Halloween recipes sometimes use charcoal as a black pigment, but that can trigger coconut allergies or absorb medications. Consider alkalized cocoa, this spooky season.

Based on driver behavior, I can only deduce the average driver LOVES waiting at red lights for as long as possible. They often use extra gas to get to red lights faster!

MSP to CHI is roughly 400mi. Borealis barely scratches the surface of what is possible at 7hr 24min. By comparison, here are the train times for: • Madrid – Barcelona: 387mi • 2hr 45min • Berlin – Munich: 387mi • 3hr 45min • Paris – Marseille: 410mi • 3hr 5min • Tokyo – Okayama: 404mi • 3hr 10min

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

I was prevented from walking my bike on Southport a few weeks ago. I can understand not allowing people to ride through but they told me I couldn’t bring my bike in at all. It was just in my way! I wanted to go past and continue using the bike lane!

Things that low tire pressure can feel like: -Bouncy -Heavy (like its much harder than it should be to move and accelerate) -pulling to on side of the other (irregularly and especially when going over seams or cracks in pavement) -feeling the rim hit when going over rocks, potholes, curbs etc.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

New from me for @bettergov.bsky.social: As usual, most city departments stayed within their budgets last year. Also as usual, the police department didn't, with overspend larger than most other departments' total budgets.

I've been annoying my friends ever since I visited Montreal this winter for an outdoor music festival and realized Chicago is a fake winter city. A lot of Chicagoans genuinely act like the outdoors are an inhospitable tundra for a huge chunk of the year when we have weather that's completely fine.

100 years ago today: A cyclist replies to a motorist's complaint that cyclists don't pay road tax and cycle two or more abreast, holding up drivers. How things have changed.

MOTORISTS AND ROADS
MAY I humbly point out to your correspon-dent, Colin M. G. Ross, that were in existence before motoring commenced, and if only cyclists had used them they would probably have lasted for ever? It was the ad-

vent of motor-cars that made a tax neces-sary owing to their destructiveness.
With regard to cyclists riding three and four abreast, this is the exception, not the rule; and the practice is usually confined to irresponsible local youths.
Cyclists as a rule never ride more than two abreast and are quite willing to ride single file where the road is narrow, but they cannot fade away for every motor-horn.
