Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Stick season/Last call for shorts

sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social

It'd be cool if the "increasing the cost of motoring hurts poor people" people cared anything like as much about cost to people who rely on public transport - who are disproportionately likely to be poor and disabled, and who consistently face far greater increases in cost.

Noem is 53. She isn't POTUS. She also isn't Donald Trump. There is time, she isn't as shielded, and she isn't as slippery. Promising to prosecute members of this administration for crimes against humanity, even if it means altering existing laws to do so, would be a great campaign platform.

A Tom Dumolin infiltrating every greenway in America

hell yeah

Some Boomer on Facebook is accusing cyclists of pooping on trails, so that's a new one.

I love the Metra!

I have important information: Everyone look at how good Tiki is at getting on the scale at the vet now! She walked into the room and jumped right up!

When your cat takes the family photo.

The CEO of Crumbl after everyone threw their stupid pink frosting cookies at him:

Broke: Germ theory Woke: Battery theory

Go outside.

I'm doing my 4th annual Black Friday gravel ride this year, so if you live in Massachusetts you should definitely join. It'll be 35 miles of trails and quiet roads. Route: ridewithgps.com/routes/53382...

First of all. This is a good thing. That Trump has done. (This might be my first praise in a year). Secondly. Let’s recall what senior Congresisonal GOP leadership said the last time the president negotiated drug prices. Well done people.

How about we try to meet disabled kids' needs met by paying paraprofessionals a living wage, for starters, and not cutting back on services.

I get so many PR pitches about EdTech being raised as a way to "solve" disability and it makes me want to pull my hair out.

Bayou Goo pie from House of Pies is undefeated

Huh. Will be interesting to see how she spins this one.

This right here

As a Jew it doesn’t seem that hard to understand that if people are protesting outside a synagogue because they think it’s pro-Israel, that’s antisemitic but if they’re protesting outside a synagogue because it’s hosting an event encouraging people to move to illegal settlements, that’s fair game.

It's pretty notable to hear Brendan Crighton mention congestion pricing, as he represents Lynn, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Nahant, Saugus, and Swampscott. Lynn and Swampscott have commuter rail stops, but those are all significant car commuter towns.

It's a choice that we regularly subject people to trauma like this

The main thing that has improved my cooking in the past ten years is brain medication (fewer forgotten ingredients and burned pots). Doing that also helped me learn to do more things the long way, which is, unfortunately, usually worth it.

I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

Do other countries have sites like GasBuddy that are just dedicated to tracking gas prices for drivers? Seems like a very U.S./Canada thing.

while they are very different in many ways, one thing that is similar about the video games industry and the bicycle industry is that they are built on exploiting the labor of people who love the field they work in.

A few years of biking and walking to work alongside post-Covid drivers radicalized me. Hit twice and so many near misses. Lost a job over it and wouldn’t change a thing. We can have safer roads

This year, I'm truly thankful for the reporting I'm able to do, although it's impossible to stay on top of the news cycle, and for all the people willing to speak to me for my disability articles.

"Immigrants in New England targeted for deportation are being whisked away quicker and to farther locations than ever before. They are increasingly brought to remote areas of the country where they face more conservative judges who are less likely to grant them freedom..."

what we don’t have in turkey fryer explosion videos, we make up for with 10-pound grease ball pics.

Lemme say this as a dude who wore a badge in Louisiana and Texas…All Massachusetts Cops Are Bastards But Especially The Punk Ass Staties.

Really not a fan of watching a State Trooper drive right past a traffic violation involving a school bus. Especially since I’m waiting for my kid to get off their school bus.

Ask the Montgomery County Council to treat transit riders fairly - by PASSING THE UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD CORRIDOR PLAN with the provision (Option C) that converts a travel lane in each direction for a wide sidepath for pedestrians and cyclists! actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...

We need a 28th amendment to defend my right to speed

Texas has been aiming to have zero deaths on its roadways for as long as I remember. I wondered if we'd ever gotten close. Nope turns out it's 10 or so people a day like clockwork. We haven't had a death free day since before George W Bush got elected president.

Yes, things suck, but consider that some hairless monkeys living on a tiny rock with a soap-bubble atmosphere have manages to look back almost 2/3rds of the way back to the beginning of the whole fucking universe to take this picture.

Cars are 26 times more deadly than trains and 75 times more deadly than busses. How about we discourage car ownership so that transportation will be both more affordable and safer.

“Americans have been clear that they have been hyper-focused on affordability” when it comes to cars would send anyone from any other country into laughing hysterics

This is the only kind of vehicle you are allowed to drive now

Car ownership (dependency) itself is expensive. But what if we, I don't know, focused on expanding transportation options beyond cars? What if we changed regulations so that automakers were no longer incentivized to build giant SUVs and trucks? No, we'll just cut back on safety features? Okay.

lol get rekt bitch

My "Party of law and order" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

The #TransitCat of the day (not pictured) uses cat litter and eats cat food brought home by bicycle.

An incredible waste of a almost entirely spent amount of political capital

I am excited to finally try squash pie
