I just want one political candidate to advocate for new signs at RIPTA stops. And maybe benches. We're spending time debating a new bus hub and missing the simple things that could make riding a bus a more comfortable experience.

For those wondering, California's largest source of climate change causing emissions is cars. So in California if you want to fight climate change, it's pretty important to make it easier for more folks to get around easily and safely without a car ww2.arb.ca.gov/ghg-inventor...
A piece chart which shows California's emissions by sector and transportation being the largest sector by a significant amount over the next category

Next time I'm in Goodge Street station I'm going to look for this passageway because it's obviously A PORTAL. Made me think of Armin Joseph Deutsch's short story A Subway Named Mobius (set in Boston). Maybe all metro systems are in some way liminal?

Realized that the hook for this ad ("not so great name") is from his first race, for governor. Rs have so far taken more of a full spectrum "he hates America" approach than "he's a Muslim" approach www.michiganpublic.org/opinion/2017...

The mere presence of "infrastructure" is not a magic wand that makes biking or walking safe. Some of the intersection treatments around new protected bike lanes (e.g. New Cypher St.) can put cyclists in bad situations. There's a need for continual improvement.

Getting involved in advocacy against car dependency has radicalized me on a wide range of issues. So it really grinds my gears when people sneer and say, "Don't you get it, you can't bike everywhere?" as if I haven't spent years understanding the fucked up systems at play in this country.

In “The Waste Land,” T.S. Eliot describes April as “the cruelest month.” With all due respect, the renowned poet was clearly not a lawyer awaiting Supreme Court decisions that may define democracy for a generation. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/for-...

For democracy, June is the cruelest month
In recent years, June has been the time when the high court delivers its most devastating blows against individual rights and the rule of law.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.
