Tried out a new bubble machine on the bike bus today and the bubbles were glorious. 10/10 (though I too turned into a bubble).🫧

A very common sight in the Netherlands: entire classes cycling together with their teachers on school field trips. Made possible because safe, convenient cycle routes are built into the transport network nationwide.

When they tell you that walkability and public transit can't work here, just remind them that it once did until we let a single industry dismantle it.

The Watchmen show on HBO was so effing good, and I feel like it should be better regarded than it is. They took one of the greatest literary works of all time and made an equally momentous sequel in the form of a show, and we should talk about that more.

Shocking.

I miss when Smash Bros speculation was more about fun side characters rather than throwing around random third party characters because they're "successful." I don't want every Smash character to be the star of a multi billion dollar IP. I want Waddle Dee.

I frequently hear from American DOTs that retractable bollards are too difficult. Like, the city can maintain and operate actual century-old drawbridges but modern bollards used everywhere in Europe are too much.

Hey #boardgames ! Bit of a long shot here but anyone here know someone at (or themselves work for) a talented company that specialises in digital board games, and who might be looking for a big project tussle with (points downwards at The Old King's Crown). I'd love to talk to them/you if so!

It’s very odd that we entrust the clearing of public sidewalks (which are part of our transportation network) to private property owners & businesses. We get results like this business that cleared only their walkways & left the rest of the sidewalk covered in snow. #PlowMPLSsidewalks 1/4

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs
