The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously. Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen?? youtu.be/4xgayuaun2U?...

the trick to going on group rides in the cold is agreeing to go before you realize it's 35 degrees and foggy

I'd like to imagine that this cat I saw last night wishes it was on the bike ride with me

All I want for Christmas is this.

I've been looking through old state transit reports recently, and was astounded at the fact that in 1976 Washington's intercity bus network carried 30 million passengers, half as many as every transit agency in the state at that time. Spokane had nearly 40 daily one way trips to different cities.

does the DPO actually have any policy priorities, or are they just trying to pander to as many people as possible

who else out riding bicycles today

With a little bit of creativity, HB2017's promised freeway improvements could be delivered immediately for just the cost of paint and a bit of asphalt. It would look something like this. The promised improvements were: - Address Rose Quarter congestion - Improve north-south vehicle flow

i love recording my small bike rides on strava. rode 0.75 miles to get some fajitas. you bet im logging that as training

This is a dumb article but it actually gets at maybe the most fundamental thing that's broken with DC Dems, popularism, electoral WAR and all the rest - a total inversion of the ends/means of elections and governing. Which in turn breaks everything www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/p...

whats the fucking point of passing laws if we can't even stand for anything. useless

centrist dems have taken full control on this issue and are so scared of their own shadow they're preparing to preemptively concede defeat on an issue where they already fully negotiated away their own position to a bunch of grifters with a legislative superminority

i wonder what this totally brave soul is doing right now

pretty sure my partner interrupted something on her walk to work today

Cars are a lot slower than people think. This driver commutes at 4 MPH. That's barely faster than walking (avg walking pace is around 3.3 MPH) They could cut their commute to 15 minutes biking at 12 MPH, but they might not have a safe route to do so We are forcing people into terrible car commutes

Shoreline’s first separated bike lane

snagged this bad boy last night and man was it good.

You don’t have to be a primary actor to have some amount of influence in the world

we need statewide transit schedule coordination so bad. these buses miss each other by 2 minutes so google maps says you gotta wait 23h and 58m for the next one

capital city free pile: 4 hardbound copies of the Senate journal

It's very funny to watch Mike Minogue, who donated money to Donald Trump and JD Vance, try to avoid saying he supports Trump ... before finally admitting he still supports Trump. Kudos to Sharman Sacchetti for not letting Minogue wriggle out of that one.

thinking about bikepacking season already

is this bad

do you guys record even the smallest rides on strava? felt like a goofball recording my 2 minute ride to a planning commission meeting last night

if the widespread road/freeway building had the economic benefit it's proponents claimed, the maintenance cost of the system would pale in comparison to the wealth generated.

Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community. 1. GTFO 2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1 Signed, Me

THIS IS IMPRESSIVE!

somewhere in an alternate universe there's museums with freeways that people can drive around on, and cities with streetcars people use in everyday life

Nextdoor is just straight up trying to make people fight, auto generating posts to cause just mess with people.

Nah fuck that The only city actually in the PNW is Salem OR

literally the definition of imperial blowback

so our government made a big deal about banning speed cameras but one city left theirs running to see what difference the ban would make and you are not going to believe this

could use one of these outside the state capitol

we accidentally defunded our entire transportation system this year. hopefully we’ll get it figured out soon and get back to hiring people to keep the state moving

what a policy failure to spend hundreds of millions on a bus rapid transit line and then cut funding for service so the bus isn't exactly so rapid(ly arriving) after all. these cuts are going to be so brutal and we're going to need everyone hootin and hollarin' at legislators to find a solution

i would say i'm on the struggle bus but they cut the funding for that too

have we tried leasing out the Oregon state capitol to fix all our budget problems

The Oregon Democratic Party is so fucking bad at this my god. REPUBLICANS ARE PUTTING A MEASURE ON THE BALLOT TO REVERSE THE HALF MEASURE Y'ALL PASSED. PUT YOUR OWN MESURE ON THE BALLOT TO CHANGE THE LEGISLATIVE QUORUM SO YOU CAN GERRYMANDER AWAY HALF OF THEIR DISTRICTS!

Amtrak Airo test runs.... love it. youtube.com/shorts/-6W22...

there is next to no pressure on the Oregon Republican party to write policy that doesn't end up with some level of financial ruin or loss in services. it only has to "sound better" than whatever the Democrats propose, whether or not it actually keeps our state afloat.

bicycles got added to cities skylines 2 and after 2 years it's finally somewhat playable

the fact that amtrak cascades hit another ridership record in FY25 despite shutting down for two weeks and spending half the year running smaller trains with higher prices bc of the horizon recall is another sign that the demand for rail in the pnw is genuinely insatiable

why doesn't the Oregon GOP simply fight to repeal the gas tax altogether? Clearly, $0.06 more a gallon is too much for plowed roads and maintained bridges/traffic signals. maybe after 30 years of no road maintenance oregon will be a premier destination for gravel biking.

We need Democrats to commit to a thorough purge of MAGA and fascism in the entire government, especially the military, once they're back in power.

Sounds like he thought he had a get out of jail free card on the underage sex charge since he was ICE www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
