really fascinated that not one major social platform decided to answer "Does your company intend to uphold its current content policy?" in regard to potential live streaming/sharing of a public execution

If you're supportive of the Hopkins bike lane project (implied by your post below), I also think Ross has voiced the strongest support for implementing the project in full as passed. Daria has also been supportive with some reservations; Moni and Laura are opposed. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Especially since other cities and other countries have already studied similar conditions post crashes, and made clear recommendations for mitigation. By focusing on warrants (injuries/deaths at a specific location) we reject the idea that we have plenty to learn from others’ losses.

Bullshit like this fills me with utter disdain for the Democratic party as a whole and all of the consultants and advisors steering them in this contemptible direction. @drannieandrews.com you should be ashamed and I am glad I did not donate when you asked for support.

It makes me almost unspeakably angry that we hear how it's a huge imposition for people to have to park a block from their destination (bus riders typically walk several) or to have to *GASP* pay for parking, and meanwhile people walking and riding bikes routinely pay with their bodies and lives

“There’s strong evidence that bike lanes are good for local businesses, and my guess is that a year after installation, most people won’t even remember why this was such a big fight,” Bernet said. That’s right. Let’s go 💪🚲

I managed to see three cars, two of which were Teslas, run red lights in a single day. Shouldn’t Teslas be able to alert the driver that they’re about to run a red? (Not that I believe in FSD, but if they’re going that way anyways…)

I bought a Cannondale ebike a couple of years ago and it had a lot of quality problems and I wound up getting rid of it. I’d be cautious of their ebikes. Like @drtaragoddard.com I was going to suggest Aventon. Lectric is another good option.

This is both unbelievably fast and also at least as fast as it should be! (We're in year eight of arguments about 1.5 miles of a bike lane in Berkeley.) I'm glad to have these as models to use in future arguments.

I’ve heard about a few of them organized by neighborhoods, which is awesome. I would like City Council to do it everywhere and support it with easier permits / easy road closures. Mostly just, make it happen for everyones’ kids.

I will say again that we should be doing this in Berkeley—not just in the Elmwood but at least one street near every school, in every neighborhood.

No membership-based YIMBY group in California is supporting Prop 45. The campaign also has zero transit org supporters. Much to consider

This is a better epilogue to my January story about the private equity firm profiting off of ICE's cruelest flights than I could have ever possibly hoped for. CHICAGO: You went to the mat and protected (at a minimum!) thousands of immigrants from torture. Take a bow. prospect.org/2026/10/02/i...

Yeah, for sure, and culturally in general. Seems like many other places do a better job of this in one way or another. (That phrase, all-caps iirc, was @anniefryman.bsky.social's twitter bio for a while and it really stuck with me as something we all need to say more.)

So so so so cool. To how many other city needs should this "long-time resident" or "avid cyclist" objection process apply? "No fire hydrant there, I like to park there" or "no services for unhoused people there, that would bother me" or "no hospital there, too many sirens" or?? YOU LIVE IN A SOCIETY
