Safety infrastructure works! Protect me please!

Hey, man—I just wanted to let you know that we're all pulling for you. We know it's tough, but we all believe in you and know that one of these days, you'll finally figure this whole "turn signal" thing out. All of us are praying for you and have faith that you'll learn how to drive eventually.

I think I meant snipe, or lock it down first. But I’ve been informed that they have done that in advance of maybe one day posting on here

👌

I should have checked before tweeting 🤦‍♀️

If anything, they should make an account here so no one steals their username.

You’re good. RF interference happens and they handled it well. Also important to note that it was the channel they were using for a special event, not ALL POLICE COMMS.

Funny to see the passive voice used here just like in automotive stories. 100 bikes autonomously terrorizing the community, not a driver in sight

Riding in the snow is better than riding in the rain bc the snow sits on you and you can shake it off. Even though I can be covered in water, I’m not wet! Magical, truly

Start: "I want to reply to this!" First decision: Is it an opinion? Yes → Do you know them? No → "Why would somebody who doesn’t know you care what you think?" → Do not say the thing Yes → Are you a recognized expert? No → "Why would somebody who doesn’t know you care what you think?" → Do not say the thing Yes → Will knowing this be useful to them? No → "Don’t give people useless information" → Do not say the thing Yes → Say the thing! No → Is it a fact? No → Is it a joke? Yes → Is it funny? No → "Laugh quietly at your inner thoughts" → Do not say the thing Yes → Who will they think it’s funny at? Them → "Don’t be a douche" → Do not say the thing It’s unknown → Is it a question? Yes → Could you Google for the answer? Yes → "Turns out there are stupid questions" → Do not say the thing No → Are they likely to know the answer? No → "Turns out there are stupid questions" → Do not say the thing Yes → Will they be happy to hear this? No → "Don’t be a douche" → Do not say the thing Yes → Say the thing! No → "Laugh quietly at your inner thoughts" → Do not say the thing No → Can you prove it’s true? No → "Don’t give people useless information" → Do not say the thing Yes → Will knowing this be useful to them? No → "Don’t give people useless information" → Do not say the thing Yes → Say the thing! End states: Green circle: Say the thing! Red circle: Do not say the thing

Just remembered this flowchart I made many years ago for Twitter. Still very relevant to BlueSky.

This is also bad

This is new laziness. Def more dangerous

I see that as more of a commentary that working in a business like that means you can’t afford to take off, but otherwise, yeah, I totally agree!

See you there!

Your Comeback Guide to all the Anti-Cycling Arguments You’ll Hear This Year Anti-bike arguments aren’t just frustrating—they’re outdated, inaccurate, and often repeated without a shred of evidence.

Worth a read folks. If you are a cyclist here is some mythbusters you can use against car brained folks. #Winnipeg #ActiveTransportation momentummag.com/your-comebac...

Anybody else notice that it’s not as hot on streets with lots of trees and that trees are freely available literally everywhere around you and all they want to do is grow?

It’s a 2-Benadryl kinda night

I’m just gonna come to terms with showering twice today

Polaroid, though expensive, is prolly the best way to get into medium format photography

Usually happens when I'm riding a bike. Those things fix moods so reliably

This is incredibly sad. Feels So Good is the first song I listened to on the morning of my wedding. That song always lifts my spirits and I owe much to this man and his music

These are amazing! Congrats!

Three minimalist, abstract lamp designs on dark and neutral backdrops Some text at the top text reads: DIYR (pronounced dear), celebrates independence and creativity. Below, it explains DIYR stands for Do It Yourself Revolution

Do It Yourself Revolution is a platform and movement that designs beautiful 3D printed objects (like fans, speakers, lamps), that you can then 3D print at home (or in a fablab) yourself. They want to challenge mass production with nicely simple objects. And I love their large fan!

What a lovely way to spend the day!

I would like more people to be aware of this. This is a scary development in the right-wing nuts are lost in the sauce category

This is the single most bonkers spot. Signals everywhere EXCEPT this high-speed curve. High ped and bike counts, high speed drivers

Soft launching my new Polaroid obsession, brought to you by a $20 estate sale find

My whole team at work has been scrambled to install a TV in an underused space on campus…

There was the news seller all shaven and shorn,
a harried, married man all tattered and torn,
a once-kissed maiden now sadly forlorn,
as the rider passed by on a day newly born,
and each was tooted with a dandy #bicycle horn.

Once upon a time, there were grand selections
for the trusty steel steed.

I’ll grimace at each car I pass on my bike in my 100-degree commute home for radiating even more heat with the ~3,000 tiny controlled explosions per minute required to move them.
