Follow up: Only one of these has been addressed (Bottom right).

Same thing up here in Beverly. The city plowed snow into intersection corners so most curb cuts are completely blocked and they haven’t deemed it necessary to reinstall a sidewalk accommodation on our main street. I’m finding MA cities to be especially bad about snow removal. What gives?

It really annoys me that the moral panic over e-bikes obscures the incredible impact they have had for disabled people.

WaPo joining Page Six in the “No political commentary — nothing to see here, folks!” gaslighting

Was truly hoping for a bigger middle finger from Green Day but hey.

Watching the Super Bowl and wondering why NBC doesn’t do an inset for the ASL interpretation. Anyone know why?

Lol. "Common sense Republican" who voted for Trump twice and rails against the "radical left." Fuck off Micah. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

What do Paris, Montreal, Barcelona and Brussels have in common? “If you look at the cities doing the most to reclaim public streets from the automobile and give it to people, they often have one thing in common, and that's strong female leadership.” @thewaroncars.bsky.social LISTEN: bit.ly/3MdP82L

New Hampshire Avenue in Takoma Park, one week after the snowstorm. These are sidewalks. It is not equitable to clear roads by obstructing pedestrians. @takomaparkmd.gov @mdsha.bsky.social @mcdotnow.bsky.social

THIS! It’s the same offenders every single time. I emailed my mayor’s office about this. All I got back was how hard city employees are working even though I stressed that I think we need a policy change. Really disheartening — now I’m stuck at home bc I’m not walking my son in the street.

What is with the old house fetish? ✅ Lead ✅ Asbestos ✅ Drafty ✅ Other weird shit done to it It is BAD that our housing stock is so old in Massachusetts. It’s not something to be proud of.

Same for Italians Americans.

My city too. They just keep sending us robo-calls begging us to shovel (for the record we solved in front of our house)

Would be nice if our local government leaders and law enforcement understood the difference between the two!

"Currently, U.S. governments are projected to spend $6.3 trillion on highways over the next 20 years — substantially more than it would cost to build world-class transit, according to the report." www.governing.com/transportati...

“Only 25 of the world’s 300 largest cities have female mayors. A tiny 5% of municipal leadership positions are filled by women. Despite these figures, many of the cities that are making the most progress to become greener, cleaner, more equitable and liveable are led by women.” READ: bit.ly/4rbmcHu

European fire trucks ftw “The wait time for needed parts for the vehicles is estimated to be days at the most” compared to upwards of 6 months for American parts. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

Why is the state giving dangerous drivers a free pass? The answer is to work out a repayment plan or scale fines according to income. Framing this as helping low income residents ignores the reality that they are more likely to be killed by a driver. www.bostonherald.com/2026/01/20/b...

At its core, this is simply more eugenics bullshit. This all stems from the idea that your entire worth as a human being is tied up in your ability to work.

WHY do people in New England park on sidewalks? This is a city vehicle too!

If you don't want to be exposed to US government Bluesky accounts, there is a block list you can add that will handle it for you. They added ICE before I even knew they came here. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Shooting someone in the face and then calling them a fucking bitch is some of the most horrific and misogynist shit I've ever seen.

“The disruptions..were exacerbated by cultural upheavals that radically changed social norms around sex, sexuality, marriage, children, and gender roles.” Try daycare is expensive, healthcare is expensive, life is expensive, and frankly giving birth sucks.

Apparently these are contrary to US interests: International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance; International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law; And several UN offices dedicated to violence against children & sexual violence in conflict.

And if you ask people who advocate for this about apartments or if renters shouldn’t be allowed in single-family neighborhoods, they have no answer.

But the e-bikes … www.wcvb.com/article/1-in...

This is the kind of sentence in articles about transit cuts that make me furious. People don't just "have less opportunity for transportation access." They are confined to their homes, miss work, skip school, forgo medical care. This drives people deeper into poverty, and often, *it kills them.*

Currently reading Susan Faludi’s Backlash from 1991, and boy, has not much changed in regards to women’s equality. She could re-release this book today and only need to update statistics.

When someone is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

If my son’s childcare center let these weirdos in, I’d unenroll him immediately. 🚩🚩🚩

I would not be surprised to find similar cases in every state in the country. Example: DC’s speeding tickets are public if you haven’t paid. Many drivers with 10s of thousands in fines.

It should be harder to get a drivers license and easier to lose it.

Devastating.

Ironically it is people of lesser means who donate the most as a percentage of their income. www.philanthropyroundtable.org/almanac/who-...

The northeast will help a neighbor but will not hesitate to point out that they’re also fuckin dumb

*Taking notes for next year*

So many liberal people think they’re avoiding “gentrification” by freezing the built environment in amber, when what they’re doing instead is turning former middle class homes into aging $1.5 million luxury products

Why are we such special snowflakes about everything? Elevators, fire trucks…what else?

They have explicitly stated that they program these cars based on local social norms. That is the complete opposite of safe, law-abiding driving.

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

This - again and again. Stop victim blaming, start politician, infrastructure and lawmakers "blaming". “First, the designers of the system are responsible for the design, operation, and use of the transportation system. Second, road users are responsible for following the rules of (it).”

One of the biggest tricks of the car industry was convincing us that parking private cars is a public responsibility, turning shared space into free storage for personal vehicles.

More streets where cars are only guests, please!

“Right now, there is just one Waymo setting,” But in a few years, there may be “three or four settings, and one of them is almost exactly like the way that you want to drive.” You mean Waymo & all these AV companies have been lying to us about being safer than humans?! *shocked Pikachu face*

Ahem. youtu.be/w5wOEnddwQU?...

Living next to Walgreens and like 10 different takeout spots when you have a newborn is clutch.

I simply am never going to believe that being someone who already has a home gives you the privilege to deny others homes

My city requires you to pay over $300/year for the school bus if you live within a mile radius of the school. And no we don’t have good bike or ped infrastructure especially not in the winter.

Not a single bit of alt text on this baby.
