Easy first day of #WeekWithoutDriving today. I’m lucky because I wfh. I’m also lucky because there’s a couple of places I can bike to in this city where I have a relatively low chance of being killed while getting there, one of those being Nu Kitchen! #WWDWoo

Ok I have to admit, those blue MA 1776 license plates are pretty cool. Just had to get that car brain take out of my system before week without cars starts 🙃

Reminder! Week without driving starts tomorrow! 🚶‍♂️🚲🚌🚇

Very much agree with this thread:

ACOG statement on Tylenol during pregnancy.. I'll be expecting RFK and the quacks he's appointed at HHS to be recommending leeches next. www.acog.org/news/news-re...

Generally the offering of the Republican party is to overlook your criminality in return for your loyalty, corruption, and abusing minorities.

The rampant march of technofascism continues unabated. apnews.com/article/tikt...

Heads up Worcester folk: five days of rain coming up. 🌧️🌧️ Beautiful out today! Get out and enjoy it if you’re able! ☀️

I see Trump’s promise to solve Russia/Ukraine “on day one” is going really well. I guess when he said “solve” he meant letting Russia do whatever the f they want including attacking NATO.

I wish Bluesky critics would acknowledge this simple, somewhat horrifying fact

Every time one of our Worcester city counselors says that pedestrian safety is the responsibility of everyone and pedestrians need to do X, Y, and Z, I want this shown in chamber:

Doomers are effectively enablers. Shut up and get out of the way

This sounds like a good idea. Here you go: Sinclair: sbgi.net/tv-stations/ Nexstar: www.nexstar.tv/stations/

What would Orwell think about a huge face on a gigantic screen telling a crowd of people they should wage war on foreigners and dissidents? No way of knowing, I guess.

In the name of historic preservation, we should rebuild the trams in Worcester, delete I-290, and rebuild the housing that was there.

Week without driving is happening again in Worcester! Sep 29 - Oct 5. No minimum! Try one trip, one day, maybe the whole week not using your car and share the experience with friends, social media, or elected officials. Please sign up if you can! walkbikeworcester.org/week-without...

1. I desperately wish Charlie Kirk hadn’t been shot. 2. It was a horrendous action in its own right and for the fear it created. 3. His political opinions were repulsive. 4. No, we don’t need to be saying that we wish there were more like him. 🤦‍♂️ archive.md/202509121001...

Yeah!!! Bash bike lanes, lose campaigns!

lol I love that this is a thing the city does but seems a bit redundant today 😂☔️🌧️🌧️🌧️

From @hankgreen.bsky.social Republicans are deliberately making electricity more expensive and probably democrats will get blamed for it. Sigh. youtu.be/39YO-0HBKtA?...

This is like watching a Victorian time traveler befuddled at trying to work an iPhone. Just completely lost and confused by all the intervening context of the different era he's now in.

It won't be, but if this ended up the order in the actual election I would consider it a missed opportunity but I'd be *thrilled* to see Colorio get ejected. And there'd be a chance for a decent council depending on how the districts go (although District 3 seems cursed either way).

🚨 Reminder to vote in Worcester today! 🚨

The failure of the government and many Labour MPs to leave X after the 2024 riots suggests they just don't get the challenge they face or the power they have to fight back. Completely weak and callow.

Protest against Bike Lanes on Washington Street Pilot in Newton, Mass being organized on Tuesday Sept 2, "planning being kept quiet to avoid a counter-protest by the biking community" From r/bikeboston

Thread:

This article is such 💩. Amplifying unfounded fears by shop owners and quoting one guy saying "There's nothing wrong with riding and dancing in traffic a little bit". No, that's not ok. And let's take a look at the plans for this section of Broadway in Somerville.. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

No surprise

This is a brilliant video and applies equally to cities in Massachusetts as it does to LA.

Does anyone have advice for best cam to mount on a bike helmet?

A lot more of this from Democrats everywhere please.

The treatment of Garcia has been repulsive and unamerican

Today! 😍☀️☀️🚶🚲

Interesting take and article. Hadn't thought about it this way.

Rule 33: Adopt Vision Zero Sweden launched Vision Zero after realizing traffic deaths aren’t “accidents” but results of unsafe street design. In 2013, Stockholm (pop. like Phoenix) lost 6 people to crashes. Phoenix lost 167. Walkable City Rules www.amazon.com/Walkable-Cit...

Rule 52: Justifying Biking Investment Bike infrastructure brings health, equity, & economic gains. Bike commuters have a 41% lower risk of early death & 40% are low income. Bike projects also create 2x more jobs than road projects. Walkable City Rules www.amazon.com/Walkable-Cit...

To my dying breath I’ll say this should be permanent

Just checking out the incredible 2 way contraflow bike lane that radicalized one of the rich pricks who lives along here. He’s claiming that because some bike lanes aren’t perfect that we should stop all construction. A policy also proposed by anti bike lane billionaire nepo baby Josh Kraft.

Saw the weather today and decided to take random day off work to just hang around Boston/Cambridge. Love a random, no plan, nice weather day in the city 😀☀️🏙️🚲

Utterly repulsive

I swear to Christ. We need to stop overthinking what Newsom is doing. There’s no introspection from the right ever. JUST ATTACK.

Musk has shown a predilection for leveraging things he owns for political ends (Twitter, Starlink). You’d have to be insane to let him get his fascist hands on your electricity system.

Utterly disgusting victim blaming. Embarrassing and repellent.

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

OMG I didn’t know this. This is the person whose religious objection to gay marriage might undo that right. Disgustingly hypocritical.

If you’re in Worcester (especially D5), it’s incredibly important that @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social beats Jose Rivera in the council election. She’s incredibly caring, hard working, and wants safe streets, more housing, and justice. Rivera is a policy void. Please help / donate!

I am very grateful for the fight Gavin Newsom is bringing. I don’t care if he runs in 2028 or not. I care about doing everything possible to oppose Trump’s disgusting agenda NOW.

There are 4.71 million US citizen children with at least one undocumented parent. Of those 2.66 million have both parents undocumented. The scale of horror of Trump’s deportation policy is just unfathomable. www.brookings.edu/articles/wha...
