100mph over?! And only get a ticket?

So my credit card company just asked me to review my personal information. And I am surprised to see two new questions inquiring about my US citizenship status and residency status. Why does it need this info? @replsimon.bsky.social, thoughts?

#openstreets 980! Let's do this, @caltransD4 @caltrans. Nothing like imagining a space while standing in and rolling through car free roadways.

What can go wrong?

So happy to see published studies of Baltimore. The holistic, sustained, and multi-year nature of the programs is a breath of fresh air. Not surprising that "the five longest-running Safe Streets sites seeing, on average, 32% lower homicide rates in the first four years."

I remember the first months of COVID work from home, roadway sounds almost fully disappeared. Less Driving = Quieter City.

Went for the jugular with the addition of "puffy jackets."

Group rides launch from 6 locations throughout Oakland at different times, ending at Frank Ogawa Plaza at city hall May 15, 2025.

Happy Hour street party in Washington St from 4 to 7pm

Once a year, I have the privilege of organizing Bike To Wherever Day festivities in Oakland. Most of our local elected officials put on their chain grease and bike with Oakland. It's awesome. Tomorrow's the day. Won't you join us? #HellaBikeOakland

I believe the A records need to point to the host.

These are the federal employees D*$E is NOT firing? Got it. Prayer emoji.

Sign up to comment on supporting the sale of Measure U bonds to find safety infrastructure, paving, and affordable housing. @prinzrob.bsky.social dropped the details of what's at stake.

Two months and 13 days into 2025, residents of the US will have demanded more resources than the US biocapacity can provide in 12 months. A la Global Footprint Network.

A Safer, Better Grand Avenue at Lake Merritt PETITION FOR A SAFER, BETTER GRAND AVENUE AT THE LAKE! To the Oakland City Administration, City Council and Mayor: Every year Oaklanders are injured along Grand Avenue by Lake Merritt from dozens of...

I'm so sorry. I've been screaming about how dangerous Grand Ave is. Two things: 1) Ask the City of Oakland why the voters approved measure U bond funds for paving to improve street safety are being delayed. 2) Sign this petition actionnetwork.org/petitions/a-...

It should have always been an on street rail that served the neighborhoods.

Baaarf x 2.

I'm sick to my stomach thinking about the time when I mobilized writing letters and helping with doorknocking in the Central Valley along with blue hair liberals from the Bay Area only to have Josh f-ng Harder vote "Yes" on Laken Riley Act today. No more playing defense for Democrats.

The houses felt threatened, so they asked to have a calmer road fully separated from the main road.

Not just surprising, but flippant disregard for everything the city has learned about effectively implementing safety transportation projects.

I think either. I enjoyed The House in the Cerulean Sea.

Sunday is 12/8/2024. So the online comment deadline is 12/8 9:30am.

You can comment online by 9:30am Pacific tomorrow (12/7) to demand that Oakland Measure U bonds be sold to fund continued street safety projects!

And even slower when the sun is in your eyes!

Oakland and Alameda still run a test siren every first Wednesday of the month, requiring much explaining and reassurance to newbies. But the sirens were eerily silent on Thursday morning during the Tsunami Warning phase. Is that how it's supposed to work?

At some point, we have to question the motives for delaying the September bond sale.

Let the children boogie!

If someone can create a feed for #didyoufeelthat quake, #whatwasthatnoise, #hoveringhelicopters, and #weather and #climatedisaster alerts specifically for the SF Bay with bonus points for the East Bay, that would fulfill 50% of my social media needs, seriously.

Time to add Winkelerf to my vocabulary.
