Rob Reiner’s cultural impact goes to 11. RIP.

Poetry over an evicerating bass riff- youtu.be/kKqoNrZ00Bg?...

It’s pronounced cyclist.

One of about a thousand similar beautiful scenes on my commute home by bike along the Harborwalk trail and The Neponset Trail. So much better for mental health vs being in soul sucking traffic on 93.

I often wonder if people would put up with the current carmageddon if we could make tail pipe emissions visible, like if we could dye it red and you could see it, would people be so cavalier about driving, or worse yet- idling.

At the core of the Crab Nebula lies a city-sized, magnetized neutron star spinning 30 times a second. Details at apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25082...

SPOILER: It will lead to more driving, more sprawl, more cars, more emissions/pollution, more public money spent, worse public health, longer commutes, and the same or worse congestion (see #InducedDemand). Because it always does. And they know it.

Can you tell when I went on vacation and had a couple drinks with dinner most nights?

Robot meets bollard. Nothing beats the #WorldBollardAssociation

The only thing Trump has made great again is South Park.

I’ve created a monster! My wife moving stuff into her office downtown.

30 seconds into watching the Zelensky/Trump Oval Office presser- “fuck this dumb asshole.” *click*

“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.

Disgusting and embarrassing

From a friend riffing on Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors takeover. Some of these are sending me

Remember in 2016 when Bill Clinton bumped into Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix, and that story of INSANE IMPROPRIETY dominated the news cycle for a week? Now we have POTUS, VP, AG, and FBI Epstein strategy meetings. www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/p...

Quick, hold an emergency community meeting to discuss the danger of ebikes in cities!!!

Appropriate reading for an Amtrak trip from Boston to Baltimore.

What a great final stage of The Tour! Amazing ride by Wout and super domestique Jorgensen. Congrats to Wout and of course Pogacar!



Cargo bikes turn every chore into recreation.

Note to self- Cargo bike can’t handle Mt. Bike trails. Broke a spoke and shredded the belt. A hasty field repair got me to work on time.

Jimmy Kimmel has more courage than the entire ABC News C-Suite full of executives put together... times one hundred! Kimmel correctly described the sending of troops to Los Angeles as a "disgusting and unnecessary abuse of power instigated by our mentally ill president"

This is insane! Why do these reckless assholes still have cars and driver’s licenses?

The only thing deeper is their need for attention.

This Idiocracy Prequel still sucks.

finally a worthy Alien vs. Predator installment

I am so tired of drivers in their giant vehicles who treat everyone else like second-class citizens & who suck up all the resources in our society & cause everything good to be paved and ugly. This rant brought to you by the lady who made direct eye contact as she refused to let me cross the street.

The real crime here is the lack of infrastructure that makes it dangerous for kids to simply walk to the store.

Would you guys watch this

Paris Metro is running trains with 3-minute headways after midnight 😍 A better world is possible, Chicago, but only if @govpritzker.illinois.gov & Springfield Dems save our mass transit with $1.5 billion in revenue & reform this year. Act now to save Chicago transit: act.ilenviro.org/a/transpo-25o

a simple choice.

I’m starting to hate the phrase “common sense” (no disrespect to Thomas Paine). It’s so often used as a way to disregard science and data. My “common sense” tells me that my human senses are inadequate for interpreting the world around me. The scientific method does that quite well.

FACT: The more people choosing to walk, bike & take public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS. Anyone claiming that less car dependency is a “war on cars” doesn’t understand how cities (or geometry) work. It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

CARS RUIN CITIES

I like how the French implement cheap daylighting of intersections without relocating the drainage line, simply by installing a small, raised curb extension detached from the sidewalk, accompanied by bollards to deter the most daring drivers. Hostile architecture, but for cars.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

"Trump, the self-styled alpha male, is in reality the weakest kind of leader – a man for whom every slight is a mortal wound, every criticism an unforgivable sin.” He's a snowflake. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-worlds...

Omg yes. It’s amazing how even supposedly creative progressive people will get hostile with you when you suggest we *could* have something else besides this eternal junk heap of cars everywhere

‼️‼️

"Some residents are pushing back on a plan to create transit priority lanes on a few of the city’s busiest surface routes ... a version of NIMBY (not-in-my-backyard) that might be dubbed NIMPS: not in my parking spot." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

it’s kind of annoying that almost every large democratic city is sitting on a nearly-infinite money printer all they have to do is override the NIMBYs and implement major upzonings that will massively boost tax revenue

lol humans

Becoming radicalized

This is totally insane, but if there’s not already a grindcore band named Fetus Debris, there should be.

So this happened just around the corner from my house. Right in front of my son who was on another bus and knew the kid. This violence needs to end.
