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

What would actually put Portland on the map is negotiating public ownership shares in exchange for any public funds used. why would we subsidize billionaires when the city has budget issues? @mayorkwilson.bsky.social

I shit you not: this GIF from SpongeBob upset Brian Owendoff so much he wrote to the president of my neighborhood association and is threatening to get lawyers involved.

I’m crafting a response right now. Any fun ideas of what to include in my reply would be appreciated.

Some small pieces of something like this can be found in the Colombia Slough, but as usual, the presence of cars nearby compromises the safety and peace of the experience.

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

Portland's mayor actually said we'd be a "flyover city" if we don't use taxpayer money to renovate the Moda Center. Pretty gross!

The Mayor's proposed budget will be released today by 5PM and if you have any comments on it you should sign up to testify an hour before it's released to the public www.portland.gov/budget/2026-...

HIGH SPEED RAIL FROM COAST TO COAST BABYYYYYY

🗣️ It's Budget Season, Portland! The Mayor's proposed budget has officially dropped and tomorrow starting at the 9:30am Portland City Council meeting is your first opportunity to weigh in! Sign up for public testimony and stay tuned for more opportunities to be involved in the budget process!

I think Mt Tabor would be a good spot

They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years

It's the wrong question to ask

And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Welcoming the Stranger How do religious communities move beyond charity toward relationship-centered welcome? This piece explores addressing migration with justice and humility.

The Quaker community in Monteverde, Costa Rica, is in the news today—but our readers have known about the hospitality they've shown to families who've been deported from the United States since February, when we shared this report from Lynnette Arnold.

Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.

Lots of potential bridges to build @depave.bsky.social @seachanger.bsky.social

One of the main reasons I ❤️ Utrecht is that I feel safe biking anywhere in the city AND the government works hard every year to make getting around by bike even better.

It's a sharp contrast to biking in America (and, frankly, most places in the world). It's time to change the world.

Cars can be replaced. Completely. Easier to imagine complete replacement in cities, but this could be the case everywhere. We do not need ANY cars.

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

There’s no way for-profit incarceration ends well for society.

Hold your head high

Wide angle view of aircraft prototypes in the Smithsonian Institution Air & Space Museum entry hall

I'm BEGGING for a conversation with any folks who can think of how we get the Smithsonian to open a national transport museum with cool trains, buses, and shit to actually teach and inspire the next generation of transit engineers and planners 😫

A Lot Of Americans Aren't Sold On This Whole Car-Centric Life Thing After All - Jalopnik We live in a society designed for and built around the automobile, and many people don't seem very happy about it.

End anti-freedom, anti-choice, deadly, costly, big government car ownership and driving mandates.

NOW.

"More than half of Americans are at least willing to consider giving up their cars entirely."

More diverters, please! Cars can drive on like 98%+ of streets. If we could get that down even a few percentage points it would make an enormous difference for literally every other mode of transportation.

Wonderful bits in here also about the respect paid by Hansen to the Indigenous elders of the Anishinaabe, Cree, and Haudenosaunee. He put in effort to learn about some of the traditions relating to the moon before making the voyage.

Astronauts carry all of us with them to space. Truly ALL of us.
