Guess how much they're asking for this mansion in Cleveland Heights?

Ohio coal plants, including one formerly propped up by HB6, to get new federal lifeline under Trump Two Ohio coal power plants have been picked by President Donald Trump to get a share of $175 million worth of federal funding to pay for upgrades to rural coal plants keep them in operation.

When fake conservatives say this is all about letting the market decide I get so mad. He’s literally subsidizing failing coal plants.

So rare to get a functional walkable retail corridor like this in Ohio. This one, Lorain avenue in cleveland, is emerging as a legit one tho imo.

We can #StopSuperSpeeders BEFORE they kill people. Similar to how drunk drivers are sometimes required to use ignition interlock devices.

People 👏🏼 like 👏🏼 this 👏🏼 should 👏🏼 still 👏🏼 be 👏🏼 with 👏🏼 us! 👏🏼

I love how Waymo used its huge megaphone to blame the child (darting into traffic!) but we didn’t hear the family’s side.

One reason I think these huge companies should be held to a higher standard than normal drivers is they are incredibly powerful and wealthy.

City Boosters Can't Ignore the Quality of City Services This is a big missing piece to rebuilding the urban middle class.

I love @schmangee.bsky.social 's honesty & perspective here. the way she describes how people wanting to trust the system get let down and eventually give up.

Los Angeles is becoming a cautionary tale about what happens when cities just completely abdicate their responsibility for keeping people safe on the roads imo. Site where a pregnant mother was killed on a family bike ride

I just bought a subscription to the Washington post a few weeks ago because their transportation reporter Ian Duncan is doing all this amazing work like deep dives on road safety in Albuquerque 😭😭😭😭😭

Abolishing ICE*!

True story. A friend of mine had an awesome union job at an EV battery plant in Youngstown (rust belt poster child city).

Guess what? They laid off the whole plant smdh.

Research for my book. Loooooove this stuff. Guess who makes a prominent appearance?

Kind of awkward how we had a backlash against cancellation right before news came to light that a bunch of celebrities and business tycoons vacationed at pedophile island 🥴

Did your family eat at restaurants when you were young? It was pretty rare for us.

I was just reading my daughter Ramona Quimby Age 8. The climax is her eating at a restaurant with her family, a special occasion

Thinking about this re: the book I’m working on re: children & public space

My question is this. Where are the big important agencies like ODOT on important practical transportation questions for essential services like schools?

All of this is so weird and dysfunctional

Goated era for cars I don’t care what anyone says

If you live in Oregon especially outside of Portland. Please contact your state representative asap. #BikeBus should be all over the state & this Safe Routes to School funding helps make that happen.

“But solar panels consume prime farm land!”

For this book I'm working on, trying to find the craziest car line story. I vaguely remember one about people waiting two three hours to pick up their kids.

Does anyone remember where?

A bald eagle perched above a highway? New national symbol just dropped.

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Where I'm located e-bikes *insanely* outperform buses, and often beat driving (due to congestion, parking). E-bike easily beats bus by 2x on any given point-to-point trip. The reasons to forego e-bike are: lack of safe infrastructure, rider ability, bike maintenance, theft risk, more than 1 person.

One thing MLK Day reminds me is, right now we just lack good leadership. When are we gonna have someone really brave and admirable and principled and really good at organizing people we can look up to again?
