I got some great pictures of @pk421.bsky.social from his friends & coworkers today when I stopped by to check out their new office.

I know they feel the loss of him everyday, too

Hug your people & tell them you love them every chance you get.

A happy man with a big smile, wearing a flannel top, with his arms crossed across his chest.

A man sits in front of several computer screens while looking at them with a serious look on his face. Angle is from the side. He is wearing a baseball cap & hoodie.

And AI rendering of a happy man smiling with his arms crossed, with an ocean behind him & swirls of colorful light in the sky behind him, made to look like a Starry Night.

No women, no safety

Women on bikes are the indicator species of a city’s cycling health.

If you don’t see many of us, it’s not about lack of interest — it’s about safety.

First day of #WeekWithoutDriving was a breeze. I’m glad MPLS is taking strides to make it easier to live car-free.

This yearly event challenges us to put ourselves in the shoes of kids, elders, disabled and justice impacted people who don’t have cars and/or licenses. Join us!

My daughter just took the Borealis yesterday & is enjoying a day in Chicago before heading back tomorrow.

Her pictures have been so much fun.

An observation train car that is filled with windows and seats that face out for people to enjoy the views from the train. There are several people sitting in the seats. This appears to have e been taken in the afternoon, on a sunny day.

This picture is taken from a seat at a concert venue. This seat appears to be very high & it is looking down onto a stage with a grand piano in the middle of it. There are many lights around the top of the picture & many seats towards the bottom, with the stage being in the middle of the frame.

E-bike subsidy programs are one of those perfect policies with zero downsides. Accessible, healthy, low cost, and moves people away from car use. AND IT MAKES PEOPLE REALLY HAPPY!!

The Blue Line's outage is a stark reminder of the efficiency of rail transit. Just to provide a basic replacement service, Metro Transit has had 25-30 replacement buses out at a time, more than double the usual number of trains on the line, and the end-to-end trip time is also double!

Uh hey, a heads up:

This is probably a good time to make sure that you go into settings on your profiles and make sure that "autoplay video" is turned off. Setting labels like 'violence' to "hide" or "don't show" is likewise a good idea if you don't want to see the TPUSA shooting by accident.
