correct.

simple question that any carbrain will refuse to answer is: would you rather be hit by a car or a cyclist going 20mph? they know the dangers. they'll not admit them. if they did, they'd need to have a hard discussion, and they're unwilling to bruise their pride to do so.

banned books week…..a great time to buy a bunch of insanely famous books

it speaks volumes that people who are afraid of the colors of the rainbow have such a deep yearning to be validated by anyone that they'll fire anyone competent and replace them with a deeply unqualified turnip because they hope it'll make people think they're sooooo strong

Solar panels & windmills do not explode.

I found more joy in life this way.

Some people are taking responsibility for telling the truth and speaking up for their communities. And it doesn't have to do with age or experience. This is leadership that comes from moral clarity.

Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine just told the board's rider experience committee that East Link has officially entered the system integration phase. That means you'll see single trains with up to four cars operating across the I-90 bridge "intermittently."

With this statement, Milford police have officially insinuated that grevious harm or murdering pedestrians and cyclists is okay, so long as you use a car to inflict it. Their refusal to hold drivers' actions accountable is complicity in perpetuating harm to their community.

I just didn’t know I needed a spoken word song about rail ballast stone engineering set to music. SOCIAL MEDIA GOLD right here.

maybe the US would actually fix some of its problems if pizza hut would've had an adult version of their reading program, where they could get a $1 personal pizza if you had read two books within 6 weeks. the upshot would have increased literacy, increased library traffic, added pizza jobs, etc

what hell did i bring upon myself scheduling out the entirety of my complete monday wtf (honestly, this does illustrate the point of week without driving extremely well)

First day of #WeekWithoutDriving 2025, are you ready? disabilityrightswa.org/how-would-yo...

update: it is not advisable to stay up until 1am the night before the week without driving when work starts less than 6 hours later

I may have found my defining quote. Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

god i forgot how fucking good the orville is

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

i earnestly just need a crew of friends that are down to rehearse the s2 dan da dan opening so we can pull it out at a con with perfect choreography

A hardworking person posted the KOMO advertisers on Reddit. Really easy to just follow the links and contact Sinclair’s revenue sources in Seattle. www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...

For those in #Sinclair and #Nexstar markets.... #Boycott the advertisers!! After all, Disney got the message that way! There may be some you can’t, but there are some you can!

This is the standard - any transportation authority, and commission/planners - they need people who *regularly* use public transit, people who participate in the Week Without Driving (Next Week!), & people who actively understand that having to wait 45 minutes for a bus fucks your day up completely.

🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 For the next month, we're doing an experiment: live-streaming as a core campaign strategy. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, I'll be streaming with guests, games, and (of course) my cat, Heater. And if this works, we'll keep doing it. Join us tomorrow, 7 PM CT.

Gonna take a lot more than that for me to forgive them for so quickly caving into authoritarian pressure

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

As we boycott vile companies, a reminder that many US public libraries offer: 1) Ebooks & audiobooks via the Libby app. Pro tip: use the “notify me” tag to request your library add books by trans, disabled, & BIPOC authors! 2) TV & film streaming via Kanopy 3) Language learning via Mango 💙📚 And:

You - yes, YOU - can help protect the LGBTQ+ community here in California by telling Gov. Newsom to sign eight - yes, EIGHT - equality bills currently sitting on his desk. This link will help you do it in one step, today: app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag...

Remember folks, you're not immune to propaganda, and these fucks will absolutely be trying to harvest any and all data the company has. Download your data, delete your account, find anywhere else to go.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

fuck these pathetic spineless cowards, anyone trying to limit free speech sounds like they're *checks notes* ...a sensitive snowflake? because someone in the government got offended?

just a small reminder that bikes beat ALPRs and that your routing is much harder to track because you could go any direction anywhere

I don't even live in NYC and I'm so fucking excited to see this happening

If you're not slacking a bit, attending dive bar karaoke, & singing Garth Brooks' Friends in Low Places with friends every now & again, what's the damn point? 'Grindset' influencers eradicated their joy, & the exercise of enjoying your life & friends is antithetical to their business model.

i'm selling a guitar on marketplace and some doorknob offered me a pixelart nft of the same guitar in trade and sent me an image of it and told me it was a 1 of 1 so i downloaded it and replied that now it was a 1 of 2 and this was the last thing he said before i blocked him

EVERYONE HAPPY PANIC SOMETHING GOOD IS HAPPENING

This is honestly what I think about EVERY TIME someone tells me they use AI. It literally kills people, makes communities sicker, and we're not even scratching on the plagarism and shitty job downsizing.
