Here's to hope. All we've got left.
It's dogshit stank season in Indy.

God, I really hate that smell when the snow melts. Effing lazy dog owners, stacking up poop for weeks.

Watching 'Waiting for Guffman' and I just laughed so hard that I Trumped my pants.

Why not 25mph for all of indy neighborhood streets? Why just this one neighborhood?
Introduced by Councilor @jesseforindy.bsky.social at last night’s Indy Council Meeting- proposals that will at long last lower the speed limit to 25mph across the entire Near Eastside (areas marked with green X’s). Huge step as we work to implement safer designs across the neighborhood.

Enjoying that I don't have to shovel out a car and worry about someone taking my shoveled parking spot. No car, much less worry and stress.

Propping an obviously demented and dangerous national leader is not a good strategy.
McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

Indiana policies that heavily favor landlords and quick evictions increase homelessness that we all pay for. Stop giving landlords to much power. Folks need to have a chance to stay homed and weather disruptions.
I'm disappointed that I and others ASKED and warned this might happen before THANKSGIVING ...and it happened anyway

Lack of Eviction prevention CAUSES HOMELESSNESS

Indy programs that offer free eviction help are merging
But some key positions are still unfilled.

We need more hugs. Fewer fascists.

Why is a NYS police officer parked illegally in the 10th Ave. bike lane where federal DEA jackboots always park? And why does he have a plate cover? And why is he such a reckless driver? Lots of questions. I'll get answers on Monday. But it's outrageous if NYS is loaning officers to DEA.

Funny / sad story, I was called last week by a board member of a state level bicycle advocacy org while they were driving home. I asked that they call another time when it was safe to do so - also stating that it was against my org's policy. They declined and kept on talking, putting folks at risk.

This Venezuela thing is a kidnapping, and the ransom is US oil industry access to their reserves and markets.

This is some robber baron type ish. So embarrassing internationally.

Just sent notes to both of my Indiana senators about the Venezuela attacks and extrajudicial kidnapping of a foreign leader being why they should be working on impeachment.

Sadly, I don't think they care. But we need to keep on being fired up, because elections still count in the US.

New Haven’s Doug Hausladen often says “I didn’t hear the question, but I know sidewalks are the answer.”

Sidewalks are both essential for mobility *and* and an asset, and cities should very obviously be in charge of building and maintaining them.

Who Should Pay to Fix the Sidewalk?
Denver has made sidewalk upkeep a public responsibility, becoming the largest US municipality to fund and maintain this critical but unsung pedestrian infrastructure.

“Car bloat”—increasingly oversized automobiles—worsens road safety, affordability and the environment.

Here are some of the stories I wrote in 2025 examining the trend and proposing solutions. 🧵

In @vox.com, I likened car bloat to secondhand smoke (which helped bring down the US tobacco industry).
Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.
