A meme that says:

@dreams_of_sloth
the first thing our new hire did was fix a bug that's been bugging him forever as a user prior to joining.
he then breathed a sigh of relief and submitted his two weeks' notice. wtf??

if you vote for me for mayor, I’ll fix the Bob Stacey Overcrossing elevators forever, permanently

But that’s it. Single platform. Then I’m out. Don’t ask my stance on anything else.

My review of Conjuring: Last Rites that reads:

"Remember what happened, the last time you slapped me with cheese?
I was down on my knees. Mmmm!"

The irony of the cop being parked in the bike lane causing two cyclists to take the lane in front of another car barely a minute into the footage

I believe the video highlights a pervasive cultural bias that favors drivers and is skeptical of bicycle riders, and it shows how that bias plays out in some police-cyclist interactions.

"My suggestion would be to use the bike lane... you easily could have moved over and prevented that hostile situation... you guys are both ignorant, you guys both instigated each other." - PPB Officer Kyle Williams to a @bikeleague.org certified cycling instructor

Learning from bodycam footage of police response to road rage collision

One example of the pervasive cultural bias that favors drivers and is skeptical of bicycle riders.

Biking on a greenway. Driver rolls a stop sign and almost hits me. Gets angry and starts following me. Honks at me and yells at me as I arrive at my destination. 😘🤌

This is going to a beautiful location once they demolish I-5 next year. Can’t wait to bike by it on the waterfront
