I was really hoping the city would have the grace to do this without the presence of all the weaponry and threat of high powered violence.

Bikes, drawing, political take lurking
These people are exhausting.
Darren Buck@bikepedantic.bsky.social · 2w agoUSDOT pulls down more bike lane web info, saying "This is a common sense approach despite the Left's belief that everyone should ride a bike to their shoebox-sized apartment to eat crickets to achieve a phony climate agenda." If you hate bike lanes, you ride with Trump. www.npr.org/2026/07/23/n...
Man this one took a lot of thought. I got a bit impatient but think it worked out mostly. #oliveartclub

Husband just came in to tell me that since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln every American president has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover.
Gonna go jump in a river while the air quality is still okay this morning!
Thinking back to my time in the BWCA on Crooked lake during Spring of 2024 just about a mile just about a mile east of where the 700 acre beartrap fire is currently raging. Sure was soggy then, here's hoping it can be contained.
Gotta love some direct consumer feedback. It would have worked fine if the designers had made the mountains about a foot taller, but aesthetics came first I guess!
Got to ride a downhill bike for the first time this weekend. Pretty liberating to ride knowing there was absolutely no way I could get outside the capability of the bike and proud of my hard earned hardtail fundamentals being able to transfer over.
These things are too cool looking on the vine to not include! Staedler .3 and .05 liners (thanks for sharing your tools everyone!) #oliveartclub
Black cap season is the real cause of celebration in early July.
Felt like a good one for the little notepad. Played with matching my photo of the drawing with the original. Best part of Monday morning! #oliveartclub

It does occur to me that one possible (unintentional) benefit of the NYT framing this as new is now that EVERYONE has a giant vehicle, people will feel less individually guilty or need to justify it. Maybe now we can show how the entire auto and petroleum and highest industry pushed us to this.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last mo."After analyzing federal and industry records, including never-before-examined data on vehicle dimensions, we found that the rise of large pickups and S.U.V.s is an important factor." i'm sorry but how the fuck is this correlation just coming to light now?

It's likely, as economic conditions worsen, that the fascists will portray this as a "knife in the back" betrayal by Trump because of Jewish control, which is already taking form if you pay attention. It might seem strange, but MAGA will likely give birth to a post-MAGA / anti-MAGA fascist movement.

Loved the expanded "big sci-fi" feel of the setting in @marthawells.com 's newest Murderbot diary. Curious if the ravaged torus planet was meant to be old Earth!!
I know this is a transportation choice I made, but this is a pretty funny first view of famously bike friendly Portland, OR
Nothing like a 30 degree morning after a week of 70s to clear out the bike path in the morning.
My tried and true solution to scratching the itch to buy a new bike is to just switch up the handle bar set up. Turns out, the bike you have is probably just fine!
Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.
After voting for a bunch of local non contested circuit court positions this morning, does anyone have any interesting data on how uncontested elections affect voter turnout in later races? If I'd never voted before and received a ballot for a bunch of non choices I'd probably feel pretty dumb.
I find myself quite exhausted by the laws/arguments around passing various slower road users. If you claim single file riding makes it easier to pass a group, you either have a small car or are not passing safely.
This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
There was a horrific vehicular murder in the Madison, WI area in the early morning today. On his way to crash into some cop cars, a pick up truck driver drove off the road and onto a separated bike path to intentionally murder a person riding their bike.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 7mo agoWall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business
A story I found about Haiti: In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
