Portland City Council out here simultaneously trying to lock me into paying a stranger to drive me around forever (opposing waymo, sitting on hands while transit is cut) and making me pay more for it. PRICE ALL CAR TRIPS. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

Even this guy isn't calling for zero income tax.

JUST GIVE EVERYONE HEALTH CARE AND IT WILL BE WORTH MORE THAN WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS IS.

I was told once (by a REPORTER) that it was unfair to remove parking mandates (in NEW YORK CITY) because a lot of people can’t parallel park. www.reddit.com/r/interestin...

Recent data gives us an excuse to shout it again: parking reform is a key tool for turning over-paved cities into thriving, resilient communities. 🌳

And after you watch this, make a donation to @parkingreform.org so we can help people make their cities better.

Man, so many people are gonna be driving off bridges. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

Man this is crazy scary, but have you considered that a bike rider might make someone feel bad for driving?

I’m gonna admit it. I looked at a map and thought, I wonder if they could build a canal through there, then I looked at the map a little more and saw big mountains. It’s not a bad thing to wonder if there’s a simpler solution, it’s also not too hard to check yourself.

This is scary AF, but is it scarier than someone you don’t know parking a car in front of your house?

1am dispatch after arriving home from 15 hours of mediation and realizing holy shit, we're actually going on strike tomorrow. This will be the first community college strike in Oregon's history. Both PCC unions will be on strike.

DO NOT DO IT.

Is there any difference between “I asked an chatbot how it feels about…” posts and the periodic NYT columns interviewing 2024 voters?

This is pathetic and we deserve better. apple.news/ApD2zGtXmTZG...

This is pretty bad, but if we didn’t have this someone might had to park a block away from their destination sometimes.

I know gas prices are gonna raise my cost of living, but not being car dependent is great and everyone should support policies and efforts to make it a universal option for everyone in a city or town.

Just a reminder that we don’t need to change any federal laws to stick with standard time. Your state legislator could restore sanity tomorrow.

The thing missing from most city paid parking plans is VALUE. No one wants to pay for parking! It’s true. No one wants to pay for anything! If you pay for a meter or parking space that you had to circle the block forever to get, what was the value? Go big or go home on this.

I’ve never felt more seen.

Foreman electrician in a steel mill and chemical engineer in a coke (carbon) plant. Those grandpas died when I was young and my step-grandpas were a butcher and an insurance salesman (I think).

Hear me out — single SLIDE buildings.

brb. setting up content filter rules so that my own organization's mailing lists and emails between staff don't go into gmail spam...

Price EVERY car trip. That’s why I can’t have a TED Talk. There’s not enough to say (and also nearly all the gatekeepers have car brain).

Just another reason to hate cars.

A pretty good summary here about Ottawa City Council's recent approval of the new zoning by-law. "How Ottawa Abolished Its Parking Mandates" parkingreform.org/2026/02/12/h... (via @theoverheadwire.com)

I think if rocks or bottles are falling from the sky we have bigger fish to fry.

Just as an aside. I’m in a place with bad internet and bluesky video loads better than photos. What’s up with that?

What part isn’t the Nazi part?

It’s worth noting that Costco and WinCo, the cheapest options, almost certainly require access to a car to be practical options (or you pay more for delivery from instacart). Amazon Fresh is about as cheap as WinCo?

Honestly it’s not even the worst idea I’ve heard for spending climate justice money (that goes to an idea to build parking garages by a recently announced candidate).

Anyone in Portland with a Tesla that can help me figure out what level on the stereo volume is the threshold for hearing it in my house from the parking lot across the street?

Yes, I recognize how cosmically funny it is that Portland allowed a Tesla supercharger "gas" station to be installed in a BAR parking lot across the street from my house. I did not anticipate the worst part would be the loud bass emanating from Nazi shitboxes.

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

An idea whose time has come hellgatenyc.com/feed-the-met...

Fuck ICE. Fuck all cars. Have a great weekend.

The saddest thing about this is that there are neighborhoods that could have benefited from 10 years of improvements paid for by residential parking revenue that City of Portland leaders are just too lazy to collect.

ZGF has one opportunity to redeem itself.

I’m not exactly sure what this guy sells but I’d be pissed if I needed it and had to wait 36 weeks to get it because of dipshit and his tariffs.

250 years later I’m wondering if England will take us back and prosecute the child molesters currently running the country?

Don’t forget that most youth activities in this country presume the ownership of family cars and the ever-presence of adult chauffeurs.

tfw when your governor talks about your pet issue... __parking reform__ @parkingreform.org

There is a stark and likely deadly divide between the approaches of Tesla and Waymo and I wish it would be acknowledged loudly in every conversation on AV. gizmodo.com/tesla-robota...

I was told only Waymo drives into water.

Did R Crumb draw this pizza?

"The most potential they found was in parking areas..." And they didn't even propose REMOVING any of the spaces! www.latimes.com/environment/...

There is no such thing as a clean car.

You know who doesn’t tip? Assholes.

So @binnig.bsky.social wins this round of public testimony www.portlandmaps.com/bps/testimon...

So, Pritzker 2028? Why or why not?
