the funny thing about people in the western world being angry at sikhs for taking all the trucking jobs is that people in India are also angry with them for taking all the trucking jobs. It's not you. It's what we do. We are the Truck Guys.

"In Mexico City, a pedestrian activist called Peatónito, a mix of the Spanish words for pedestrian (peatón) and astonished (atónito), is famous for walking over cars. He wears a Mexican wrestler mask, a cape and proclaims himself to be a superhero for pedestrians."

"carwalking" has been added to the Urbanism+ feed. "Carwalking is the act of stepping onto and walking across a stationary car...a response to cars being parked illegally in areas exclusively allocated to pedestrians and a protest against the negative impacts of high motorization rates..."

Awfully white week on @listenbrainz.org this week. That Denzel Curry gets better every time I hear it, Flatt and Scruggs are classic, and this is my least favorite Sons of Kemet, but it's still incredible. I remembered this Lucia being recorded really badly, but it doesn't seem that way this time.

Bart's a good man doing a hard job. You should think about ordering some stuff for his classroom.

I haven’t done this in a few years, but due to budget cuts I wasn’t able to order any new supplies for my classroom, so I am sharing my Amazon wishlist. I teach in a self-contained ID classroom for kids with severe disabilities. Even just sharing this would mean a lot to me. Thanks!

I really don't think the Autobots are the good guys. Notice how you can only be an Autobot if you're some type of wheeled vehicle? Decepticons are all about diversity: you can change into a plane, a boom box, even a gun. Autobots are all about conformity and racial heterogeneity.

At some point, you've been lied to so often and so obviously that the fault lies with you. These investors (other than the index find investors who now own this shit) deserve what they get.

The Killer is Not Alone (1975) Jesús García de Dueñas (co-writer/ director) Time for a Spanish giallo. I've never seen it. I buy these things and go in cold. I'll follow it up with my favorite thing - reading the many ways people avoid calling it a giallo 😅 📽 #Giallo #Filmsky #MondoMacabre

Do you know about soccer tennis? Saturday nights are tournament night for the sport on the Granville Street Pedestrian Zone, & these teams are no joke! Nice way to cap off a great day on the people-street. Overheard one family talking about how they “can’t believe how great Granville Street is now.”

The Big Apple bench is going in. The ball chairs that were all soccer balls during the World Cup, now reflect all sorts of summer sports you can watch on Granville Street patios. Tonight’s Dominican Street Dance drew a crowd. And simple games help make the street magnetic. Week Two looking good.

Day 1: "5 (unexpected - this is optional but makes a compelling hook) things in my book" List 'em on the photo/clip or do a carousel with 5 slides and an aesthetic photo related to the thing and elaborate on each thing in the caption.

So is this just it: the Sullivans take the ball on the right wing and cross it in? That's the trick? #doop

I've been away for a bit, but I guess this is what being a Union fan is like this year, huh? #doop

Pretty weird how the city can just take away your parking spot, that you paid for and you own. Oh wait, it's actually just a piece of city-owned street that they want to do something else with? Hard to see how you've got a claim to it, then.

Stop the War on Cars. Stop taking our parking spots away.

~60 stops is a lot to get from Passyunk Sq to the Mann Center! We need bus stop consolidation. 😁

This book sounds awesome; I can't wait to get a chance to read it in October.

This is absolutely bananas, but I like this individual's brand of insanity.

Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

Ornette Coleman and Thelonious Monk were geniuses who wrote music that small children could understand and connect with instantly, and 95% of jazz musicians would do well to follow their example.

This is correct. His attitude and vibe are top notch, but his records are full of too many spoken word pieces. The Family are way better than the Tennessee Three, too. Embarrassingly so.

Johnny Cash was overrated

Hüsker Dü was better than The Replacements

Mychal sits & shares that Ms. Rachel posted, “Black boys deserve to grow up.” This is not controversial, it is hope. Black library kids deserve to grow up to become Black library grown-ups. Black boys deserve to live in a world where that has not always felt true. Black boys deserve joy ✨

A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

This is real dickhead behavior. Time to rethink this, apologize and do better in the future. This is not the way.

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d ago

They were like “Trans people are not a monolith” and “Like-minded allies may disagree on specific media boycotts” and stuff like that. It was a huge load off my mind!

A 1937 ad from the Philadelphia Transportation Company. This picture shows the L and the 10 (T1) on the Market Street Bridge! In the mid-1950s, this section of elevated track was replaced with the Market Street Subway and demolished.
