there should be more bikes and more dogs and less cars

treat your body like a data center. consume as much water, art and literature as possible. upset local municipalities with your existence.

hahaha @elliesaur.bsky.social wasn’t kidding when she told me not to shift under heavy load, i seem to have trashed the top ~3 years on my cassette 😂 relatively cheap lesson to learn, but we’re both impressed at how quickly it happened!

How do over-serving laws actually get enforced in practice? Because like, bars definitely serve people I would consider visibly intoxicated.

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane

Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

these are words trans women would use to insult each other

I imagine sex workers commuting with each other like: “Hi ho!” “Hi ho!” “It’s off to work we go”

Imagine it’s 1996 and a time traveler from 2026 tells you that 30 years later car alarms would still be going off accidentally near your house all the time.

Urbanist Philomena Cunk. In America, they invented a clever system called sprawl. It’s a brilliant idea where they put the place you sleep exactly twenty-five miles away from the place they keep the bread.

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

My mom (RIP, I'm on my way home from the memorial service) had had this on her fridge for years.

I'm telling you if you're not married by like 20, it's over for you. Women are building their own boyfriends with Claude right now. You're not even gonna get an entry-level boyfriend job. It's tough out here even for principal boyfriends.

i spend half of my day really fucking excited for the things i will see in my lifetime and the other half really fucking horrified about the things i will see in my lifetime

AI bro: yeah the system speaks Chinese Philosopher: nuh uh Institutional review board: Sorry you did *what* to John?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

VC, founder, dumbass

HALT factors are checkboxes on the road to success, right? right????

chat is it good that everyone is crashing out at the same time for one reason or another

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.

Without the online friends I’ve made over the years, some of whom have become offline friends (even recently!), I would be a much, much lonelier person. Social media feels evil sometimes, but it makes some miracles too.

I don't believe that every trans person in America should immediately be made aware of every single evil bill introduced by some podunk state rep in a random red state they don't live in I don't think that's healthy. I have always needed to see a likelihood of advancement before I would write it up
