Usually the driver times it wrong. I end up stopped in the middle of thane, at the light, and they’re in the oncoming traffic lane. Makes my day.

I hang my head crying, tears falling on my top tube. I whimper, "I'm so owned" as I look up at the brake lights of the car that sped past me to get to the red light first.

Republicans want you dead and have the patience to let starvation do their work.

Meanwhile, the Republicans are praising their leadership and their sadistic policies.

I've no car, but I do have AAA.

AAA really will come pick up your bike, they aren’t lying.
The driver, when we arrived at Belmont Wheelworks, asked if he could take a picture, saying “It’s my first bike!”

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

The triumph of bullshit

Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

Remember Republicans want you dead. Starvation is just one of their crueler methods.

What's truly scary is those failures are still out there thinking they have what it takes to be law enforcement when all they have is stupid and a desire to do harm

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in representative Adelita Grijalva because her vote would trigger the release of the Epstein files.

That tells you how incriminating the evidence is that Trump raped children.

On the 🚌 opening up my newest book by @nondriver.bsky.social I love to see how they connect climate and transportation.

"we know that if we don't act to reduce emissions now, the disruption our children will have to survive will be even worse."

10 minutes? Well I guess, if you want to take all the fun out of it. Those pads were done. Good timing.

Man my back hated working on cars. Bikes once they are on the stand are a joy in comparison.
