We hope this makes you happy, Carol.
RESULTS: Democrat Tim Keller has won reelection as mayor of Albuquerque.
He defeats a former Republican sheriff, who took issue with Keller's executive order that limited collaboration with ICE.
And that's not all: Liberal faction seizes majority a city council.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

I’ve been kickin’ Ortieb panniers for ~15yrs. This particular pair for ~5. They’re even still 95% waterproof despite an utter lack of care on my part.
My only complaint is that the buckles snap like soda crackers when it’s below 20° even when they were fairly new. Yes, I have spares. Still annoyed.

Planners have floated projects to curb motor vehicles from the Financial District's narrow roads for at least half a century, but a lack of city leadership and pushback from big businesses have stymied the dream for an area that continues to favor a minority of drivers.
'No Better Place': Mamdani Must Pedestrianize Financial District - Streetsblog New York City
Residents of Lower Manhattan have been demanding pedestrianized streets for decades, but the city and Big Business keep thwarting them. Sounds like a job for Mayor Mamdani.

Several different systems of size markings for bicycle tires are in existence. The modern ISO system is not as familiar as it should be, this article explains it.
