I get that the Super Bowl is usually held in a warmer climate because no one gets a particular advantage from it.

But I think the game would be infinitely more interesting if it was always held in Minnesota. 🧣💨❄️

Looking like a city-wide forced road diet, induced by snowbanks today. Everything's down to one lane!

Winamp skin featuring Forrest Gump promo art. Goku's head has been photoshopped onto Tom Hanks' body. Text reads, "Goku is Forrest Gump". It is beautiful.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

People who stand up 10 minutes before the train reaches its next stop and wait by the door: what’s going through your mind?

How quaint, thinking people in their 20s can afford to live in the center of major cities!

Normalize asking to turn on AI features and then never bothering the user again.

Huh, I was wondering why the commuter rail (nbpt/rockport) felt kind of empty this morning. Guess everyone drove?

This to be closely followed by “I’m not gonna sell this book back because I might need it later in my career”.

Sitting on the train and watching some kid highlight about 90% of the lines in his textbook. Witnessing a classic rite of passage and feeling nostalgic.

Cars cross through our cities, towns, and neighborhoods without end, but motorists get angry and impatient when people need to cross their streets.

Motor-normality has skewed the way people view our built environment, creating arrogance of flow for cars, and dangerous barriers for people.

You’re a Cyclist Who Was Just Struck by a Car Driver. Here’s Why It Was Your Fault You were riding during rush hour. Why were you riding then? There are way too many cars on the road. If you were commuting, you should have contact...

"The only appropriate time and place to ride a bike is a time beyond time and a place beyond place, where the space-time continuum is bent so strangely you are both everywhere and nowhere, eternal and nonexistent."

My favorite transportation mechanic is when you’re in a major city and all modes of transport have to stop while a bridge raises so some dude can bring his non commercial boat under it at rush hour.

GitHub CAPTCHAs seem to have gone so far as to be easier for robots than humans.
