YES THIS SAFETY FOR EVERYONE
A cyclist on a sidewalk is usually a symptom of bad infrastructure.
As I often say, cyclist vs. pedestrian conflicts arise because both are fighting over the scraps of space not occupied by cars. But what if we took that space from cars to make biking, walking, and rolling safer?

my hot take as a full-time pedestrian and transit rider is that i want cities to do the absolute maximum amount to provide cyclists with safe and protected bike lanes everywhere so that i don't have to feel the least bit bad for kicking one off the sidewalk into the street

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Trump relentlessly runs his messaging through a strong-versus-weak frame, yet many voters expressly do not see the tariffs as an act of strength.
Instead, they view him as being “reckless”—he’s floundering around wildly, aimlessly, and destructively. trib.al/OaK874K

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

I love my reusable travel mugs for water or whatever I want to drink.
Introducing a thought I have: Plastic Water Bottles.
A “Plastic Water Bottle” is what I call any problem that we see as super evil despite the fact that there is an extremely similar bigger problem (plastic soda bottles) that we never think about only because we’re simply more used to it.

It’s most likely bots designed to sow discord, as this is a proven technique for Russia, China, and other nation states in cyber warfare. Likely they use generative AI to make their contrarian responses more believable, and have given a prompt to be subtle to blend with the platform’s user base.
