Reducing car dependency is a key tool in defending democracy in a whole lotta ways.

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

Anthony's Spinning Circles here too! @circlesspinning.bsky.social · 15d

For those in #Sinclair and #Nexstar markets.... #Boycott the advertisers!! After all, Disney got the message that way! There may be some you can’t, but there are some you can!

The USA has spent $2.85 Trillion on roads and highways in the last decade and traffic still hasn’t been fixed.

And they can put it at Yankee stadium where that shit belongs. Pete Rose is the kind of guy their fans will get on their feet to cheer for.

Good transportation cost money. Great transportation cost A LOT of money.

Exactly this! You want better trains and a better environment, stop pouring vast sums of money on the exact modal choice that will take you away from that, and start spending on rail with a DEDICATED STREAM of funding.

Fredo only knows how to win in a system rigged for him. Look at how he did Patterson dirty because he felt entitled to be governor. Carpetbagger!

He has known that sort of dirty shit since he was a teen… It’s a family thing. Remember when Koch ran against his dad and signs started appearing along Queens Blvd saying “Vote for Cuomo, Not the Homo!”

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Cumo is a bigger joke that Curtis Sliwa, and that’s pretty pathetic! You are the mayor NY needs!

These people are truly evil pieces of shot, a stain on humanity. They exist to sow chaos and break the proper functioning of democracies. Truly the most deplorable losers in human history.

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €.

Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day.

Leadership.

The Ford family is such white trash! That is one gene pool that needs some serious chlorine!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,653,727! It’s time to leave the cesspool of twitter for good! (haven’t even logged into that shithole in over a month)

From a guy on X.

Man sits by me on train.
MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here
ME: Really?
MAN: Loads mate
ME: How'd you know?
MAN: There's signs aren't there?
ME: I guess?
MAN: I love them
(47 minutes of awkward silence.)
Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.

Hamilton Nolan, welcome to The War on Cars. This is spot on. @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

The car-centric age of development is one long mistake.

Congestion Pricing Now! @congestionpricing.bsky.social · Jun 30

The toll so far from Kathy Hochul's #CongestionPricing reversal summed up in a single graphic, courtesy of @streetsblognyc.bsky.social. More cars on the road, more pollution in the air, more lives lost to traffic violence, more wasted time, less revenue. A dark day for NYC and the world.

All We've Lost: Congestion Pricing Should Have Started Today - Streetsblog New York City

Let's take stock of what we've lost because the MTA's central business district cameras are not tolling drivers.

How fucking retarded are these chuds? Literally 2% of those below the poverty line in all 5 boroughs drive into Manhattan. That means 98% come by another means, like subway, bus, walking, biking. 2 Goddamned percent! Talk about a swing and a miss, sit your ass back on the bench, carbrain!

Lenin has been looking pretty raggedy these days. This just seems like a perfect situation, both problems solved, perfectly! Pack him in ice for the flight to red square!
