Do with this what you will, but the car with this plate is in Ladd's with 1yr expired tags

It also looks like it hasn't physically moved in nearly a decade? Bizarre

I bike past it all the time, and I've needed to get this information off my chest for a while. It keeps me up at night.

Every day I wake up, GitHub is having some form of an outage, and then I text a friend to make sure them or their spouse wasn’t impacted by the layoffs at their company

I took the quote post down because I can’t even stand to have her racist remarks on my profile, even as criticism

Just go read the original article and then immediately vomit in the nearest trash can

Enduring unimaginable amounts of psychic damage seeing PBOT request feedback about allowing Waymo on the streets the same time as TriMet is announcing updated service cuts

The next logical question must be: β€œhow does this city teach motorists to anticipate this infrastructure, if this attitude precludes the infrastructure from ever being built in the first place”

Just crossed paths with a person in a wheelchair, missing a leg, turning around at the top of the Bob Stacey Overcrossing because the north elevator is still boarded shut and broken

The key to a happy life is putting the tofu to press over lunch, scheduling the rice to cook by dinner, and admiring how much your camellia is blooming right now

The Texas City disaster is generally considered the worst industrial accident in U.S. history. Witnesses compared the scene to the fairly recent images of the 1943 air raid on Bari and the much larger devastation after an atomic bomb was dropped at Nagasaki.

Kids born in early 2026 have grown up their whole lives having probably never seen this elevator working. Feel old yet?

February: 159 bike miles over 28 days. A lot of gross, rainy days, but I've been noticing a lot more trees blooming and early spring bulbs on my rides. The break in the weather is near -- I can feel it

Entirely car free month! Zero miles in the car!
