Bicycles Deliver The Freedom That Auto Ads Promise.

My point is… i just think it’s so unhelpful to point to everything going on and turn it into “courts lol” or “like there’s gonna be midterms lol.” Doomerism leads to complying in advance because if nothing matters why even bother.

Living a suburban lifestyle of self-imposed isolation through separated housing, segregated zoning, and auto dependence leads to what can best be described as a house cat mentality: a mirage of rugged individualism that overlooks the community and interconnectivity that undergirds all of modern life

Just a reminder, Illinois General Assembly, that you don't need to wait until the last day of session to pass important legislation.

Just a note that we were decided as the perfectly representative state in 2016:

Hmmmmm so we have machines narrow enough to #PlowTheSidewalks. Wild.

Everyone, at ever level of government is behaving like there is no risk of blowback, when this is the kinda thing that all but guarantees retaliatory vigilantism.

‘Asked by the BBC whether he was glad he had spied for the A.N.C., Dr. Christie didn’t hesitate. “I was working for Nelson Mandela and uMkonto we Sizwe,” he said. “I’m very proud of that. We won. We got a democracy.”’

Welcome to Chicago, hope you like walking approximately a mile and a half through a progression of liminal spaces to get to the train

Thread about paramilitary actions. It wasn't just King who decried the complacent moderate.

who cares what he cares about, the question is "how does this process actually work, and what mechanisms exist for him to affect it." the executive branch plays exactly zero role in the composition, certification and seating of a new congress. bsky.app/profile/push...

Hello drivers. You may have noticed that there is still some ice on the ground. If you see cyclists or pedestrians in unexpected places on the road, please understand that it's because the road is the only goddamn thing that got cleared. Don't you dare honk. Don't you dare.

With “Wikimedia Enterprise”, AI companies have to use (and pay for) dedicated APIs to scrape data, which helps to limit the strain on Wikimedia servers. (See eg arstechnica.com/information-...) This is a good thing for Wikimedia and for its readers.

With tourism floundering the White House launches new slogan highlighting why Canadians should consider visiting.

Got the answer from Pace. Nope! "45‑minute minimum period" between OnDemand trips. Really wish I had a fixed-route I could plan around catching back and forth instead.

Holy hell, dudes. What is wrong with you.

It’s not just Rad Power. A wave of e-bike bankruptcies is rocking the industry. But e-bike believers should keep the faith. These vehicles are useful, fun, and affordable. They’re here to stay. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

Yeah this is 100% a description of my cousin TJ.

If it weren't for the gusts and sudden drop in temperature, I would have felt more secure on my e-cargo with the kid than driving them to daycare today.

Another famous flipping off by an administration: 1976 How'd that work out for Ford v. Carter?

Meanwhile leaving bus planners still completely uncertain where to set a stop for the location.

consolidate the 2,200+ taxing bodies in Cook County, @drakefor10.bsky.social says yes please why are there two "street lighting tax districts"?

We have to throw some Democrats out in the primaries before they will realize that their base wants ICE completely broken, and won't settle for less

Fuckin' A

Don't act like you didn't ask your parents for these at your elementary school book fair

Man newspaper comic strips were great. You basically had more actual cartoons you could hold in your hand delivered directly to you. I could trace them right from the page, and that's how I first learned to make comic panels. There was the shared experience too, EVERYONE was getting the same stories

babybel implies the existence of scarybel, sportybel, gingerbel and poshbel
