Is there a Bluesky blocklist for people who add you to their substack subscriber list without your permission?

Yeah, exactly! It’s basically a facilitated way to work through a cryptic clue. Both Parseword and Minute Cryptic have been fun. I do like doing full puzzles when I have time, too.

Kidical Mass ride into spring at Waterside Workshops with Mayor Adena Ishii (@mayoradenaishii.bsky.social) this Saturday, March 14!

“The cyclist, who had a helmet on…” A very important detail when you’re hit by an enormous truck. 🤬

I haven’t spoken with her about it, but I’m hopeful all of Council will come around on this. It’s long past time.

And “we’re gonna sing it again, and again”—as many times as we have to. A major route to schools and shops must be safe for cyclists, kids especially. Our city wants bike lanes, has voted for bike lanes, approved a bond measure to fund bike lanes, and we need results. Not endless debates.

It’s incredible to me how much time I and so many others invested arguing for this single bike lane project. The original referral for the project was from 2018, and we won an 8-1 City Council vote in favor of it in 2022—and yet nothing has been built. Now we have to start again from scratch.

Great to chat! ❤️

Why is he wearing that

Record-breaking February 2026 ridership on Bay Wheels in the East Bay, up 43% compared to Feb. '25. New stations in Oakland and Emeryville undoubtedly helping, despite Berkeley sleepwalking into its third year of silently deliberating expansion sites.

Wooo! That's rad!

wait, no, no. What you're supposed to reply is, "Marc, that's incredible!!"

I agree! She was very nice, too.

We’re not mad. We’re just disappointed.

Man dies in crash at intersection where he petitioned for traffic light after wife's death Gerry Goldberg, who fought to get a traffic light installed at the intersection where his wife was killed in 2024, died on Monday in a car crash at the same place.

Oh my god. “Nearly two years later, the issue remains unresolved. Some neighbors have argued against it, contending it’s not needed and that adding a light would lead to increased traffic on residential streets.” www.9news.com/article/news...
