And rioting…

Fucking fascist cowards

Key quote from the great Lewis Mumford in 1955 — “Adding car lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.”

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

A warning over a highway near Interstate 5 in Los Angeles that reads “live weapons over freeway”

We just live in a john carpenter movie now.

Pierre Poilievre says he wants to “restore merit.” He needed to be handed arguably the safest, most impossible to lose conservative seat in all of Canada after losing his own seat.

Seems like the opposite of merit. #Poilievre

(oh, and he still refuses to complete a check for a security clearance)

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

"Start spreading the news, bitches!"

Not sure what the answer is, but as my late father used to say, “Cheering for the Yankees is like cheering for IBM.”

The centrist response to Trump is the same playbook we've already seen on climate- a flailing attempt to solve the problem in a way that requires as little personal discomfort as possible, bolstered by the nearly unshakeable belief that nothing bad could actually ever happen to THEM

It’s not that the Yankees are bad, it’s that the Blue Jays are better

It’s a beautiful thing

Dear NPR. No. Just no. This is not how you help.

One of the several thousand actual road safety experts here. We are easy to find. Maybe give one of us a call next time, ok?

Whether it’s Barack Obama wearing a tan suit in front of reporters or an ICE agent brutally attacking a mother in front of her children, both sides have subjected our most vulnerable citizens to disturbing images.

This was meant as an attack on me, but their assertion that people hear “racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens” and think, “well, that must be Charlie Kirk” is quite an own goal.

Anyway, good luck with the grift!

Its a good thing they didnt have internal combustion engines in the 18th century or our shitlick founding fathers would have written a right to them into the constitution too

Why bend a knee when you can raise an arm?

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

"E-moto" - it's good to get some clarity on what these things are called. Let's work to make "e-moto" universally understood as distinct from regular "e-bikes".

The Trump administration wants your kids to be run over by cars while walking to school

These people are batshit insane

“Bike-lanes take up too much space & make streets dangerous!”

(They actually make streets safer for everyone.

Data doesn’t lie. On streets with protected bike-lanes, crash rates typically drop—for drivers, cyclists, & pedestrians.)

Charlie Kirk warns that Haitian migrants "will become your masters" if Trump loses the election

Last September Charlie Kirk claimed that Haitian immigrants in Huntsville were "raping your women and hunting you down at night." He said that rural Alabamians faced a future in which Haitian immigrants "will become your masters." www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

“Left leaning” yeah right sure sure

Oh fuck right off loser

What a load of absolute nonsense

Kitk was clearly, unequivocally, far-right. Come ON

You’re the one spewing complete bullshit
