I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

If I see one more person complaining about their 30-something year old body I'm gonna lose it. You know nothing about pain.

Cant reply so, Quote skeet! I give 60 or 75 every year to my local PBS station and get PBS passport for a full year. When I'm in NYC it sets to WNET, when I'm in RI I can pick Ocean State Media or WGBH. It seems the only real difference is when episodes are avail.

dear inter-bike-net, should i be concerned that in climbs my heartrate regularly hits 15-20 bpm over what the AHA says the max is for someone of my advanced age? could i just have an oddly high max? resting rate is totally normal.

Absolutely amazing watching people having a moan that a goal at 95:10 shouldn't have happened because I let "a minimum of 5 minutes of extra time" was announced. Do Manchester United supporters not know what "minimum" means?

Pro tip for the MTA and Port Authority: If you want people to take the Q70 to LGA terminal C, maybe put the stop at one of the 14 doors to the terminal instead of a couple hundred feet away? Just a thought.

The average person, and probably average member of Congress, might hear that bike lanes are on the National Highway System and think that's crazy But, the National Highway System includes many arterials These bike lanes in my city are threatened by the proposed language
Bike lanes on Memorial Ave in Roanoke, VA - part of the National Highway System

Hey, one cool thing about this big, dirty city is that even when Amtrak gets you into Penn station 30 min late & it's well after midnight there's still a subway train every 15 min to get your tired ass home for $3. Good work MTA (Post held until journey completed because you really never know)

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

A cyclist died near my house yesterday. They are not releasing info on the crash yet but as always a car was involved. It’s a road that is one of our “safe” routes. Fuck this

Mayor Mamdani's focus on a helmet paints deadly crashes as the failure of vulnerable road users to protect themselves, rather than as the failure of government to stop completely avoidable carnage. buff.ly/0HIM3RQ

A Helmet Won’t Save Mayor Mamdani From a Crash - Streetsblog New York City
Mamdani’s announcement entrenched a persistent narrative that assigns responsibility for road safety to individual cyclists while downplaying the government’s role in designing safer streets.

Trump’s attacks on Canada serve no purpose but to feed his malignant ego. He is a sick person, unable to discharge the duties of his office. He should be removed

Oh cool about 1/3rd of the Ocean ave 2 way bike lane is finished along the western side of Prospect park! i'd have preferred less buffer between the sidewalk & bike lane, & more between the sidewalk & street - so that trees could be planted there as well - but all in all still a massive upgrade
Wide, freshly paved, two-way bike lane next to dirt with a sidewalk and wooded park on one side, a street with construction barriers on it and and beyond buildings on the other side.
