What is the story about the Hyde Park music convertible car man? There's gotta be one.

poll: what mode of travel (🚶, 🚲, 🚍, 🚇, 🚘) do you most commonly use to buy groceries? or do you most commonly get groceries delivered?

The colors at sunrise were *insane* this morning. The sky, the fall colors at Promontory Point, the lake...Sheesh! Sure picked a good morning to wake up early

Not to ruin anyone’s Sunday afternoon, but Brazilians are voting for president today. We’ll start getting returns at 4pm ET, and, based on the results of the first round it’d be a clear surprise if Lula survives against Bolsonaro — even if polls have tightened in the last two weeks.

Cars out. Life in. Tel Aviv, Kikar HaMoshavot #beforeandafterTLV

True as a general principle but do we know why the “push button to open door” doors keep the motor engaged when being operated manually, thus making the door very difficult to open?

It's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know.

We absolutely 100% must reform the pardon.

The main beneficiaries of tolls and congestion pricing is...drivers!

I can call (even with video!) my overseas relatives for free, instead of $1/minute crackly phone line.

Vivek Ramaswamy has been a horrible person in public for so long that until a friend reminded me, I totally forgot that I wrote a letter to the editor blasting his opposition to a living wage for campus workers more than *two decades ago*

Lee Bey update: The Merv Griffin Museum of Science and Industry refuses to release concepts they rejected, tries to justify its disfigurement of Atwood's 1893 officially designated landmark with renderings that only reveal the seemingly impossible: it's even worse than we thought. bit.ly/3ULjDRP

China now has more high speed rail than Canada has . . . rail

“Rail operates around the clock daily” All ‘L’ stations had 24 hour service from the mid 1890s until the mid 1990s!

Adults have extreme survivorship bias when setting expectations for children as road users. You made it to adulthood without being a victim of traffic violence by nothing more than dumb luck. You weren't a special genius child with parents who trained you in traffic jiu jitsu. You were lucky.
