every field now it seems, medicine, groceries, online shopping etc.

It's insane that Pinehurst gets light rail and Ballard doesn't. Insane. Insane.

i actually don't find this moral panic of a story funny bc i can see exactly where it will go: —"intolerent lesbians harm the masculine raw dogging of air" —"controlling bitches" —"disability accomodations = oppression" —"why are transwomen allowed in lesbian bars but not unmasked cis women?"

nothing like it

The thing I love about ordering from my local bookstore is that they don't even blink twice when I spell out my first name. Anyway, support your local bookstore!

The truth was that if United Health had an AI that was accepting a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate, United Health would stop using the AI in about 0.2 seconds.

the tech bros telling you LLMs are conscious don’t think women are people.

Just in time for cars to finally get some fun colors back, office tooling has entered its sad beige phase. Looking at you, @notion.com and Linear.

The automobile got its first taste of blood 127 years ago — and it's never been able to kick the habit. buff.ly/2orTzJG

can't believe the guys who grew up reading dating manuals about negging women have turned that into their entire marketing strategy

This story buries the lede, but if you pull out a calculator and do the math, AAA found that the average American spends $15,031 a year for a single car! www.cnbc.com/2026/09/14/c...

The Onion has created a machine that will kill everyone on Earth that is coincidentally running out of money and the only way to slow it down is if my staff and I take a six-week vacation to Cabo San Lucas.

p.s. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that all of this acceleration in the hype is a reaction to the succesful and broadening opposition to their wasteful, polluting, noisy data centers.
