I doubt anything embarrasses them at this point.

Forgiving infrastructure assumes people make mistakes. A person on a bike who loses their balance and falls shouldn't pay for it with their life just because there was no buffer between them and a vehicle 100 times their weight.

We need to ban guns. At some point, this process has to start. I'm fucking tired of recurring news stories about dead children because halfwit adults cling to their emotional support weapons like it's 1850. If you support gun rights, you support dead children.

"Bike lanes are always empty!" Yeah, because bikes move through them quickly as opposed to getting stuck in gridlock like cars do. Well functioning infrastructure, should be empty MOST OF THE TIME. When it's not, it's a problem.

A war on walking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. The #UrbanTruth is that #CarDependency is still the norm in far too many cities, and the #RoadLobby will do everything they can to keep it going. Don’t buy the lie. #WarOnWalking

No one tells you about the tennis elbow after getting a new tattoo on your inner forearm.

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport

Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war

Sidewalks that dump pedestrians into the street for the benefit of turning cars is hostile design. It shouldn't be allowed design in any proper city. 90° corners direct behavior and force motorists to slow their speed and pay attention. This is how you create safe streets.

An *almost* perfect pic of @cheekface.bsky.social in St. Louis tonight. Sorry, Greg. You guys were incredible!

"ALL GUNS"

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

If you're having trouble visualizing 57 men ignored an attack on another human, this might help. 57 people is 11 basketball teams + 2 5 football teams + 2 A school bus full of children Four 12-person felony juries, plus nine people. That's how many men failed to help this poor woman. #Cornell7

Transit agency websites should have a “How to pay your fare” page that’s linked prominently from the home page. When I get to a new city, I don’t need instructions on how to ride the bus or train; that’s the same everywhere. I need instructions on paying, which is different everywhere.

It’s remarkable how many people can move on a street when those people don’t feel the need to always take a massive car with them. Mobility in cities is about space.

Hey fellow alumni — Cornell Board of Trustees: trustees@cornell.edu Alumni Affairs: alumniaffairs@cornell.edu And if you’d like to support the Cornell Daily Sun:

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car. They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

But I need to smile more.

Driving a car for errands is so stressful. Biking (on protected infrastructure) is not. More Americans should have the ability to decide how to complete each trip w/o car dependency forced on them. 🚲 ❤️

100%! The climate doesn't care if we are Democrats or Republicans: When we mess with it, it messes with us (and it bats last). Most Americans are concerned about climate change. Let's set aside partisan differences & solve this problem before it messes more with what we love. @katharinehayhoe.com

We Need to Stop Talking Like Climate Change Is Partisan

Climate change should be seen as a shared challenge to solve together, not a political debate, write Katharine Hayhoe and Dana R. Fisher.
