“Cyclists think they own the roads!” “Oh, are they demanding the whole road be dedicated to bikes?” “No, but they want a bike lane. They should know that are for cars!” “So who’s the one claiming to own the roads?”

We’re not laughing despite aging being cruel. We’re laughing bc we’re going to have a week long celebration when this man dies.

Robert Komaniecki@komaniecki.bsky.social

I know aging is cruel and comes for us all. I know there is no shame in getting older. But I cannot stop laughing at the sound he makes in this clip and his subsequent shocked reaction

Any other sexual identities and their people you’d like to comment on while you’re at it?

Micah@rincewind.run

I’m not going to say that every single dude who “discovers he’s poly” in his 40s is a dirtbag but let’s just say the track record is less than great

I get that people like to still call it twitter for nostalgia. I feel like that is whitewashing the fact that it now is owned by a Nazi.

Robert Komaniecki@komaniecki.bsky.social

Current state of election twitter: Dems: We have a lead in NC that is growing daily. Good sign for us! GOP: Yes but we are slowing the rate at which your lead is expanding in NC. Good sign for us!

Stop giving money to build new highways. We built all we needed to.

Yonah Freemark@yonahfreemark.com

The federal Highway Trust Fund, which funds road & transit, faces a >$318 billion shortfall by 2036. How can Congress address this? —Cut spending by 40% —Increase the gas tax —Implement new taxes (VMT, registration) —Transfer from the general fund We lay it out: taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/congr...

I have seen zero ads for street fighter and I didn’t even know it is a movie out now?? I saw You Can See Everything on Friday. What a trip!

Vulture@vulture.com

‘You Can See Everything’ beat ‘Melania’ to become the highest-opening non-musical documentary in 10 years. It came in at number 2 at the box office, behind ‘Street Fighter’ but well above ‘Whalefall.’

It’s way less real than fully self driving cars which we have been promised every year for 10 years. It’s a scam. It’s made to draw you in. IT’S A SCAM!! It always is with Elon’s “inventions”.

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Ij my observation, It’s not about technology replacing jobs in general, it’s about robots and AI invading our physical world. You can call it a vibes thing if you want.

Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social

“I don’t want AI to replace artists and writers” is a humanist sentiment but “I don’t want robots to replace delivery drivers” just comes across as regressive to me.

Some car brained New Yorkers will say that the MTA is a bad service compared to the best in the world. Ask them if they want to take steps those other cities have taken and suddenly it’s whoa whoa whoa we’re not Paris over here.

🤦‍♂️ not surprised, just disappointed

Morgan Johnson@poormojo.bsky.social

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I haven’t seen the Shane Gilles episode yet but I may have spoken too soon.

CJ Young@youngdrum.bsky.social

I thought Jaylen Brunson had a rough SNL, but Dakota Johnson, a trained actor, was even more disappointing. Looking forward to better episodes soon!

This is why I don’t go on X and you should either and you shouldn’t post screenshots from there

If you are arguing that there is no innocent [person of any nationality whatsoever] then you are making the case for genocide

I believe that the umbrella is one of the most elegant and usefull inventions of all time. A lightweight portable roof! How convenient!

Brandon - "Fietser"@americanfietser.bsky.social

Umbrella use is an indicator sign of a healthy city. People used to actively moving about their urban spaces know that simple tools mitigate weather concerns. Alternatively, this is why you see North Americans getting soaked in the rain. They know nothing beyond car to door, door to car transit.

I am in the program and made $160 this summer from using the batteries

Warren Wells, AICP@warrenjwells.bsky.social

Very cool. A program in NYC gave 2 kWh batteries to families in order to let them run the AC during peak demand and charging the battery at night when energy is cheap. I predict a time when it will be weird that houses didn't have batteries. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

In case you’re wondering, I support drag queens reading to kids and I think frats can be incubators for some of the worst behavior. I just think posts like this are really stupid clickbait.

Triads: the basic bitch of chords

Robert Komaniecki@komaniecki.bsky.social

Just saw a music theory explainer video entitled "triads are easy as shit if you're not a dumbass" and I think I'll make that the title of my next MUS 100 class slideshow

I visited Seattle for exatcly one afternoon and evening a couple weeks ago and I already love the light rail. It’s so nice and smooth and clean and quiet!

Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social

Sound Transit planned a "small" celebration today for Pinehurst but once again underestimated how much people in Seattle LOVE TRANSIT. This place is packed.

Games where both starting pitchers made final reg season MLB appearance & played in at least 12 seasons: 9/27/1945 Paul Derringer (15 seasons) Vern Kennedy (12) 9/4/1916 Christy Mathewson (17) Mordecai Brown (14) Justin Verlander & Kirby Yates today would be the 3rd @EliasSports

Watching Justin Verlander retire was an amazing moment. Just like Mariano Rivera, Kobe Bryant, and all the greats, it’s such an emotional moment. The end of a giant career, achieving all they could have wished for. It’s almost like a funeral. Having his daughter greet him on the mound was 😭 😭 😭

Highest incarceration rate in the world!

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

Holy crap. Susan Collins is finished. What a corrupt POS. I hope she goes to prison for this. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

It still holds true that when someone posts a screenshot gotcha without a link to the full story, they are intentionally hiding or misleading their readers. And I agree with Max on most things tbh.

Guy who has never been to New York City or the San Francisco Bay Area: rich people would NEVER move into modest homes built for the middle class.

The entire thing comes down to housing prices. That’s it.

Gremliny Nussboo@emilynussbaum.bsky.social

I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel

A lot of victim blaming going on for cyclist fatality yesterday involving two teenage girls Headlines should be: “Cyclist killed by heavy truck driver with low visibility off of a truck route on street where DOT has not built protected cycling infrastructure” (14th east of 1st not a truck route)

This is blind cope. LLM could pay someone to do the work that is needed to break containment. No carelessness involved at all.
