Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

Removing all the buildings would do wonders for emergency response times.

"Public meetings frequently attract only a narrow group of participants—typically residents who have the time, resources, and political motivation to attend—rather than reflecting the full community affected by transportation projects."

The US Spends More Time and Money Building Transit Than Most Countries. Inefficient Community Engagement May Help Explain Why. Public participation remains essential, and policymakers can take steps to ensure engagement processes reflect the entire community’s needs without increasin…

Transit construction costs in the US keep rising, and projects keep taking longer and longer to build.

Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims Justice Kagan allegedly yelled at Justice Breyer so loudly the "wall was shaking" during the 2022 Dobbs leak crisis, a new book by Hemingway says.

Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.

Adam Liptak, very proud of this scoop, has spent last few months lavishing praise on Roberts for (after delaying a year) not letting Trump unilaterally impose obviously unconstitutional massive tax increase on working families. His daily “analysis” is a lie that mitigates any value to his reporting.

I know it's a big ask these days but would journalists possibly be able to do their job and tell us what is going on instead of just typing out posts by the 🍊? I mean we could simply read those directly if inclined.

Don’t Punish E-Bikes for the E-Moto Problem - AB 1557 and AB 1942 - CalBike Electric bicycles are already clearly defined under state and federal law. But increasingly, high-powered “e-motos” — often exceeding 750 watts and capable of motorcycle-level speeds are being markete...

We encourage the Legislature to focus on regulating, educating, and enforcing laws against deceptive advertising and illegal use of e-motos on our streets, rather than overregulating safe, legal e-bikes. www.calbike.org/ab1557ab1942/

don’t allow them to regulate ebikes away. the new proposed laws that would require licenses and change the classes will destroy ebike usability
