Vote NO on the SAVE Act! The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

For These Old Bus Stations, It’s Not the End of the Line The streamlined depots built by Greyhound in the middle of the 20th century reflected a more optimistic era for bus travel. A lucky few are finding new uses.

I often take the underfunded & underperforming Ghound bus. This station is right downtown Cleveland & DOESN'T NEED A NEW USE. IT'S THE FUCKIN BUS STATION. Investing in intercity public transportation is what we need. I don't care how this shit gets dressed up, it is just punishing the poor like me.

Dammit. This is my river and bridge in my neighborhood. I am leaving Belize right now for this. 😭 My bike commute is gonna suck.

β€œWhy would you bring a gun to a protest?”

Pal, there are people who bring AR’s to the grocery store and you’re totally cool with that so maybe sit this one out.

Checks and balances would be great but at this point I’d settle for checks OR balances.

Glad Giant Eagle was able to reopen. I can't get to Marshall Shadeland on a bike without injury by a drivist. πŸ˜‘

My favorites are the doods who berate me for owning two ebikes. One for shitty weather and one for nice weather. I live in Pittsburgh. I commute daily. I don't drive. It's hilly here. And fuck off. #bikesky

I already don't drive. Never have. I bike almost everywhere & take transit if I need to. But I have to fly many places because Greyhound is very unreliable and Amtrak takes entirely too long. Get it together inter-city ground transportation.

It's a chrimbus eve miracle. My Spring Hill bus was running late but I still managed to catch the rare Emsworth flyer to get to my sister's house for my family gathering tonight. Saved myself $35 in Uber fees. Thanks Pittsburgh Regional Transit. Not on bsky. πŸ™„

Hey @reportsstrip.bsky.social @bikepgh.bsky.social @cityofpittsburgh.bsky.social Make Penn Ave a PROTECTED BIDIRECTIONAL BIKE LANE. NOW. Before someone πŸ’€β˜ οΈ Your compromise is shit. Fix it.

A sign placed sideways in a car travel lane would be inexcusable. Our database shows they’re common place for bike lanes.

How bike lanes are maintained by a city sets a tone for how they feel about bicyclists.

I am fed up with this "better than nothing" bullshit in #stripdistrictpittsburgh. We need PROTECTED BIDIRECTIONAL 🚲 INFRA thru the Strip to Lawrenceville & beyond. ##extendpenn This was a shit compromise at the safety of all cyclists. I do not want to ride in Spring Way with the dumpsters & trash.

It is disconnected from the bidirectional Penn Ave bike lane. Lame. CONTINUOUS PROTECTED BIDIRECTIONAL BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE ON PENN AVE NOW! Smallman Street is dangerous and I am not riding thru a fuckin garbage dumpster alley to patronize businesses in the #stripdistrictpittsburgh

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Thanks. I am already trying to make this bike more "me". A friend offered to paint it purple. He paints cars and has all the right equipment. I am looking for zebra print basket liners. I ordered a front basket. The basket has giant holes in it. πŸ˜’I already have a zebra pannier coming.
