One of the persistent lies is that this project has anything to do with freight:
1. 80% of the Port of NY/NY is Elizabeth and Newark. Only 10% is the Port of Bayonne
2. More than that, port trucks are spread throughout the day because they wouldn't fit in the port. Nothing to do with peak demand

NJ announced a change to the Turnpike expansion project: it WON'T widen the Turnpike extension in Bayonne & JC. That's a win, but not time to take a victory lap yet. They'll still add car lanes on the bridge approaching it, so, more cars, pollution, & traffic. Spend that $10.5 bil on NJT instead!

It brings me no pleasure to admit but the UK eats our lunch w/r/t book cover design. Many such cases.
Which cover do you prefer? Now that I have author copies of both US and UK editions of TIGERS BETWEEN EMPIRES, I am giving away 1 of each, signed, to 2 random people who like/reskeet this. US addresses only. Will announce winners on Friday, Oct 24, 2025, before official release (Nov 4). 🐅🌍 #booksky

I'm in the William Morris museum in Walthamstow and it's funny how this issue of his socialist magazine Commonweal is just... posts. Morris would have been a poster

Shirt I illustrated for @hudcostreets.org is out in the wild, and I love how it turned out. So many of us in Hudson County rely on NJ Transit, PATH trains, and our bikes to get around. We're one of the most densely populated places in the U.S., and our transportation infrastructure ain't cutting it.

Brennan and Bhalla are basically more effective as nominees than my seated assembly people have been during their full tenures

Jersey City/Hoboken – After Disney’s ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live off the air indefinitely, Democratic nominees for State Assembly Katie Brennan and Ravi Bhalla called on New Jersey to cancel all film and TV tax credits to networks that censor critics of the Trump administration.

I got to make some artwork for this good event, which is a nice reminder that the public space that lines our streets can be used for things other than storing cars. Stop by on Friday.
This Friday, let’s celebrate streets for people! We’ll observe Park(ing) Day, an annual, global tradition, by turning 3 Jersey City parking spaces into pocket parks for the day, featuring food, games, activities, and no-cost bike tune-ups. 1/3

ok fine i dont like bikes anymore
Burning Man’s wrapped up, cleanup’s still going. The news and reels love to focus on dust, drama, and making fun of people out there.
But what gets forgotten?
It’s actually the world’s biggest bike event.

Andrew Cuomo's new logo is, unfortunately, a second-rate version of this branding I created with @eleanalittle.bsky.social for her city council campaign here in Jersey City (incidentally, the actual home of the Statue of Liberty).

There have been "NYC" UCI races. They spend lots of time here in New Jersey.
Where would the pros race if there was a Tour de France stage set in New York City, to get a real feel for being a NYC cyclist?
