I don't know what to do. I hate one of my cats. She shits on the floor and then lays in her own filth. She growls at everything all the time. She hates everyone. We've tried prozac, different litter pans and locations. Nothing fixes this mental POS cat. I want rid of her. I'm miserable.

What if I need to pass a dangerous driver on my ebike to get out of danger? Or get to the hospital? If these sound ridiculous, it’s because people have normalized those excuses for cars. Speed limits for both.

I don't care what car owners do in the privacy of their own homes but do they really have to be out in public shoving their lifestyle down our throats

Driving hack: if you hate going over speed bumps, you can easily get around them by riding a bike.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Hey, Chicagoland people. We have a couple friends who are in need of having their cat re-homed. If there's anyone willing to take on a lovely big boy named PeeWee, please reach out. He's apparently a little lover, and is 3. I'll add more info when I get it.

Really cannot be understated how much better of a place Chicago would be if there were at minimum 30% less cars on the road. The root of so many problems in this city is that too many motherfuckers here drive

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.

hey I heard you like sankey diagrams that show huge populations making terrible decisions

A very complicated Sankey diagram showing the usage of electricity in the United States. Or the left are sources of energy and on the right are consumers, so, for example, nuclear is on the left and residential is on the right. Petroleum dominates.

We shouldn’t have to police our bike lanes. We need to design them so cars can’t access them, period.

The amount of damage that drivers cause with their vehicles in Chicago is insane. Cars crash into buildings, people, light poles, fences, and anything else you can imagine on the regular. And most people just say, "Welp, nothing we can do about all of this damage that we experience every day."

A smashed black iron fence with laborers in the background. At the corner of Loomis and Roosevelt.

Just got a random call, out of the blue, from a former boss. Her brother has the same first name as me and she meant to call him. Second time in 10-ish years she has done that. Nice little serendipitous chat.

To the extent you can teach car drivers anything, they should be taught to treat crosswalks like railroad tracks: You can drive over them at the appropriate time, but you can never stop on them.

My cat is snoring. And as soon as I typed that he did a big stretch and rolled over and now he isn't. Cute while it lasted. Okay, he's a sleepy kitty he's still cute.

Here's an experiment for anyone concerned about "two wheeled terrors". Next time you're out and about, pay attention to pedestrian guard rails, esp at roundabouts and islands. Just see how many are bent or damaged, in some cases flattened. All done by car drivers.

It's funny how people will go "Not all drivers!" when you talk about reckless and car-brained behavior while also yelling about "rule-breaking" cyclists as if we're a monolith and all responsible for the actions of each other. Only one of these groups is part of a system causing widespread harm.

Jfc I can't catch a break with this shoulder. Slipped coming down the stairs in socks (not the first time, idiot!) and caught myself with my bad side. Sent shockwaves and pain through my arm and shoulder that I can't even describe. Setting my PT back yet again.

You get a lot more than just an e-bike when you buy from a FLBS. You get access to infrastructure for maintaining your transportation investment.

I need to make something very, very clear. If we are in a Zoom interview and your pet interrupts, you never EVER have to apologize. Instead, please introduce them so I can greet them properly. Thank you for your time.
