Imagine if the laws for driving changed every time you crossed a city border. It would be a mess, impossible to follow, & ripe for police enforcement abuse right? Same goes for e-bikes, & why #SB956 needs to be DOA.
The mocking bird outside my work this morning was making kitten sounds.
The lengths that Trump and Netanyahu will go to to stay in power and out of the courts. This should be considered a war crime.
Footage published by Iranian media today shows damage to Chehel Sotoon, a 17th century, Safavid-era landmark palace and garden located in the historic centre of Isfahan, after air strikes in its vicinity.
The Persian garden that surrounds the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We don’t know what the targets are. In Isfahan, however, authorities said the governor’s office was struck, along with a UNESCO-listed historic site.”
holy shit

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social. And PLEASE SHARE it as much as possible.
I’ve sent it to a LOT of politicians.

It's 90 degrees today (in los angeles) and this is why i always assumed Spring started in February
The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news.
These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.
Turner Classic Movies is airing Gaslight during the SotU, which seems like an infinitely better use of my time than watching republicans salivate and democrats applaud sarcastically.
So if -- and I write Sfi-Fi and Fantasy, so I'm all about the if -- LLMs were a secret gateway for demonic forces to invade the world, how different would it look?

Benjamin Sisko being invoved in "starting riots" is hinted at in #StarfleetAcademy's "Series Acclimation Mil"⬆️. This is of course a cllback to the Bell Riots (#StarTrekDS9's "Past Tense"↙️) and an image of Gabriel Bell that looks very much like Sisko appearing in Earth records ("Little Green Men"↘️).
Time for our weekly reminder that there is only one ed tech investment that is proven to work, and it's hiring more teachers and paying them better.
There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.
(15 in Manhattan btw)
Good morning BlueSky & Happy #BlackHistoryMonth
Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic"
1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property
2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention
3) No masks
4) No secret police: Officers must have ID
5) Keep enforcement away from

ambulances are so loud because of cars
you can't walk to get a coffee because of cars
you have to drive everywhere because everything is built far apart because of cars
you have to wear reflective gear to jog in your neighborhood because of cars
you fear for your dog's life because of cars
Brother if reading the Epstein files and seeing the world’s richest white men OPENLY PLAN how to kill off the poor and non-white of the world doesn’t convince you to:
- get vaccinated
- wear a mask
- take care of your fellow man and neighbor
- look out for children
You’re lost.
you don't know your neighbors because of cars
your city doesn't make enough in taxes because of cars
busses are slow because of cars
they won't build light rail because of cars
your city's air is awful because of cars
one of the leading causes of death and injury from accident: cars
Kinda annoying how OPD has been using the new bike lanes by city hall as parking.
"What if the Cardassians were crossed with the Ferengi" is no basis for a system of government
