My Christmas wish is that one day our sidewalks will be as wide as our trucks.🎄🎅

Your car is too big.

As someone who has been riding local & intercity buses my whole life, I completely agree. Dislike of buses is largely but not completely class bias. One thing that would help greatly is to deal with screechy disk brakes & noxious diesel fumes.

The genius of capitalism, so to speak, is to convert necessities into luxuries and luxuries into necessities.

apparently in the US the "Christmas pickle" is believed to be a German tradition even though it was probably just invented in the 1890s by American department stores

Kids these days.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to everyone working through this holiday season: first responders, health care workers, service members and many others. Thank you for everything you do!

Woman who starts riding a bike not sure if she should be a poor unemployed loser who can't afford a car or an elite smug entitled asshole with a toy, asks neighbourhood Facebook group to help out.

I propose that clearing right-of-ways for people inside of motor vehicles but not for people outside of motor vehicles is a violation of the (US) Equal Protection clause. #PlowSidewalksToo

Flex posts protect cars, not cyclists.

Dem wannabes in 2028 need to start talking about detrumpification now.

Here’s the 60 Minutes video that Bari Weiss & the Trump Admin don’t want you to see: www.icloud.com/photos/#/icl...

I still maintain that our discourse would be vastly improved by making a distinction between 'political' and 'partisan.'

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

It's so frustrating that, even within the disability community, the real problems non-driving disabled people experience now are largely ignored in favour of the hypothetical problems associated with an intervention that nobody with the power to effect it is proposing or supports (banning cars).

We all need to password-protect our relatives. Establish some challenge questions like at your bank's website.

If Waymo jams keeps occurring, people will start reporting "Maple Street is down," like when the ATM is down

Well played

One of the biggest tricks of the car industry was convincing us that parking private cars is a public responsibility, turning shared space into free storage for personal vehicles.

I wish I had a way to block posts with boxing pictures and videos.

If all of those Epstein redactions were done manually, then a bunch of people saw stuff that they can someday describe to the press.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I been doing this for a while I also use the bag tags to label plugs

This is what American families have to look forward to.

NOW REVEALED: The true function of bread bag tags.

"Has feminism failed women" is just like asking "Has freedom failed black people".

When It Happens, we all go out on our porches, balconies, front stairs, whatever, and bang pots & pans. Blow whistles. Shout it to the heavens. The one good excuse for contraband fireworks.

I've written about this before, but the usefulness of cars as transportation is predicated on breaking the law, even laws that are appropriate and directly implicated in safety. This is something we should maybe grapple with, societally!

Kids who got new bikes for Christmas, "super excited" to walk them around the city that's too dangerous to ride in. www.creativebyrovelo.com/therovelorec...

Radiators are underrated. Nice warm gloves when I leave the house.

Accurate.

People have rightly noted that news coverage of crashes is largely determined by police reports. Understaffed newsrooms can't dig deeper, so use them almost exclusively, eg, bsky.app/profile/obcy... A different structural aspect of car news is automotive journalism. Here's Jonathan Gitlin, 1/n

OK, yes, I laughed at this.

I ❤️ NY

NYC and other places are just now installing bike lockers, something that Rochester, NY did over 30 years ago. I know because I rented one back in the day. They were eventually discontinued. Democrat & Chronicle, July 5, 1992, p. 40.

🧵 The responsibility for sidewalk snow removal hinges on one question: are sidewalks public or private property? In my city, they are part of the public right-of-way. They are not private property. #PlowSidewalksToo
