Car-blindness is real! Psychologists or sociologists should study this. Giant two-ton boxes flying all around us, piloted by people who have been rendered psychopaths, regularly injuring & killing our neighbors, and many/most people just ... don't register it. It's just background noise.

I was talking to my neighbor when a group of cyclists came by at maybe 25 mph. “That’s so dangerous,” she exclaimed. In the meantime, quite a few drivers came by at 40 mph, and she’s completely unfazed. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bottle service!

In a proposal that should surprise no one, the Royals want to rip out bike lanes and fuck up pedestrian crossings to make sure the fans in cars aren't inconvenienced compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod...

Feral porch cat did not hear my approach. I sought consent; it was not given.

Jim Glover razed a neighborhood to TIF a couple of big box stores. What prevents us from using eminent domain again to put the housing back where it belongs?

We should have replaced existing housing stock with the costco like this in the first place. We took out so much housing to put this suburban big box store smack dab in the middle of our urban fabric.

Almost like they didn't really want to hear the feedback. Room at capacity, door locked, overflow downstairs waiting for the encore session we're being promised

Costco has proposed to convert its midtown location at 241 E. Linwood Blvd. into a business center. Some customers and neighbors have not been happy about it.

Do a big Dad Thing with me: we're buying our own bike lane sweeper to clean the paths the city can't (or won't) bikewalkkc.org/sweeper/ I can't wait to pull this thing around the neighborhood!

Fundraiser to Buy a Bike Lane Sweeper

The Velo Garage All Bike Club and BikeWalkKC are raising funds to purchase a Bike Lane Sweeper that can be pulled by bike! When local governments can't (or won't) clean bike lanes and trails, the Bike...

It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:

"Who is Prince Andrew?"

Seven years ago today I tried an ebike on a lunch hour. Yesterday I "raced" 128 miles on dirt. What's next?

I wanted to call out from my porch to a friend pedalling by, but the oncoming driver meant distraction could be deadly. I let him go in silence. Cars really do ruin everything.

NASA #Artemis II flyby coverage schedule; all times in Eastern. You can follow along live on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) or on the NASA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@NASA). It should be amazing to watch!

Good chance the muscle car parked outside my house was stolen and dumped. I could report it, but since it's not the kind of vehicle that should be driven within earshot of society, I'ma let this fucker sit in timeout.

You heard: space toilet broken. I heard: successful test of the Collapsible Contingency Urinal ttu-ir.tdl.org/server/api/c...

at least it's just an amber fault light and not a brown one... yet

I will never ever understand the people who race-walk through the terminal only to freeze like a statue when they touch an escalator. Where did your hustle go, friend? They're speedy stairs, not a teleporter

Any group rides in Chicago this week or is it too cold? #bikechi

wx sirens in midtown now for... what?

Starting the new Star Trek game with my Voyager super-fan kids: "haha fuck yeah! yes!!" Me not getting to play today because they have homework and piano lessons: "well this fucking sucks. what the fuck."

Flexpost cosplaying as bollard. Safety is an illusion.

Fuck you, MODOT.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

Plane makes safe emergency landing in Colorado without a pilot's help, in first "Autoland" use

On Saturday, a plane landed at Colorado's Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport without a pilot's help.

Tired: flat streets Wired: Speed humps, tables, etc Inspired: Speed *dips*, because modern clearance and suspension makes taking speed bumps at speed no big deal, but dips still make drivers worry they'll damage their car, and that has the highest level of encouraging compliance

Somebody is one pipe shy of a hookah

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

Might rewatch Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) tonight. No particular reason.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
