If you don't live in a "swing state," your vote counts less. But we can reform the Electoral College and fix that. Since we made this video, Maine and now Virginia have joined the National Popular Vote compact. Here's what you need to know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXPwJqSdLfE

Six hundred miles on the ebike I bought last Labor Day weekend! It was second hand, had only 58 miles on it when I got it.

The problem with granting drivers the presumption of innocence, no matter what, is that it offloads the presumption of guilt onto pedestrians and cyclists. #WindshieldBias

We already can. The Epstein class walks free.

Um, no, people in the suburbs also have to get to restaurant and retail jobs that do not adhere to the 9-5 office model.

Do we really want a world of perfect automobiles?

Thank you for using #DriverNotCar.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

Where should bicyclists be? ❌in the road (GTFOOMW) ❌on the sidewalk (it's the sideWALK) ❌in a bike lane (bike lanes bad) ❌on a bus (nobody rides the bus) ❌on foot (reckless) ✅in a car

On a related note, maybe it is really stupid to let an outgoing US president have 3 months to sabotage who knows what before the next president is sworn in.

Sometimes I wonder if Evangelicals actually read the Left Behind series, or just parked them on a prominent shelf.

Not a single penny to any Dem who trots out "I'm looking to the future, not the past" platitudes or signals blanket amnesty. One Merrick Garland was enough.

Cat dads FTW!

This is one of a few reasons that I do not trust unleashed dogs and am glad my city has a leash law

If you think "USians" is a bad substitute for "Americans" (and I do), consider that the minor league hockey team in Rochester, NY is called the Amerks, short for Americans. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochest...

"The future doesn’t ask permission from old narratives." 💯

If, like me, you dislike making telephone calls but don't know why, this might explain it.

Two recent studies have re-examined risk of birds colliding with rotor blades of wind turbines. Research found that there was not a single collision. "The results from Aberdeen Bay show that modern offshore wind farms can be operated with low risk to wildlife." www.euronews.com/2026/04/11/t...

(Democrat does bad thing) Republicans: We condemn this. Democrats: We condemn this. (Republican does bad thing) Democrats: We condemn this. Republicans: Your guy did it too.

Every car in your city represents $8-12K/year being sucked out of your local economy instead of being spent on housing, goods & services. I wish more retailers & elected officials understood this. #WindshieldBias #CarBlindness #CarBrain

I am not going to let @surj.org forget this

Never forget, it’s not enough to tell the truth, especially in the age of disinformation. You have to tell it well. REALLY well. Our collaborator @streetfilms.bsky.social has been doing that for a long time. His short, simple, excellent video below is a good example. youtube.com/watch?v=A0Kl...

if you’re a dude reading this like “gawrsh this is awful what can i do” it is 100% to shut down your cousins / friends / bros when they do shit like this. Shame them. Impose social stigma for them lesser weevils who think harassing marginalized people in creative industries is OK

No one is louder or more profane than a driver caught in the wrong. #WindshieldBias

Also, can media stop saying that a man 'vehemently' or 'strenuously' denies an 'accusation' - unless it's also accompanied by equal-weight wording that a woman has 'steadfastly' or 'bravely' made a 'report'?

Hey, it's just like how we ban kids from playing or walking in their neighbourhood instead of making them safe by regulating drivers. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Gonna spell this out, guys. If a woman wants to see pictures of your junk, she will ask you.

Done!

"Oh, hello, Warm Lap Food Supply." My cats greeting me by name.

This, in my opinion, is a Good bike rack.

Re-upping this because I tinkered with something at the back end and it blanked out all of my blog posts. They have now been restored. Thank you, @wordpress.org. #Ooops #Fixed

Accelerating, even slowly, toward someone in front of you is vehicular bullying.

If, like me, you dislike making telephone calls but don't know why, this might explain it.

I ❤️ NY

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Dear international friends, Do not travel to the United States this summer for the World Cup. It isn't safe for us, and it's absolutely not safe for you. Sincerely, An American citizen

I would love a strictly elephants feed on here.

Google’s AI Overviews are providing “tens of millions of wrong answers … every hour — and hundreds of thousands every minute.” wow, i love the AI future!

So good. Thank you for explaining this so eloquently.

Username cropped to avoid dog piling, but what if we responded to posts like these with "Great! What are you doing to advocate for the infrastructure improvements you say you want? Are you defending roadway reallocation from your local NIMBYs?"

I think people who are not cyclists do not quite understand how often those of us who bike are told that we deserve to die because we have chosen a mode of transit that isn't a car

The 4 stages of #bicycle policy: 1. Bikes are obstacles (outright bans) 2. Bikes are toys (OK, your kids can ride around their subdivision) 3. Bikes are exercise (paths in parks that you drive to) 4. Bikes are transportation (you can mostly get from A to B without risking death)

This is one of the principal reasons that "driver training!" will not work to keep road users outside cars safe - it's not that drivers don't know how to drive safely around us or even that they don't care; it's terrifyingly common for drivers to think we deserve it.

Reminder to drivers: You have not been deputized to enforce the rules of the road that you made up in your own head.

The right's pitch for women's submission is that it will cause men to provide, protect, and cherish women. Turns out the opposite is true. Research shows conservative men see tradwives as lazy parasites. They loathe them. www.salon.com/2026/04/08/w...

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

I still want to see Mamdani on a Zamboni.
