#FYI for #TOPoli “I absolutely believe politics should destroy your relationships. You think abolitionists and slave owners were having dinner together after a day of work?” - Abi Adamson h/t @kayehm.bsky.social

“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.

I am 100x more likely to patronize a new small business with a cheap sign in Comic Sans and menus in Papyrus than one with AI-generated slop graphics. I will actively avoid the latter actually.

Has anyone else noticed that when you tell youtube not to show you most ads, it still makes you finish watching the ad but when if you tell it not to show you an add for progressive politicians or ballot items, it immediately ends the playback of that ad? #election

State agencies asking for lists of stuff to shore up ahead of El Niño, meanwhile the third-busiest rail corridor in the country be like

@americanfietser.bsky.social et al, Has anyone ever found a proper replacement for the original PUBLIC "Trieste" coffee cup holder? I had one of these on my old bike that was stolen and when I ordered one for the new bike, it was a totally different (and terrible) design! OG only fit one size bar

Quick reminder that the main justification behind California High-Speed Rail is that it's still the cheapest way of addressing the shortage of passenger capacity linking the northern and southern California megaregions. It really is that boring; that's why opponents have to make it a culture war.

Here's my explanation of how my being a car enthusiast does not clash with but rather compliments my also being a stalwart #urbanist, #transit advocate, and #cycling advocate

Did a bunch of canyon-carving this afternoon before the global economy implodes more...

Enjoy this cute video of a sparrow taking a bath on my terrace

Hey @discord.com , you managed to get my age right but you're never getting another cent from me. I cancelled my Nitro months ago and it's never getting reactivated

Or you could just ride a bus to BART (or to any other transit agency) and get up to $2.85 deducted from the fare immediately, not a future credit like this is. I’ve been using the free transfers from BART to AC Transit a lot for Transit Month. Those discounts add up!

Murder has always been legal provided your choice of weapon is a car (i wish i could honestly put "/s" after this)

The ppl caving to this anti-trans hysteria and hate-mongering are sick in the head and have no business being allowed anywhere near a position of power where they can infect our society with even more of their sickness.

DOME

This should've been done years ago. We need a statewide Dept of Rail with the power to act NOW

Doug Ford knew that banning speed cameras in Ontario would cost lives. He did it anyway. He also knows that banning and removing protected bike-lanes in Ontario will cost lives. He did it anyway. Every resulting life stupidly cut short is on him.

what the hell is going on downtown right now? this police helicopter is circling and blasting noise from a loudspeaker? @sacbee.com @kcranews.bsky.social

What's this gill-a-teen thing I keep reading about? Some kind of 18th century revolutionary furry subsect?

Just saw a shady ad from the California Retailer's Association pleading for consumers to oppose AB2564 on the grounds it'll "stop retailers from offering you coupons and discounts" What does it actually do? It bans surveillance pricing. You can and should google every bill you get an ad about

Sometimes I wonder what the distribution of motivation is for the criminal acts of theft/self-enrichment of this administration: how much is just boring old greed and how much is knowing they will need to pay private armies to protect them and their families for generations given how hated they are.

I was at a community org meeting last night where a city employee gave a great presentation but fellow civil servants and planners/consultants, I beg of you, do not call things "AI" unless you know for a fact they are. Speed and Red Light camera enforcement predates the current AI craze by decades.

We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.

Podcasters, I beg of you, BALANCE YOUR AUDIO FEEDS. There are two new podcasts that I love but which have one host always very loud and the other very quiet such that I'm riding the volume knob constantly to keep myself from missing anything or going deaf.

I'm tired of quiet, gradual change.

In the Netherlands, you will often see paths such as this one. Separated, wide, and surrounded by greenery. By making cycling infrastructure safe and enjoyable, it is less of a hurdle to travel by bike.

Message to younger self: Never try and fake familiarity with or knowledge of something in order to impress a guy. Just be honest, listen to their interests, and show them the version of yourself that YOU are happiest being.

Rightfully so!

Remember. Unions ARE the compromise.

Folks, you really probably don't need that SUV or pickup "in case you have to move something bulky". For reference see every Miata owner ever and the home delivery services of your local appliance retailer. @americanfietser.bsky.social

I don't know who needs to hear this but... It is...like...SO easy... SO goddamn easy... To NOT be a shitty human being

Cars buy ZERO stuff “For the first time in four years, St-Denis Street has lost its pedestrian-only status and is open to cars for the summer. Business owners and event organizers say the decline in foot traffic is disrupting operations during what should be a busy season.” youtu.be/DymPPZufAQM?...
