The reason why late 2000s executive emails look like teenagers texting is that they all are from an era when people were typing on a blackberry.

The fact that someone at NYCDOT has to make this presentation and take it to the community board is evidence of the way our ability to do things has degraded. This is a change that will impact a few drivers per day, adding zero time to their drive. And will make kids safer at school.

how does someone mow down a family of four, blame the car (no issue was found), transfer real estate to Nevada LLCs to avoid compensating the victims' families, and then walk away with nothing more than probation?

I would say it’s weird for a Jew to be such a good pulpit speaker but having gone to day school no it isn’t.

Worth remembering that one of the reasons the US rolls most countries in Women’s Sports is Title IX. This tweet inspired by the Women’s Hockey Olympic Semifinal

The MTA should do this with the Turnstyle market, which hasn’t been fully occupied since the month it opened.

Paris turned a bypass tunnel into a bike lane, meaning bikes can duck under the most notorious traffic roundabout in the western hemisphere. Better things are possible.

Fun Friday? These are some Hot Wheels 🔥 And I'm not talking about the 986 Boxster wheels. Proper tiniest ass toy car that goes too quick for its own sake. Don't talk to me about engine swaps unless your doing 1000% your original power output 😂😂😂

Normalization of deviance, in a single post. Kids driving cars and dying = normal. Kids riding e-motos and dying = moral panic.

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true: There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

11/10 Great Post

Williams now has a screen on the back of their driver information board which shows ads and a set of animated eyes. What.

The new Highlander suffers from the same disease a lot of SUVs do, which is that the designers seem to forget about 4” or so of body side. You should not have a taillight that high on a vehicle this tall. Prius cues need to become taller to match.

I intentionally keep my phone out of my line of sight while driving and only use the infotainment screen for directions. Or make my passenger read them to me. It's fun, like we're in a rally.

Putting heart monitors on Olympian family members for TV is fucking weird

I feel bad for all the journalists who had to skip Bad Bunny and watch Kid Rock lip sync badly instead.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Fellas, is it patriotic to root against the Olympic team?

I've been saying for years that the culture war is over. The culture war was over when Rock & Roll descended directly from Black music. The culture war never was. American culture has always been downstream of its immigrants. It's time we realized that.

All commentary on this ignores the point that the priest wasn't talking to the congresswoman about her morality. He was sharing his.

Concorde's first commercial flight was in 1976 and it was retired in 2003, or 27 years. Flight of the Conchords have been going since 1998 and are now in their 28th year. Flight of the Conchords has now lasted longer than the flights of the Concorde.

They're flying it through a tunnel at 90mphThey're flying it through a tunnel at 90mph! Unbelievable.

A question I don't know the answer to: does the RATP data include the RER boardings in SNCF territory?

One of the dumbest things that happened under Adams. It’s a pretty obvious policy move to say “a restaurant with a parking spot out front can decide to use it to add 1 customer via parking or 15 via tables”

This is a very cool idea! (Though I love the wide canopy on my street, it turns my bedroom into a tree house in the summer)

These kinds of human scale, mixed-use Midwest dive bars are illegal to open and operate in most American neighborhoods.

I just follow Emmanuel and their posts are an endless display of “better things are possible.”

WTB: a machine that fires a snowball at any car that honks after 10pm.

Something I haven't seen a ton of speculation about online is my theory that One Battle After Another is set in a world where the South won the Civil War. The biggest clue is that Col. Lockjaw is awarded the "Nathan Bedford Forrest Medal of Honor."

everybody loves THE 75 TONNE HIGH CAPACITY RAIL CRANE

Every time someone on YouTube (this time it was @nerd4cities.bsky.social) posts a video of a bike lane, there’s a car or truck blocking it. Every time.

@davecolon.bsky.social I’d like to propose a new variant of the sneckdown, the parking sneckdown, where illegally-parked vehicles outside of a precinct are snowed in for half a week. This at the corner of Washington and Park in Crown Heights

i'm mad about traffic calming. we should be able to drive 75 mph through bike lanes in school zones because of the Constitution and small businesses

The Department of Sanitation is one of the things that proves how well run New York is, actually.

It’s not a TikTok censorship conspiracy, it’s just broken as hell. (The censorship conspiracy is probably yet to come.) www.theverge.com/news/867625/...

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

“You’re just trying to sell bikes!” Yes, a business that is famously extremely profitable and very stable.

What a fascinating point. Often missed by people invested in the old system.

Train Guy Alex Horne is pretty neat.

Erik the Red may be the greatest marketer in history. “Greenland” still fooling people 1000 years later.

Every time I hear the GM line that “research shows most people don’t use the frunk, so we didn’t build one” I want to ask them how many consumers use the pickup beds on their GMC Sierra Denali.

But New Jersey doesn’t. Backwards state.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo
