Huge day for @ridemcts.bsky.social. Tap to pay with a credit card is live.

No more remembering that the app for payment is inexplicably called Umo, lining up the QR code and hoping it would scan or needing to get a special card.

Just tap your credit card (or Apple Watch) and ride.

Comedy for a cause: Raegan Niemela discusses this week’s Cowboy Killers “ICE Out Now!” benefit show “I thought we should make it big if we could get it big, bring in bands, and bring creatives together to put feelings of grief towards something positive.”

‘Citizen Reporting’ Bill Moves Forward, But Without the Bounty - Streetsblog New York City A long-stalled bill that would allow people to report drivers who block bike or bus lanes is about to move forward in the City Council, but without its central feature: people who make complaints will...

A few years ago they were gonna extend the program that let you bounty hunt cars parking in the bike lane and that nerd Lincoln Restler neutered it and its time to make this happen. I’ll become an angel of death for crossovers. nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/03/03/b...

The World Baseball Classic, Team USA, and the war problem On conduct unbecoming.

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

Mayor Bowser hid this report from you for more than four years, but now it's out in the world. Why? We fought to make it public — and we won.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Air Wisconsin Turns to ICE

I started making this R package 6 years ago. I finally have it in a state I'm happy with, thanks to Claude Code #Rstats github.com/MattCowgill/...

It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site.

Mother's immigration arrest leaves Madison soccer standout reeling Federal immigration agents detained a Madison soccer player's mother while she was in Minnesota for her son's games. Now, he's struggling.

Martin, an 18-year-old citizen and soccer player, traveled with his Madison-area team to Minneapolis for a Futsal tournament (which my kid's team was going to play in, then opted out). While there, ICE stopped Martin and took his mom, who has been detained since.
