There’s a perceived social status aspect to it. They’re the same people who claim only lazy people and people with DUIs would ever choose to bike for transportation.

It has been brought to our attention that it is entirely possible Doug Ford does not understand that a podcast called "The War on Cars" might be in favor of things like protected bike lanes.

It turns out that the best way to avoid being killed by drivers is to be protected by infrastructure.

North America’s largest wildlife overpass is working. I-25 collisions near Castle Rock are down 91%.
In the 10 months since the wildlife crossing between Larkspur and Monument opened, there’s been just 2 reported collisions

I can’t imagine the smell in that helicopter! I’m sure everyone on his staff drowns themselves in perfume or cologne to overcome his body odor, and the combo of those smells…🤮

TNT is heads and shoulders better than the other networks in recruiting on air talent for all sports. They even got me into tennis because their French Open broadcast is so good. Ernie Johnson is the OG of random white guys throwing it to commercial.

And because headlights are so bright, they make first responder lights that much brighter…also because drivers are horrible about responding to their presence…but anyway, it genuinely hurts to make eye contact with those lights!

His post is frustratingly informative about how much design work is necessary in SoCal to get drivers to choose to slow down. The PCH and other urban freeways encourage speeding simply based on design. The posted speed limit feels more like a weak suggestion. Glad to see there’s finally enforcement.

I just 🙈…I can’t! I mean, even another cyclist should never address a fellow cyclist like this, let alone someone who doesn’t even belong in that lane. Zero chance I could respond to that with anything other than “I’m sorry, are you 5 years old?”

I also have to say collapse was bound to happen when people started allowing JERRY REINSDORF to take multiple victory laps for this accidental goofball team that went 84-78 on idiot good vibes. Don’t get me wrong I like idiot baseball good vibes but Jerry is the ultimate bad vibes guy.

Reminds me of a time when my friend and I were walking in a city with our own umbrellas on a very rainy day, and a family ran by us soaking wet. The father yelled at us that we should be sharing an umbrella because we were dripping rainwater on them (the already wet people) as they ran by 😂🙈.

I feel the same about JD. I watch a lot of Cubs games because he and Boog are such a fun combo - like you’re sitting at the game with really entertaining friends who love baseball. Same is true with Mud and Orsillo.

Makes such a huge difference having local team analysts on national broadcasts, and it’s even better when it’s two of the most enjoyable analysts in the game. Neither takes themselves seriously, or feels the need to fill dead air all the time.

So I wrote about MLB’s decision to try playing baseball in a national park. (I think there’s more at work here than just playing baseball in a scenic location.)

I can’t imagine the pressure he is under back home. Someone that young shouldn’t have to be so hard on himself when he’s already doing something incredibly phenomenal in hanging at the pointy end of a competition against the best riders in the world.

Driving under the influence also does not equate to “intent” to harm, so please do tell someone who lost a loved one to a drunk driver or texting that it was just an accident. I’m sure they’ll totally understand that it was just an oopsie moment like when you spill something on your brand new shirt.

As if the Las Vegas ballpark wasn't indication enough, MLB has completely dispensed with its sense of obligation to its constituent communities, not to mention the sport itself. It has instead twisted itself into destination tourism packages while being fundamentally afraid of its core product.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness here. I was also thinking about how I like Waymo only because I feel safer than in an Uber, if transit isn’t an option. That perceived sense of safety is what led to a helluva lot of SUV purchases, and…*gestures wildly at all the SUVs in the school pickup line*
