Now that we seem to be entering California's winter monsoon, allow me to remind Bay Area cyclists that my automated trail flooding status gizmo for Santa Clara County California is still in operation. www.cyclelicio.us/trails/santa...

"Leftists are the real fascists!"

An affordable competitor to the Xbox with PS5 like performance and no requirement to run Windows 11... Gabe going full knives out here. youtu.be/sJI3qTb2ze8?...

For far too many families, the cost of childcare is driving them out of the city they love. New Yorkers deserve to be able to afford to raise families here.

The people yearn for bicycle infrastructure La population aspire à des infrastructures cyclables.

I thought I knew how bad John Forester was (and how malign his influence was) but this tour de force from NotJustBikes is worth every minute of your time, and should lay to rest the ghost of "vehicular cycling" once and for all. youtu.be/pRPduRHBhHI?...

Hey, Remember DoorDash, that "convenience" app that inserted themselves as middle men so that restaurants didn't have to hire delivery drivers below rate, that then paid drivers even less? They're building robots so they don't have to hire drivers they need to pay. Fuck DoorDash, hire people.

"Why aren't they using the bike lane??" #ottBike

So, Daniel here writes for The Economist. Like NYT, it's a rag that often liberal minded rich white folks will go into and spout the most vile things, like why Hitler was good for Germany, or like last week (next post)

trump has destroyed nearly every part of the federal government that would help respond to incidents like this

I think if you're going to be a journalist you should probably double check and make sure that your article premise isn't "How can I insult everyone that speaks this language"

Me, getting groceries on bike because we can't afford to be a multi car household 🙂 Daniel: You're smug! Me: Dude WTF Daniel: Oh sorry, I meant it as a compliment Everyone: In what language?

Having down time and rest should be more of a badge of honour than being busy.

Why do cyclists get so triggered by the word smug? Because of 50 years of being told we don't need bike lanes but should instead just ride defensively in the road as if we were a car only to have it constantly turned around on us that riding defensively makes us "smug" "entitled" or "aggressive"

34+? don't forget your grumble stretches

Every human being everywhere on earth should have all the tasty food, and good and safe housing, and a fantastic education through graduate school, and all the healthcare they need or want, all for free. There is more than enough wealth on this planet to do that. We just need to divide it fairly.

I’ll die laughing if, when Tesla inevitably implodes, Apple buys the remains and actually rolls out the iCar.

The US right for the past 20 years: being smart is for liberals! It’s better to be proudly ignorant! Me then: clearly they’re trying to keep their voting base uneducated by choice Me now: oh

Not all delivery trucks are justifiable in cities. We can create jobs, boost sustainable transportation, and create safer streets with better infrastructure through cargo bike logistics. The solutions, designs, and tools already exist. All we seem to lack is the political will to implement them.

It's a war on the working class by the billionaire class that just want more money. I still say ban cars.

Forced car dependency robs society of any chance at financial freedom. America doesn't have a "love obsession with cars", they simply have not been given a choice.

Mhhh, 90s Toho special effects my beloved. Composite miniatures and macro monster men in suits with digital after effects they really put a lot of effort in to. Just, there's an honesty in the budgetary and technological constraints that I just love compared to, well... Digital slopfests

American war of the roses but it's kenedy v kenedy v clinton v trump Thanks, I hate it. Get these wanabe royalty shit smears out of office and power, they're no good for anyone.

A family has handed over a 13th century book to the National Library of Norway. Conservator Chiara Palandri says its pages were made of calfskin parchment and that the cover appears to be hairy sealskin. The strap to hold the book together is thought to have been made from reindeer hide.

AFD co-lead says he wants breathing room for Germany and a non aggression pack with Russia.... When have I heard that before?

20,000 additional self incriminating documents. And they aren't f-chat roleplay logs, yikes.

Imagine trying to work across the aisle with people actively trying to hide the fact that the leader of their party is implicated in criminal activity by Jeffrey Epstein himself

It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

Every time I watch the continental weather forecast it's record breaking storm this, torrential flooding this, Some arsonist started a wildfire in a record draught year oh and acid rain is back and thundersnow is just something that's just a thing now not a "yeah that /might/ happen"

god i want what everyone else has

Whenever you advocate for being "tough on crime," whenever you support "crime free ordinances" or mandatory minimums or harsh prisons, whenever you support imperialism...you support the same racist, predatory ideologies that create more Trumps.

It's an uncomfortable truth that Donald Trump and Republican fascism are products of the same ideology that gave rise to the largest carceral state in the world and the largest military industrial complex in the world.

It's a lovely day at Comerica Park, and you are a healthy goose.

DEAF FURRIES! I Know there are some of you following me. Attending MFF? Request ASL Interpreters by emailing [email protected], awoo!

If you're not familiar, this road is a very short section up to the bridge. Maybe a 3 minute drive. This violence is never about delaying drivers, it's about drivers violently imposing their perceived entitlement over road space.

This incident is a direct consequence of a culture where drivers are never held accountable for aggressive, violent driving. "There’s no reason cycling should be this dangerous. There’s no reason a traffic disagreement should end with a knife on the ground and blood on the pavement." #safestreets

Funny how the high road failstaters that paved the way for Trumps second term think their history of failed policy will ingratiate them with their replacements. Keep up the political pressure to primary these GOP loving bipartisans that think some starving kids is ok.

Unfun fact: Before cars, debt was seen as a sin. To sell more cars, GM’s John Raskob made borrowing feel normal. Genera Motors didn’t just invent auto loans, it designed a system to keep people locked into motonormativity. Totally authentic archival photo below.

This one I pour out to all the people whose trans girlfriends will be non responsive for awhile…

Everyone’s first crush

The next time someone calls cyclists entitled this article will be the first thing I share velo.outsideonline.com/news/tesla-d...

You might find something important in it, too.

Paleolithic Artists 🤝Modern Artists Running on fumes

flood the zone. the aim is to replace them, yes, but also to send a crystal clear message that it’s time to take back the control of our futures from the establishment that has failed us again and again for the most craven reasons, like placating their donors

i keep thinking back to the peak-pandemic mass eviction dems forced when they held a trifecta. there was popular consensus that it was cruelty in service of donors & member wealth over the public welfare. the time to demand dignity and a better future is now. not next time. now. primary them all

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work? Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.
