They did it again. They have shown they will continue to do it over and over. Direct fire at the mayor and his appointed executive

Frontline DOTI people are trying to do good and their leaders continue to fail them and the city
We are incredibly disappointed DOTI and the Mayor caved into the interest of a wealthy Denver family for the Alameda safety project, yet again following their pattern of watering down road safety projects when people with connections complain.

Sorry, but a lack of support for autonomous vehicles is not among Sec Pete's biggest missed opportunities at USDOT.

For instance:
🔹 Failure to stop Tesla from lying about Autopilot, FSD, etc
🔹 Failure to curb car bloat
🔹 Continuing to spend fed $$ on highway expansions that won't fix congestion

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

an example of what we mean when we talk about “car brain”: presupposing that every description of streets and street usage (i.e. traffic) is about cars and cars only.

every time someone tells me that “traffic was terrible today” i stifle the urge to reply “you mean CAR traffic was terrible today.”
Just had the mind melting argument raised that “bus lanes and bike lanes block streets” and it’s like, um, you see all those bikes zipping past you when you’re stuck in traffic behind other cars? You see how they’re moving? Yeah. So they don’t block streets. They move people efficiently.

Very frustrating to still see public campaigns like this from Delta PD telling kids to wear bright reflectors on their costumes and people to leave their bikes at home.

The risk to pedestrians on Halloween comes from drivers, not cyclists.

i like to think of LLMs as strong corroboration of the fact that we have zero fucking idea of how cognition works, because however it works, it can be powered by a glass of water & a burrito and not a whole lake & a city’s worth of electricity

Advocates and people on bikes are also not a monolith. I found it telling that enough people outside of the advocacy sphere are pissed that this is happening.

No one has organized this kind of response and it is happening any way.

People are fed up with unsafe streets and obstructionists.

"All of those parties requested that neither their names, business identities nor locations be used, fearing a repeat of the tactics they said they experienced."

Chickenshits. I noticed that the advocate's names were printed and their quotes attributed to them. They spoke with their whole voice.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Awesome to see this billboard up in Vancouver.

The polls and numbers show THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM - but that doesn't feel real and visceral to our institutions, which imagine a silent MAGA majority hiding under their bed.

You know what feels real? Ten million people in the streets, saying "Look around, THERE ARE MORE OF US"

One thing I always hear from heroism experts is that doing small courageous things equips us to do big ones later on.
My mother-in-law was nervous about wearing her #NoKings gear to the airport for her flight this morning, but she got *lots* of compliments. Even the TSA agent told her, "I like your shirt."
