“You're not alone in wanting a better world, one in which cars are relegated to their proper use. Cars are tools that can be useful at certain times and places. They’re not gods. They’re not the foundation of our society. They should serve us. We should not serve them. There can be life after cars.”

"Nicotine's not bad for you" - The host of the most listened to podcast in the history of podcasts

me on the 14 when it used to run to inglewood

We wanted to do something big for the podcast’s birthday episode… 👀

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act. Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

Have never listened to @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast, but followed them on Bsky because of urbanist mutuals like @nerd4cities.bsky.social , @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social , etc. After seeing 10,000,000 posts, I have finally broken down and preordered Life After Cars. Very much looking forward to it

This dovetails with another paper I co-authored — featured by the incredible @nerd4cities.bsky.social — covering how the amazing urbanism of Seattle's South Lake Union hides a built environment that serves surveillance. CityNerd: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLay... Paper: dillonm.io/papers/the-u...

This is what corporations want. Just like they killed trolleys and put us in cars. Capitalism is predatory by nature and we are its slaves.

crazy that the reds are gonna sweep the dodgers to advance to the national league divisional series where they will sweep the phillies to advance to the national league championship series where they will sweep the brewers to advance to the world series where they will sweep the guardians

This is such a crazy way to describe safety advocacy groups like hey bro you're being REALLY aggressive right now about not getting hit by cars

Netanyahu calls Canadian recognition of Palestine the worst thing anyone has ever done to Palestine

I finally cleaned up my messy cablework

You broke my heart!

The implicit argument here, that pedestrians and cyclists are at fault for their own deaths, is REALLY problematic. So many people are killed in crosswalks and sidewalks, if they even exist! I'm sorry, but wearing a helmet will not save you if a 6,000 lb. SUV blows a red light!

Nah, we beat you to it.

Damn this is good

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

Hearing older folks try to legitimize the idea of video games to each other is one of the weirdest experiences. They usually cite: 1. Age ("x series has been going since the 80's) 2. Popularity ("millions of people play/love it") 3. Revenue ("x has made so much money-") 1/x

“I’m a resident of the borough. This bike infrastructure has literally changed how I get around. I sold my car, and I’ve changed how I see urban mobility.”

www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some... the universe was just balancing itself out.

i read this years ago and never looked back. it just sucks that the people sounding the alarm were drowned out by cowards.

Me: I can’t reach that ledge because Silksong is a metroidvania. The hallmark of the metrovania genre is initially inaccessible areas requiring exploration and backtracking as you acquire new traversal abilities Silksong: You can jump there right now, bro. Using the jump button

There’s a cyclists’ die-in happening in my #Montreal neighbourhood right now! The intersection of two major thoroughfares, Bernard and Ave. du Parc, has been blocked off at the height of rush hour. (A child was run over and killed by the driver of a truck here earlier this year.)

Ehem. *taps Jarrett Walker density/transit ridership graph*

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

Pedestrian walking in road because cyclist riding on sidewalk because car parked in bike lane

Is there anything better than a project that improves transit and cycling? Montreal’s sustainable mobility corridors (“corridors de mobilité durable”), like here on Henri-Bourassa, are transforming arterial roads with bus lanes *and* protected bike lanes at the same time.

He's intentionally shooting foreign non-combatants with missiles because they have drugs and then bragging about it. Idk why this in particular, but this is really emotionally affecting me. To stop this guy, we need to do absolutely everything short of shooting him, starting with Prop 50 in CA.

This was the game I was most proud of making, a literal squid game about communicating with colors 🎨🦑 Join us for our next show NEXT WEEK! 🎟️ www.OurFindingsShow.com

There’s nothing like seeing two subway trains leave the station, looking at the “next train” signs, and seeing “2 minutes” and “3 minutes”. Oh, and this was 11am on a Sunday. Frequency is freedom.

High-income neighborhoods think that low-income people moving in will lower property values. Low-income neighborhoods think that high-income people moving in will raise rents. We have a class segregation consensus.

Walmart sells toilet paper with the American flag printed on it, so I think you're still beating us in that regard.

People get confused when they complain about having to pay for parking and you respond “nice!”.

Want a happy city? Build for bikes. So pleased to see Minneapolis continuing to be on this list & can personally confirm: I am happier here than anywhere I've ever lived. And a huge factor in that is my ability to live a less car dependent life with my family.

Get in loser we’re urbanizing California

So…. is the AG going to investigate the IL law enforcement agencies, that have broken state law (per the IL Secretary of State), using the surveillance tech, that the AG’s office paid for?

We will be at #gamescom !! You can find #AlabasterDawn in Hall 10.2 at Stand E020 - D021 and play our game there! Come visit and talk to us! #indiegame #pixelart

If it makes you feel any better, I did think "Is driving skill really distributed that way? Seems like it would be weighted more towards the bottom end of the scale"

This was an extremely fun interview, and @thetnholler.bsky.social is a force of nature

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.

WATCH: “What they’re building is largely something else.” @nerd4cities.bsky.social did a deep dive on the VEGAS tunnel - he says Musk promised one thing but built another… and did NOT help traffic… as they drill into NASHVILLE with @govbilllee’s blessing. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DNTKS_R...
