The actual issue before us — which is very simple & clear — is that you are masterminding a police state for your overlord & classifying opponents as “terrorists” & in the process destroying the Constitution & a free society.

Jew to Jew, Stephen, you’re a complete piece of shit.

I was too quick with my glancing at the call letters.

Teen hospitalized after e-bike collision in Menlo Park A Menlo-Atherton High School student was hospitalized with moderate, non-life-threatening injuries after colliding with a car while riding an electric bicycle Thursday morning.

Hard to tell from reporting if a car and driver were involved in this collision with a bike rider. www.almanacnews.com/public-safet...

Some people just don't have a klue.

Disappointing victim-blaming from @npr.org.

This article puts the burden of safety on pedestrians and people on bikes, not on the dangerous drivers and hostile infrastructure that are the real threats.

We don't need more "safety tips," rooted in ignorance and incompetence, we need safer streets.

SB79 maps, take 2: what got upzoned near the California Ave Caltrain in Palo Alto, where a 1275 square foot bungalow will cost you over $2.5 million. This is why SB79 is a huge deal - it opened up a whole bunch of areas that were previously off-limits. (attn: @nextdoorsv.bsky.social )
