Alright history buffs, what did they grind off of this plaque in Independence?

Kansas City people, heads up. Councilman Darrell Curls is introducing a new resolution to reopen Blue River Road & kill the current work being done to make this an official trail like Cliff Drive in the Historic North East. Please email today docs.google.com/document/d/1...

night two, chirp continues. talked to this neighbor, they denied responsibility

Absolute scenes from Toronto, where a critical mass of lovely human beings on bikes has seen off the trucks sent (by the culture-warring Premier Doug Ford) to rip out the bike lanes... ...while chanting "get home safe" to the workers 🥹 Inspirational, iconic, great work @cycletoronto.bsky.social!

Another example of why there’s no “agree to disagree” on the fundamental dignity of people. Unless the social penalties for being a bigot are massive it will just keep getting worse.

Thought I could lure a raccoon out from under the porch with a plate of food, but I'm playing checkers and she's playing chess

Yep the bike lane is the rational and reasonable place to put a traffic control sign for drivers. @mayorq.bsky.social can we take action against these contractors who fail to consider any other users except for drivers when placing signs? These are a danger & hindrance to everyone not in a car.

disband NHTSA, expand NTSB

Hi friends: I haven't written an article in three months. Here's why, and how my experience as a caregiver to a person I love with a disabling, terminal illness upended most of what I think about car dependency and transportation reform.

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

Maybe it will happen tomorrow

Republicans have spent the last year trying to defund Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton was universally loved because she was a rich person who knew what it was like to be poor, stayed down to earth, and spent her life giving back to others who were less fortunate. The oligarchs who don’t understand why everyone hates them probably won’t learn from this. But they should

If you thought Kansas City's vroom-vroom bros were bad, you should check out downtown Lincoln. And by that I mean you should definitely avoid downtown Lincoln 😒

Car-blindness is real! Psychologists or sociologists should study this. Giant two-ton boxes flying all around us, piloted by people who have been rendered psychopaths, regularly injuring & killing our neighbors, and many/most people just ... don't register it. It's just background noise.

Bottle service!

Douchebag phone driver with shitty tattoos decides against repeating his death threat on camera, waits for the green light to try and share his water with me (fails)

2 senators down after posting a flag missing 2 stars... DOES ANYONE HAVE AN EVEN OLDER FLAG I CAN VISIT? 🕯️🧙🏻‍♂️🕯️

*Alaska and Hawaii excluded, void where prohibited

Feral porch cat did not hear my approach. I sought consent; it was not given.

Jim Glover razed a neighborhood to TIF a couple of big box stores. What prevents us from using eminent domain again to put the housing back where it belongs?

Do a big Dad Thing with me: we're buying our own bike lane sweeper to clean the paths the city can't (or won't) bikewalkkc.org/sweeper/ I can't wait to pull this thing around the neighborhood!

"Who is Prince Andrew?"

Seven years ago today I tried an ebike on a lunch hour. Yesterday I "raced" 128 miles on dirt. What's next?

I wanted to call out from my porch to a friend pedalling by, but the oncoming driver meant distraction could be deadly. I let him go in silence. Cars really do ruin everything.

NASA #Artemis II flyby coverage schedule; all times in Eastern. You can follow along live on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) or on the NASA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@NASA). It should be amazing to watch!

Good chance the muscle car parked outside my house was stolen and dumped. I could report it, but since it's not the kind of vehicle that should be driven within earshot of society, I'ma let this fucker sit in timeout.

You heard: space toilet broken. I heard: successful test of the Collapsible Contingency Urinal ttu-ir.tdl.org/server/api/c...

at least it's just an amber fault light and not a brown one... yet

I will never ever understand the people who race-walk through the terminal only to freeze like a statue when they touch an escalator. Where did your hustle go, friend? They're speedy stairs, not a teleporter

Any group rides in Chicago this week or is it too cold? #bikechi

wx sirens in midtown now for... what?

Starting the new Star Trek game with my Voyager super-fan kids: "haha fuck yeah! yes!!" Me not getting to play today because they have homework and piano lessons: "well this fucking sucks. what the fuck."

Flexpost cosplaying as bollard. Safety is an illusion.

Fuck you, MODOT.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.
