Update!

But really it's awful for the obvious reason that this forces cyclists out of the bike lane and into traffic, creating danger the people of San Jose paid taxes to mitigate by installing the Lane to begin with.

I get it. Parking downtown is a nightmare, and I do not begrudge police getting coffee at Philz, but stuff like this creates the impression (too often true) of total unaccountability, to say nothing of disdain for the laws they swore an oath to uphold.

SJPD police cruiser parked in bike lane. Wonder what would happen if you or I parked there? Wonder what could happen to cyclists trying to stay out of the car lane. Fail. #sjpd @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social
Two San Jose Police Department cruisers parked downtown. The second is obstructing the bike lane.

Just making a note for my posterity. TFG needs to go. Many yesterdays ago, but never more so than today. Congress must act.

Totally agree. Unselfaware, myopic, shitty and obtuse people are real categories that require only a layperson's diagnosis.

When I hear, "How can I help you?" I get a twinge in my gut and my inner voice says, "Oh, boy. Here it comes." Often enough, it's just somebody nosing into nunya territory, and an actual answer ("I'm good" or "Actually, I was hoping you could advise me on...") is not accepted as legitimate.

That's my favorite, except for mine is High Life and Clamato. It's the best recovery drink ever. Recovery from what you ask? Doesn't matter. It's good for that.

This is my offer to any MAGA faithful whose faith has been shaken by ICE murders, venality, giveaways to--and personal gifts from--the wealthiest people in the history of the world, the incompetence, the embarrassment of a man representing us to the world literally shitting his pants on the TV:

Thread I get it. You hated how things were and voted for the guy who said he'd destroy what you hate. Now he's doing it. I hate to break it to you, but he's not doing these things for you on your behalf. He's doing them to you for his enrichment.

Fact. I know of at least one case personally where the white American owner of an older model pickup truck blasts Mexican rap during their commute for exactly this reason.

Protests make MAGA mad. Journalism makes MAGA mad. Accountability makes MAGA mad. And the anger keeps building until a single sentence starts to spread across the length and breadth of Trump’s base: “Invoke the Insurrection Act.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Hire clowns, expect a circus. Also, NY Times... Come on. "Mischaracterizing" is a ten dollar euphemism for a three-letter verb: lie. Lying about a material finding in a court filing is a felony.

Not all of them are upbeat (MASH, Welcome Back Kotter) but they all share a delicious, "Now let's drop into the den," kind of vibe for me. But for real, the Barney Miller theme literally slaps.
