This might be a controversial opinion but I think it should cost at least $5 a day to park your car on the street in New York City.

Further, charging even $1 a day would make it MUCH EASIER to find parking in the city because it would encourage people to get rid of junkers that don't even run.

You’re wrong! The occupants before Biden were the worst.

Pickles and fruit ketchup. I highly recommend bread and butter pickle slices.

Oof, I thought the first drawing was a row of graves for killed cyclists 😅

“Special leg”?

Here in Québec, there are mandatory philosophy classes for all college bound student. They are often derided by students, and other folks never think about them.

One of the reasons, I think, is that there is little “hard” content in the courses. They are just there to test our critical thinking.

Please, please, please-submit to good journals (society + reputed publishers), respect peer review, and do your reviews with integrity. So important. Thanks to all of you who do. @steve-carpenter.bsky.social @esajournals.bsky.social #Ecosystems

the most afraid person about crime I know ever knew was my grandfather who spend the bulk of the last 20 years of his life watching Fox News in his house.

This is a question I once asked at city council. Turns out, in our regulations, planting trees has an “outcome” driven meaning. If the sapling die, it has to be replaced and nurtured to maturity. I was pleasantly surprised.

Finally someone speaks about what could be done.

Harsh. I got age checked the last time at about 36 (clean shave and some acne). At 44, I think my chances have reached zero as a massive trench now burrows on my forehead (thanks, my kids).

This. I have tremendous empathy for climate anxiety and despair, but very little for those telling others it's too late. The former is unavoidable to some degree if you understand what we're up against, the latter is untrue (climate isn't pass/fail and every degree matters) and undermines action.

Holy cows, they look G1 AF. Need.

This is obviously a fake AI video. How would these people have gotten there without parking right in front of the performer? Huh?!? Gotcha there, woke virus.

Newbury Street is car-free, from Berkeley Street to Mass Ave, for 10 Sundays this summer from 10:00AM to 8:00PM.

🤍

This is an outrage and extremely out-of-touch.

Sure, a well-funded public transit system might get people to places more quickly and safely.

But dealing with traffic and the associated horn-honking + air pollutants builds character. And isn't that ultimately the point?

Ugh. I think I do and it’s not great.

A sneaky bikeshare rack assaulted me as I got out of Toronto’s downtown airport. Coerced me to use it and get to my airbnb WAY faster than in a car or Uber, for 2.62$. I was disgusted that my standard carryon luggage fit in the front rack. What a joke.

@michelle345.bsky.social Back living in downtown Chicago after 16 years away. Bike path on Lake Shore Drive bridge is spectacular as is 606 trail. Clark and Wells Streets need protective lanes and somebody please repaint all the faded white paint on every bike lanes. 🙂

Like education, healthcare and libraries, transit is an essential public service (namely, to get to the aforementioned healthcare, schools, libraries).

Profit is not the goal. Here in QC, we have a strong pro public service current (compared to NA). Only lottery, cannabis and liquor turn a profit).

Except very rare examples like the Singapore metro, if a transit system is making a profit, it's doing something wrong. That should NEVER be the aim of our public transport, it should be to improve connectivity and drive economic growth. To do that, it needs to be affordable.

Why are bike lanes being fought so hard right now? Powerful people are trying to take away an option for people to fight the climate crisis. To keep us in cars to concentrate wealth through the expense of car ownership. This more than bike lanes this is democracy we are fighting for.

It’s used as a wedge. Before microcommuting (which was not too long ago) cyclists were seen as a lycra elite hogging the road. That has stuck with people (reality is much different now), and evil politicians will use it. Evil as in: “ I’ll gain power from it even though I know it will hurt people”.

Always be smart and safe. It’s mostly OK to use sidewalks when you are considerate to other users.
