Wake up babe, we're putting bikes on bikes.

Love seeing a low flying helicopter overhead in a dense city with its ads-b transmitter turned off. The colors made me think CBP but I can't tell for sure.

I take some pleasure in knowing that Robert Moses is rotting in hell.

We're on the nextgen acela, next stop, marginally faster train service. GOSH SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

Chicago is the best small town in America.

aldermanic offices in downtown chicago have started to pass out "checkpoint passes" this is a xenophobic reaction to Mexican Independence Day car caravan parades in Chicago backed by Chicago Police and the Mayor's Office

People often ask me what I do for work. What I do is cash paychecks.

We're talking about speed cams again. Let's not expand our mass surveillance network (cams record 24/7, legislators could stop that) and build safer streets (legislators could fund that). But, 55% of drivers who get a warning in Chicago don't ever get a fine. 46% who get a fine never get a second.

I walked down Milwaukee from Damen to Ashland and back and ran into 15 people I know. I don't even live in this neighborhood!!! Chicagoans YEARN for open streets.

I talked to @leighgiangreco.bsky.social a few years ago about how dangerous state roads are. "Of the 30 sites with the most crashes in Chicago, all but one included a state road..." IDOT is asleep at the wheel. CDOT, step up and build a network of safe city streets. stateline.org/2022/12/08/s...

Gotta take my baby in for a clean with @babski.bsky.social, it's been too long. Also I found my favorite film stock, cinestill 400D.

I can't wait for the AI bubble to POP.

Doing some preventative maintenance 🫡🫡🫡

We're gonna be McCooked if we don't reduce runoff from all that asphalt and concrete in Chicago AND untangle our storm and sewage drainage systems. Climate change will only make heavy rains even more dangerous.

CDOT hears you. That's why we won't be adding bus only infrastructure to lake shore drive. We need to stop pouring so much asphalt! It's not good for our communities!

it is with the heaviest of hearts i announce my darling boy ollivander has cancer. i am asking if you have anything available to donate pls do as we are trying to make end of life arrangements that are humane and most comfortable for him, but expensive for us. venmo and cashapp are @hstorm78934

Chicago area transit agency recoveries through the first half of 2025. Water Taxi has surpassed 2019 ridership numbers!

This is the dumbest shit ever. I can't believe we've ever done this and are still doing this.

How do I get @davistheater.bsky.social to follow me on letterboxd... What membership tier do I need to upgrade to for that?

Calling a big tech company (Amazon) morally grey has got to be the most hilarious cope I've heard in a while. And I've heard a lot of hilarious cope having gone to school for aerospace engineering.

When bus only lanes work (which is rare in Chicago cause of how we design them) it's like God herself kissed the wheels of our ride and we are FLYING. May Chicago be blessed with more and better bus only lanes. Ameen.

I feel like we're gonna ride "the court's three liberals dissented" till the fall of the empire.

Rents in Spokane are down 12% as a result of pro-housing legislation, like removing parking minimums, incentivizing housing on former parking lots, and upzoning all residential parcels. reason.com/2025/07/22/r...

Why is this same guy in every "person on the street" interview???

I got stuck behind a driver going 10mph on the Leland greenway and now I'm anti-bike grid. (a real solution is to cut vehicle traffic by changing neighborhood circulation plans so people don't use residential streets as cut-throughs, a core component of the bike grid vision. Flip some oneways.)

JUST DO IT.

Spent my lunch break zapping sidewalks tagged as bicycles=no on OSM.

Literally all the brown working class people I grew up with would go to Bangladesh for weeks at a time because you have to travel SO FAR.

Chicago would undergo a transportation revolution if we made edivvy rides up to 30 minutes free for everyone.

At work I stop reading a slack message after "I have a quick ask..." Nothing else is received by my brain.
