I'll just leave at this: The best way to make money at photography is to sell all your gear.

Hey, how's everyone doing? 👋🏽 Make sure to check in on each other every once in a while.

Thanks @bikenewyork.bsky.social for a great Five Boro Bike Tour. It's another way to help people imagine Life After Cars.

People often cross where it makes sense, not just at intersections. A new Milwaukee study shows why better midblock data could help agencies design safer streets. ssti.us/2026/04/27/p...

I asked someone if they have time later this week, thinking it was Tuesday. What are we doing, chat

I voted for Harris, and I get scolded because I have sympathy for people who have given up on the current process.

Big "oil" could have stayed in the energy business forever by using their scandalous profits to lavishly fund the kind of renewable energy research the Chinese politburo invested in. They could have sold essential technology all over the world. Instead, they bought bigger boats. Idiots.

I love scraping the ice off my windshield on (checks notes) April 20th.

Science literacy rates are at an all time low

This is why the term “cognitive surrender” needs to start being used QUICKLY. It actually clearly defines what these fools want.

reps.fyi

Sick and tired of grift posters who point out government happenings and tell us "this should terrify us all". No, fuck you, it should piss us off. Being scared of these electeds shouldn't be the default reaction. In a proper democracy, they should be terrified of going against the people.

same Overton Window-shattering tactic he’s always used: Even if worst doesn’t happen tonight - rhetorically he’s opened up possibility of the unimaginable, making lesser (but still horrible) actions seem moderate by comparison… all increasing likelihood that one day the worst really will happen

35%. He's threatening to perform a massive war crime, quite possibly even pressing the big red button. And his approval rating is still at thirty-five motherfucking percent. Reconstruction 2.0 can't ever possibly go far enough but we sure should try.

Transportation politics is about dragging people kicking and screaming into change that results fairly quickly in a widespread consensus that we can't imagine going back to the way it was before.

The most impressive part is that absolutely nothing will shake off the absurdly high 30% approval rating baseline. Not even this.

If you're concerned about Bluesky being better, then I'd encourage you to Repost things you like and want others to see. Hitting Like doesn't do much here. Low effort PSA.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE. Feed platforms need your help today. Server costs are high and prices are rising. If you enjoy custom feeds like Urbanism+ then please donate. These services are what powers your favorite feeds and their futures are being threatened. Or donate because you hate Attie 🔥

probably completely obvious but the reason Project Hail Mary is doing so well (apart from being very well made) is that it is all about problem-solving, cooperation, self-sacrifice, and forming deep relationships with those from far away. All values that people feel a desperate need for right now.

We need to develop and build affordable housing in our city, just not… in anyone’s backyard, laneway, front yard, along a corridor, never on an avenue, heritage supersede housing and we all understand that under utilized parking lots are the heart of the neighbourhood.

we’re not going to get anywhere until we stop letting companies pay millions in settlements instead of putting their leadership in fucking jail

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

The leading cities in Europe for alternative transportation still has cars yah dummies, lmao. I safely rode bikes in Paris and Amsterdam and still saw plenty of cars. Yet Paris has seen a huge decrease in air pollution and much less traffic. I'm so tired of this talking point, no one is banning.

No big conspiracy.

oh ok

If you think about it, why WOULD it be the responsibility of cities to provide free parking for everyone’s cars? #UrbanTruth

This story is infuriating. The piece goes to great lengths to establish empathy for the women who negligently killed an entire family. The idea that it's unreasonable to permanently revoke her driving privileges and make her plead guilty to a crime is fucking outrageous.

Defending street parking for commerce ignores that a 2-meter tall SUV completely hides the business behind it. Car bloat creates physical barriers. Human-scale transit keeps sightlines clear and storefronts inviting.
