Something is fishy at Fisher, and it’s not just the salmon sperm.

Is there something like a bat signal for @bikeportland.org @jonathanmaus.bsky.social

The money was always there for the good things.

🚨 Trump & RFK Jr have a new & extremely inhumane approach to global health: holding vulnerable people to ransom 🆕 My latest article in @bmj.com examines how the Trump administration is withholding life-saving health aid from countries & from Gavi to extract concessions www.bmj.com/content/393/...

"Waymo" is the name of the inventor, Victor Waymo, not the name of the car. The car is properly named Waymo's Monster.

Is it illegal to go to a soccer match in Montreal? #RCTID

Cats are dogs that wish they were birds.

The Whitecaps belong in Vancouver. Cascadia needs to have the Whitecaps. A relocation is a travesty of the highest degree. Folks, it really is as simple as #SaveTheCaps.

Who among us doesn't have a manifesto in the works these days?

ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."

Three months after Ottawa removed its automatic safety cameras, the share of drivers following the speed limit plunged from 87% to 41%(!). "High-end speeding" is up 10x. Automatic enforcement saves lives. If you remove it, people will die.

New season of "Heated Rivalry" dropped.

Trump is posting fresh blasphemies this morning

Linked In vs. current job

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

The defensive strategy of sitting deep and letting good teams smash balls into the box fails again and again, because statistically something will just go wrong. #RCTID

David Attenborough voice: "The human takes great pleasure in and uses tremendous resources to deceive itself."

i’m glad the Supreme Court said what we’ve all been thinking: lawyers should be in charge of medicine

"ICE OUT" banners seen in the Timbers Army during the National Anthem. #RCTID

This is why I unapologetically tell the economics students to change their major to something respectable.

Currently reading one of Jane Jacobs' lesser known books, written decades after Death and Life. Her loathing for cars (and Robert Moses) did not diminish with age. "Not TV or illegal drugs but the automobile has been the chief destroyer of American communities."

Seattle Reign. Lol. #BAONPDX

The total fare revenue for ALL US PUBLIC TRANSIT is about $11B/y. $200B would fund super-Mamdani free-fare transit NATIONWIDE for SEVENTEEN YEARS (and actually do something to ease gas price stress)

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

Fun fact: My proposed headline for this one was "The Road Safety Metric That Needs to Die." I'm really, really tired of traffic engineers sealioning about US crash deaths being (slightly) less horrific if you divide them by VMT instead of population.

Cities will never be compatible with the car. You can change their design, their fuel source, and their model names, but their problems still remain. The future of mobility is human-scaled and it's already here.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175 Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

Not really attacking as a team, not defending as team when it matters. Shape falls apart under pressure. Isolated and stranded. #RCTID

What Lionel Messi's arrival in Baltimore really sounded like 🔉🆙 Crank the volume up for the full experience. DC United moved their game vs. Messi's Inter Miami to Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Ravens, so more people could attend 😯 📹 @baltimoresun.bsky.social

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

New meta-analysis of 26 published studies concludes that AVs will lead people to use cars a lot more — which would thicken congestion and worsen pollution (even if AVs are electric). "AV deployment is anticipated to lead to an overall increase in Vehicle Miles Traveled." doi.org/10.1016/j.tb...

Too many people have been scared, injured, and killed by truck drivers in the Central City over the years. There's no reason for big trucks and vans to make last mile deliveries - not just for safety, but environmental and system maintenance reasons as well. Hoping PBOT permits these things soon.

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"

“If you think AI is bad, have you seen humans?” should not be an applause line.

Counterpoint: No. ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

Would anyone be surprised if the Epstein files revealed that Trump dabbled in cannibalism?

This is regulatory failure. Blame NHTSA and Congress. Tesla never should've been allowed to sell driver assistance systems misleadingly called Autopilot or Full-Self Driving. Of course people got confused! Competitors like Ford would be far more cautious Tesla had paid a price for its deception.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

MAGA hates seeing other people happy.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Demand that FIFA retract the first FIFA Peace Prize from Donald Trump as a part of its "Global Stand Against Racism."

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

City transportation official opts for white line and signage instead of gate to keep their baby off the stairs.

I saw it too:
