This can't be right. I'm constantly told I'm very hysterical terms that it's bikes that are the danger to people on sidewalks and that cars are predictable...

It's helpful to remember that when a cyclist collides with a pedestrian, it's vanishingly unlikely to cause a serious injury, unlike when a car collides with a pedestrian or cyclist. I was hurt worse when a runner crashed into me than the one time a cyclist collided with me as a pedestrian.

Casual reminder that Zohran Mamdani’s AMA is available on r/MicromobilityNYC if you want to see how the Dem nominee answers the best questions from the community.

For all the breathless, sweating panic about Mamdani one time saying "seize the means of production" and AOC being both hot and socialist, by far the greatest threat of central economic planning and gulag labor comes indisputably from the Right.

Cowards of weak character are scared of the subway.

Also what does his SAT score have to do with “racial shell games”?

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

They want the benefits of the establishments built by generations of liberalism but they want to control them and subject them to their will, as well as pull up the ladder behind them. And then hollow bread and circuses for the masses.

This whole thing is idiotic, but I’m stuck on the “likely above median score for black students.” Likely based on what, Rufo’s vibes?

Nothing Mamdani did is untoward—unless one is operating under a worldview that views both racial hierarchy and "college crimes" as issues befitting both breathless coverage and Deep Throat-level secrecy regarding sourcing.

That is, if you are the New York Times.

The personal freedom party mandating that you must take the least efficient route to work every day.

Dozens of new officers will crack down on NYC delivery workers riding e-bikes and mopeds The Department of Transportation plans to hire 45 new peace officers targeting delivery workers who break traffic laws.

Transit officials have said e-bikes account for less than 4% of traffic injuries in the city.” A policy that targets 4% instead of 96% is glaringly disproportionate. Drivers cause the most deaths, injuries, and destruction. Ask yourself why your insurance premiums are so high!

I’ve been genuinely astonished how slow Twitter/Bluesky left-leaning people have been to discover that Reddit is anti-Trump as hell. I still hear “Reddit is for MAGA incel” type jokes all the time and like, dude, that’s your audience. Come on back, the water’s fine.

Without exaggeration, the last 50+ years of biological research completely discredits every race science claim. It is the single biggest indicator of being a malicious dullard and a reactionary ideologue. The fact I’ve had to dedicate a single minute of my career to addressing it is absurd

I remember thinking at the time that the American right’s only real issue with the Taliban was that they were Muslim misogynists rather than Christian. Dinesh D’Souza even then said America had invited Islamist terrorism by being too liberal and gay.

NYC, we must mobilize to crush this brigade of pathetically corrupt losers.

I know a diner that serves shakshuka but calls it “Athenian eggs”.

It is shakshuka.

"His questions really cut to the core of the stuff we were talking about. And that's really what you need in a good executive of a 300,000-person bureaucracy. You need to have enough granular understanding, but also know what the right questions to ask are."

Never used to see kids on bikes in Astoria. Now we have 1 more real lane and you see them all over. The people that fight this are not well.

True, but it is also insane to think a world in which they banned women from higher ed would be better or even have more (surviving) children.

It was a mostly female medical team that saved my better half and our little one when delivery went sideways - bar them from college and I'm net -2 people.

men who have known only luxury and the privilege of a long peace daydreaming about how based the premodern world was

sawing off the branch they're sitting on as actively and willfully as they can

Also, if the interviews do go completely away (they won’t), then there had better be an entire ACLU Brigade in ICE, backing up the Center for American Progress Legion there.

Standardless hiring cuts both ways.

And if the doomer reply is “well, they won’t hire THEM,” well … how? With … interviews?

What Zohran's DOT Commissioner needs to do, part 2: Plug the bike lane Network gaps.

If you're pissed off at the NYT, here's your chance to put my money where your mouth is.

This long weekend, I will donate $0.50 to @thecity.nyc for each of:
- every new Bluesky follower I get
- every new Bluesky follower THEY get
- everyone who reposts this post

Six months into congestion pricing: Traffic is down and business is up.

But that’s not all, the revenue generated by the program is already funding critical transit upgrades that will benefit millions of New Yorkers.

I remember some of the anti-Zohran crowd on here claiming that criticizing Clyburn’s endorsement of Cuomo (for mayor of a city neither Clyburn nor Cuomo live in) was racist because he’s a civil rights “icon” & that was why Zohran would lose.

Deeply and unforgivably pathetic.

He has to have her on and say she is smarter than him.
