lowly worm putting a sticker on his apple car "i bought this before mr frumble went crazy"

Will they light up the NW Indiana refineries like this?

Ska Goes the Mayor

If you live in a city you shouldn't have to own a car.

Stewart Hicks and JB is the collab we never knew we needed

As though it's impossible to find a stock photo of a person with a bike in a park

Reach right to save lives. The Dutch Reach uses your far hand to open your car door, forcing you to pivot and check for oncoming cyclists. 🚴 It’s simple. It’s common sense. Let’s keep each other safe this summer! @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

Imagine renting an apartment for decades and then deciding to buy a house, but then you realize that property taxes exist so you tear down the house to lower your taxes, and after that beg the city for decades of tax breaks in exchange for building a new house on the now-empty lot. Pound sand.

Riley O’Neil, a biking advocate and Chicago Department of Transportation worker, died after he was hit with a car door and thrown into oncoming traffic earlier this month. In the Loop sits down with local organizers and cyclists to discuss building safer streets in Chicago.

The single family home, the most unaffordable kind of home in a high-cost area, just gets to skate on by without being subjected to the crazy requirements we stack onto multifamily housing. It drives me insane.

Speed cameras on every arterial

It's been great watching suburban mayors rally together to hamstring the future of their downtowns

This Wall Street Journal headline might be the thing that breaks me

www.goodnewsnetwork.org/bostonians-w... Besides the less traffic, which is awesome, it also means there's less garbage being pumped into the air. This is a tangible, real effect of creating more bike lanes in cities. This is a very #goodthing! #positivity #positivevibes

Sounds like the type of actions you should be impeached over

Happy “Brick” by Ben Folds Five Day to all who celebrate

Vatican City to be relocated to The 78

Taking the whole lane ✔️ Distracted (singing) ✔️ No helmets ✔️ No lights ✔️ No reflective vests ✔️ Riding in a pack ✔️ The textbook radical anti-car cyclists our culture despises.

Does hot sauce only exist so that parents can eat the whole meal they prepared for themselves?

Eagerly awaiting the Brown Line to Jefferson Park beavers

All of this except the part that requires time in Florida

I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.

National Guard is now tasked with picking up garbage in DC

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for motorists when they see a bike lane

The state choosing what occupations people can work in. Sounds like communism.

White supremacists doing white supremacist stuff

Blessed be Chicago.

It’s a difficult time for young men, growing up in a culture that no longer provides them with strong role models like Robert Wadlow, the fat biker twins, or the Indian guy with the long fingernails

Walkable neighborhoods getting 25% more attractive this week

"...for every 30-second increase in traffic delay per mile traveled, there was a 1% increase in visits to fast food restaurants. While that may not seem like a lot, the researchers estimate that over a year, it amounts to about 1.2 million more fast food meals in Los Angeles."

So many people who used school closures as their reason for supporting fascists are supporting a regime that is trying to destroy the public school system.

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

Gonna tell my kids this was Elon and Trump

It's not complicated.

Huge congrats to Canada's 11th province on recognizing The Gulf Of Connor McDavid. Premier Trump will be sending out a press release shorty.

Oh damn Prime actually published their failed chatgpt prompt in the description

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

If you drive in winter, the most pro-social thing you can do is just have patience. Slow down. Wait for pedestrians. Wait for cyclists. Park farther away and walk if you need to in order to keep bike lanes and bus stops and crosswalks clear. You’re in a mobile living room, you’ll be fine.
