So quintessentialy German 🇩🇪. They could have just cut the valve stems. They could have slashed the tyres. Instead they methodically removed the air. Chapeaux dudes! 🙌🏻
The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 3d ago"The group criticises the space required by large vehicles in the city and demands, among other things, that parking areas be decommissioned and planted with vegetation. This could provide more shade and cooler streets during the summer months, the statement says."

One of French puppeteer Raphaël Gromy’s most recognizable performances features a puppet painting real artworks on canvas, blending puppetry, live performance, and visual art into a unique theatrical experience. 😊 IG: @artistsuniversum @raphael_gromy
Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"
Really Free Market at the Southern Village Green until 1PM. Bring stuff, take stuff. All free!
It’s been since forever I have ridden out to Saxapahaw! So long I couldn’t remember how to spell it. Nice to get back out on longer rides on the beautiful machine.

Same thing, but for people in disconnected neighbourhoods that require a two mile drive to visit a house a few hundred yards away
Katherine Hardy@kardyology.bsky.social · 2w agoOverheard an irate driver bemoaning that cyclists are using the roads that she is paying for. How do we educate them so they stop thinking that they own the roads. We ALL pay for infrastructure through our taxes but the cars cause the most damage.
First , I noticed the international date and time on the parking kiosk in the Rosemary st parking garage. I thought that was interesting, then I looked further down! 🤣🇩🇪 Hier ist mein Ticket. Tchuss
"Drivers struck and killed 7,080 people walking in the United States in 2024, 72% more than in 2009, when pedestrian deaths were at their lowest."
If there’s a war on cars in the USA then the cars have won
American vehicles have grown heavier, faster, and wider every decade since 1982 — and federal fuel economy rules reward the growth. Evidence from 50 years of EPA data.

Why are you all still buying from him? Just stop and go to the store. See people. Just stop making him even wealthier having dog food delivered to your house.

I’m telling you, corruption is what‘s pissing off most normies flocking to the data center resistance. this kind of thing is really activating
Matthew Gault@mjgault.bsky.social · 2w agothe city that arrested the person for clapping during a data center meeting has decided to take its town halls virtual and eliminate public comments all together
Thank you Tas Lagoo, Long-Range Planning Manager with the Town of Chapel Hill Planning Department for presenting the draft of the Town’s new LUMO to the Orange County Affordable Housing Coalition monthly meeting.

Watching la Tour de France Femmes, and noticed the ASO printed number 13 upside down, since many bike racers invert the number when pinning it on and Célia Gery put it on around anyway ! 🤣
He’s got maybe 10 more years if he’s lucky. He’s got health care for life. He’s got plenty of money. If this wasn’t a time to finally think about doing what’s right there never will be for this lot
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
This is one of the issues I have raised about data centres when I spoke to the Orange County Board of Commissioners. An element that immediately affects the health of neighbors and neighboring communities is the sound and air pollution from generating electricity like we’re still in the 1950’s
Sue Sturgis@suesturgis.bsky.social · 3w agoDuke Energy has applied to the state to operate 57 diesel generators that would temporarily power the data center until a transmission line is built. They could emit several hundred tons of pollutants and 70,000 tons of greenhouse gases in a year.
He serves in the branch that the Constitution specifically charges with the duty of removing the President for criming.

I’m keeping my 2013 Honda Fit until the wheels fall off. Actually, if the wheels ever did fall off, I’d go to a junkyard and get four more before spending 6 figures on something like this…

Yikes, this story by @drewharwell.com, @douglasmac.bsky.social, and @aaronschaffer.com about police officers using Flock's license-plate readers to stalk women.
How rogue officers turned a nationwide camera network into a tool for stalking
Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

According to anti-cyclist replies, here's evidence that cars and bikes are equally dangerous: 🚗: They kill ~40000 people in the US annually 🚲: I saw a cyclist run a red light 30 years ago
