Tart apples would also be a dream. Good pies need sour fruits.

On the hunt for fresh sour cherries in Southern California. Anyone have any tips? The season starts soon!

I don't know. The rocket man said if he paid twice as many taxes, it wouldn't help anyone. Let's try to find out. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I’m pretty pro-panopticon for anything involving cars. Speed governors, automated license plate readers, ignition interlocks for people with more than one DUI. Sorry, your rights to privacy ended when you began operating a multi ton piece of heavy machinery around me!

Awesome!! On weekdays, riders can catch the BurbankBus Orange Route at North Hollywood Station and ride it to Hollywood Burbank Airport! www.burbankca.gov/orange-route

✨ Magical transit day ✨ less than one minute between each of three transfers and it's free today. Have arrived at my own happy hour an hour early with some quiet time.

Open-loop on the Burbank Bus! It worked! $1 to get me to the North Hollywood Red Line Station @metrolosangelesbot.bsky.social

What if I were to tell you there's a way to produce less reliable and less secure software that takes longer and costs more? I can see you're intrigued.

The problem with cars like this is they are only good for moving peple. Often when I choose to drive it's because I'm moving some STUFF. Give me one of these for rent by the hour on ever other street corner:

Woohoo! @metrolosangeles.bsky.social credit/debit card payments are now live!!!

An *annual* residential parking permit is $85??

CAISO nighttime gas usage is dropping to a couple percent. We're almost all renewable + some imports all day. California energy knowers, is the duck curve disappearing here?? We also just got daytime TOU rates that promote 10 am - 2 pm usage. 🔌💡

And there we were all making fun of that Bourne film where Julia Stiles is all "double click on the folder that says CIA BLACK SITE" gizmodo.com/the-worst-le...

"164 trains a day is too many" BRO YOU'RE REGION HAS 169483948294829473 PEOPLE WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Nothing says Caltrans' vision of "The Future of California's Freeways" like a *triple decker* interchange. bsky.app/profile/infr...

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Whoever at Stripe was like "you know what our users need? SOCIAL PROFILES INSIDE THEIR TRANSACTIONAL DATA" needs to quit tech forever While I do want to know more about "Goths Against Cancel Culture" what I was actually looking for is "cancellation reasons" and they're no longer available in search

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

As of today Santa Monica has begun camera enforcement to ticket drivers parked in bike lanes. Never park a car blocking a bike lane or a bus lane! la.streetsblog.org/2026/05/01/s...

INBOX: Palm Beach County officials have denied a federal grant to fix the air conditioning where South Florida's oldest LGBTQ nonprofit operates, citing a recently approved anti-LGBTQ+ state law. www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/l...

Traffic calming hack: ride slowly in front of a robot car so no one else can pass you.

A yeah ago in May, I rode my bike to Bike to Work Day across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge at sunrise. This year, thanks to @mtcbata.bsky.social closing the path on weekdays, I'll probably just drive. Good stuff, guys!

"In March, the first four weeks since the bombing began, consumers in France, Germany and the United Kingdom drove off in 206,200 EVs, a 44% increase over the year-earlier period. In South Korea, electric car transactions more than doubled. In Italy...67% increase." financialpost.com/commodities/...

I love that I am never ever ever interviewed for these stories. I literally created the revenue curriculum for Going Solo as mentioned in this story, I have interviewed 100s of journalists about the revenue side and I run a subscription model myself but I don’t have fancy credits so

This strikes pretty close to home as my family almost lost our home to a tax auction we had no idea was happening.

Sure, I could go finance a $70,000 pickup truck for the occasional landscaping chore, or I could have some fun with my life and money and live locally with my e-cargo bike at a fraction of the cost.

Can someone in DC please get me two of these National Cherry Blossom Festival commemorative @wmata.com SmarTrip cards if they're still available? 🌸 If they're sold out, then two of the regular cards would be great! Thanks so much in advance!!

Eric Swalwell suspends his governor's campaign, as he faces horrendous allegations of sexual assault: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/u... Swalwell was one of the frontrunners in polling, so this significantly shakes up the June (all-party) primary, including really reduce the odds of a Dem shutout.

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

As a counter to the "what's the point because things will never change" crowd, having current mayors in different cities so clearly challenge the premise that cars are good and necessary for full enfranchisement in society is not a thing that would have happened just a few short years ago.

hope everyone in the wide world of housing and transportation researchers applying for today’s @arnoldventures.bsky.social LOI deadline enjoy their celebratory cold beverages

legalize these

Please, I am begging people: never again repeat the claim that only two people were killed in the occupation of Minnesota.

Since Larry Schwartz started this fare evasion crusade well before the pandemic, I have said over and over and over again that you cannot enforce your way to lower fare evasion rates. You must design your way to them. It's going to take the MTA nearly a decade to get there, but we're getting there.

👏 people over parking 👏

feels like the two big stories for organizers to be aware of right now is Meta rolling back encrypted Instagram DMs & Zoom meetings being recorded:

My man clearly had to fight with Cigna over an MRI

Gonna be in the largest city in the US tomorrow while the Metro K Line Northern Extension showdown plays out in the second largest city, my other home 😭🚇

“We handed over some aspect of critical operations to a person we don’t really know and didn’t vet before hiring, who doesn’t care about working for us or future employment, who is legally immune and who won’t even remember any of this afterwards” is only a slight exaggeration of some LLM usage

The newly elected mayor of Paris celebrated his victory by riding a bike around the city. He ran on: —60,000 new social houses —15 express bus routes —Completing a full bike network —Changing ring road to a blvd —1000 new pedestrian streets —300 new hectares of parks We can do better.

Mary Fong Lau, the 80 year old woman who killed four people including a baby and a toddler after crashing into a bus stop going 75mph the wrong way down a 25mph street, has been sentenced to probation and will not permanently lose her drivers' license. This is a despicable miscarriage of justice.

Having to remove the seat and stem to get the 12 speed P Line on the airplane box takes a little bit of whimsy out of the folding bike experience.

Can't say enough good things about @fastmail.com, which has zero AI features and is also faster and less cluttered than Gmail: join.fastmail.com/287bc112

While the outage hasn’t been categorized as a cyberattack, Metro’s statement to me does confirm “unauthorized activity”

Not 12 hours after a driver killed a man riding a bike and severely injured others, a different driver killed another man. Deranged car culture.

I, too, am calling for people to cut oil demand. In addition to these ideas, also try demanding: -adequate funding for transit operations, -protected bike lanes, and -an end to freeway expansions.
