New Neko Case AND Jeff Tweedy AND Cate Le Bon, out now? Well shut my mouth and call it a fine, fine Geezer Music Friday!

Getting my train freak on.

It’s never too late to start over.

"In 2000, a traffic signal was installed. While the signal reduced overall crashes, deadly and serious injury crashes went up. Finally in 2014, a roundabout was installed. In the 11 years since, there has not been a single fatal crash" Roundabouts FTW www.transportation.ohio.gov/about-us/new...

Seeing framing like this makes me want to scream.

One of life’s great joys.

Not to be that guy, but Chris Meloni’s suit at the #emmys might be the ugliest garment I’ve ever seen.

VdV avenged! #coys

And 10 seconds later, Bergvall with a brilliant header. Excellent. Crazy it’s his first PL goal!

Wow, instant red card. This game’s suddenly interesting #coys

The nice thing about the bus is that it either shows up or it doesn’t, while train on @metrolosangeles.bsky.social will show up and then you wait for minutes on the bridge over the 101 for…reasons.

Assemblymember Lee, a pro-housing progressive Democrat, agrees! If we can't build housing near transit, where will we build it?

Good things are possible! Imagine an LA where you see apartments and people and not warehouses near our transit stations!

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

This is a friend of mine and the median normie voter and exactly why it's so weird people are flying flags at half mast and op-eds are being written.

Do most non-online ppl even know this dude? He’s just another victim of American hun culture. A culture he clearly gave his life to.

Good, but can we get the NG out of LA?

@metrolosangeles.bsky.social are there any plans to provide straps to secure bikes on the A Line?

Thank fucking God.

Excited for this! Also, anyone out there miss the old Egyptian Theater?

🚨EMERGENCY RALLY TO SAVE BAY AREA TRANSIT🚨 Governor Newsom promised a $750M emergency loan for Bay Area transit agencies and it's now at risk. This would mean massive service cuts on BART, Muni, AC Transit, and Caltrain. Let’s show Newsom that we won't stand for service cuts.

If my admittedly extreme supercommute between NELA and UCLA is time competitive with driving (1h10 consistent for ebike vs 80m-1h15 driving), imagine the possibilities for 3-5 mile ones!

Okay! Every non-Nazi at the US Open needs to record massive booing of the President at the men’s final and post that stuff everywhere online. Also, gotta root for #Sinner b/c #Alcaraz is apparently pro fascist in his excitement that a rapist is coming to Open. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

Ooh, that anisimova backhand though! Maybe some fresh momentum?

Sabalenka’s serves are something else. Doesn’t give Anisimova much to work with.

Should clarify that I am quite enjoying the women’s final, despite the fact that Anisimova doesn’t seem to be on track to victory.

I just won’t be able to stomach watching with him in the stands. Bummer sine USO is my favorite major. Hope someone makes a scene though.

The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

Yes!

Literal lounge chairs! *cries in LAX*

Wait, has SFO always been this nice?

Here’s to a great long weekend! Until next time San Francisco!

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

Pretty shocking there is no protected bike lane on the Embarcadero.

Car parked over a painted “sidewalk.”

Really great day. Heartily recommend walking across your city of choice.

Bay views, city views, coyote views!

I’m an urban hiking aficionado and could not be more excited to tackle the SF Crosstown Trail. But first, as a good MURP I get to try out the new electric Caltrain to get to the start

I thought I was being clever calling manual bikes “acoustic” but happy to see others do as well.

Have you been putting off commenting on the sepulveda line? Well, you’ve got just a few hours left. Comment in support of heavy rail, and especially alt 4.

Found a bar that so suits my vibe and it’s serving perfect low abv aperitifs on a warm day.

Saturday hit take: cable cars are cool.

Nice little San Francisco morning.

I’m not usually a complain about the ref guy, but come fucking on! #coys

I can’t be live in woke up early, on my vacation, for this absolutely dreadful performance by Tottenham #coys

Today is not Amtrak’s day. Delayed 1.5 hours at the start, delayed by a person sitting on the tracks, then delayed by a broken down Surfliner in front of us. 4 hours to get to Chatsworth! bsky.app/profile/jsla...

Ugh, I know. Stop blowing up my phone Amtrak.

Heading up to San Francisco the weekend the best way I know how

LAPD choppers are a malignant nuisance. They're harbingers of surveillance, operated *continuously*—yet the city's own data show they raise stress, impair cognition and burn 100,000s of gallons of gas. The best part? there's no evidence they deter or reduce crime at all. It's time to ground them.
