I am once again asking why EVs are still being taxed when the the entire justification was that they didn’t pay gas tax. www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

Just gave away 2 fixed up older bikes to folks in my community who needed them to get around. One was for a 19-year old who doesn't own a car and needs it for work, and the other was for an older gentleman who can't drive a car. That's 37 bikes now that this little org has fixed up and given away.
Trans cyclists deserve the right to st in the main group 30 seconds behind the break while ignoring their responsibilities just like the rest of us.
I invite all of the people who are suddenly massive Sophie Cunningham fans to name two (2) other Fever players.
Really disappointed in the liberals who see Christianity inserting itself into every public space (the military, parks department, schools, etc.) and go “shrug”
People keep repeating this exact phrase, but it's completely wrong. Every single day there's a story of a car driving over the curb, on to the sidewalk and crashing into a building. With much deadlier consequences than a bike annoying you on the sidewalk.

The easiest possible layup for a President at war with another country would be to explain that they are attacking us. Trump won't do that because he views Minnesota as a bigger enemy than Iran.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Is hiding over a trillion in debt good? Hard to say.

I wonder if republicans would feel differently about the electoral college if they had lost the presidency but won the popular vote two times since 2000.
People get hella mad when you suggest adult drivers should be more responsible than children walking/biking
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Housing folks - someone in my city plan commission was talking about “Vinyl Villages” today as a derogatory term, about how we don’t want them. I’ve never heard this before. Is this a thing?
I was just talking on Friday with a friend whos a bit older (early 50s) that his first job was pumping gas. A coworker who also pumped gas was able to afford a house, car, and his wife stayed home with their kid. All on that job.
Fight For A Union@fightforaunion.bsky.social · last wk.Inflation isn't the only problem. Half of working Americans earn under $25 an hour. When $25 is the actual floor for a basic living wage and half of us can't hit it, stop telling people to budget harder. You can't budget yourself out of a broken system.
Imagine the outrage if a democratic president suggested ending the filibuster to pass their pet legislation

The Rob Hatch call from Van der Poel's win is incredible. I love the little callback to his commentary from Amstel Gold Race. Even if you're not a cycling fan it's worth watching for the sheer passion.

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 5mo agoThe US has no industrial capacity to produce the munitions needed to fight a large scale conflict in Iran. If this spirals into a protracted conflict, the US will not be able to sustain a bombing campaign. It must put troops on the ground. They have no plan for this.
