The consent manufacturing machine, having worked so well its owners cashed out and were replaced by venture capital who never bothered to read the instructions or do any maintenance, isn't really going "brr" as much as it's making the noise a dead starter makes, but they proceed nonetheless

This blows!
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

In response to the recent boiler explosion and chimney collapse at a Bronx public housing development, an association representing licensed plumbers is calling for an emergency inspection sweep of all New York City Housing Authority boilers to be conducted by its members.
Plumbers Propose Emergency Inspection of All NYCHA Boilers Post-Explosion
After THE CITY revealed the heating plant that blew up in a public housing building last month had not been inspected in years, the Plumbing Foundation says licensed professionals need to step in.

This Thanksgiving flip the script!

If you are looking to ruffle some feathers at the dinner table, try asking your SUV or Truck driving family member questions like:

Do you tow anything besides ego?
How many laptops can that rig haul?
Do you need a special license or is the little one ok?

I find this completely believable since "Improved" doesn't mean "sufficient".

and even if it's sufficient, the enormous subsidies to driving remain. My bus could come every 5 minutes and yet I'd still be paying for my bus pass while my colleagues who drive are given $200/mo parking passes free

WTF 🤬
ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

it’s pretty simple: you can either induce demand for things that suck and people hate (traffic), or you can do it for things that are good (bikes, the McRib)
The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The key to being seen by drivers is to stand out from distractions preventing the driver from seeing you.
It's called "cognitive conspicuity."
Dr Marc Green, an expert in the role of vision, perception & human factors in transportation collisions, says: "at night: moving pedal & ankle reflectors.

Research shows that failure of cognition, not lack of visibility, needs to be addressed

I had to go to a store on Bald Hill Road yesterday, so I took the bus(es). A total of 6 buses and a 4+ hour excursion for a trip that would have taken about an hour total with a car. If you ever want to feel like you're the least important person in the world, wait for a bus on Bald Hill Road.

We went to visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum today and I saw a great response to the claim that we can’t have DC statehood because it would make the flag look funny.

I still have a second gen kindle for bus reading. Just drag and drop PDFs on there of open access books and stuff
E-ink e-readers (maybe just Kobo idk) have gotta be the longest lasting pieces of tech. I can’t imagine ever needing to upgrade this thing. Just does exactly what I need it to do. Barely ever need to charge it. And mine is made out of recycled materials and can be repaired if it ever breaks.
