Cameron Station residents holding ’emergency town hall’ in response to S. Pickett Street plans. The “emergency” is that the city wants to put in protected bike lanes. Heavens. I might get the vapors. alxnow.com/2024/07/31/cam…

@Dualchgwp @chyeaok If you can't see the basis for not allowing basic human rights subject to the superstitions of religious fundamentalists then yes there is no serious discussion to be had.

@eRileyCasey @chyeaok impossible to have discussions with unserious people

Pete Buttigieg on Fox is like watching a snake charmer. He just does not let them guide the conversation at all.

@Dualchgwp @chyeaok Slave states and free states , ah the good old days right?

@chyeaok he's so upset that states get to make their own laws... remember that!

@kairyssdal Conservative always starts with Con

Just normal tax exempt social welfare activity here @NRA amirite? snopes.com/fact-check/nra…

@1892_marc @CyclingForMind Difficult to grasp from behind the wheel of a car I grant you but biking anywhere be it the store, to work or to visit the grandkids is something that is far more entertaining than a podcast. I listen to those at home. I live in the world around me on my bike - even amidst cars.

What a miserable way of commuting driving is. Imagine going through this everyday when there is a faster and more efficient way of travel available. If only Galway city council had the will to build safe active travel infrastructure instead making the lives of drivers a misery.

@joncoopertweets Party of personal responsibility

Dozens of MAGA cultists found themselves stranded following the Trump rally in Charlotte, NC after their cars were towed from a nearby Dunkin’ Donuts. Drivers were told they couldn’t park there and they ignored signs stating no parking for non-customers.🤣

@SRtwofourfour So reassuring that we'll have to share a country with these fine folks on 6 November. 🙄

My partner said the MAGAts were gonna go after Harris with horrible stuff & I said “well they do that to everyone - it’ll be on par for what they usually do” and guess what - you’ve outdone yourself GQP’ers my partner was right you have gone lower than low - no bottom in sight.

@SRtwofourfour Cars didn't used to do this so casually. Rolling over was something you did when you missed a turn at 60 mph. SMDH

Carbrain waits for no one! It has *a right* to pull out!

@nduley Now a compass OTOH

On a road trip, do you like to have a physical map to refer to? 🚗 🗺

@JDVance1 Once again Twitter wants for a LOL button

Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way. Over the last four years she co-signed Biden's open border and green scam policies that drove up the cost of housing and groceries. She owns all of these failures, and she lied for nearly four years about Biden's mental capacity--saddling the nation with a president who can't do the job. President Trump and I are ready to save America, whoever's at the top of the Democrat ticket. Bring it on.

@matthewstoller I've been voting for US presidents since 1972. I've written people in, voted for people I didn't like & railed against many winners. I voted for Harris in 2020, as VP that's how it works. I'm all ears for other options if you have more than snark on the table but til then ...

@costareports Once again Twitter wants for a LOL button

News: some Democratic donors and officials are reaching out to Sen. Joe Manchin to consider standing for the presidential nomination, per two people familiar with the discussions

I've already voted once for Harris. That was part of the deal in voting in Biden but then I've been voting in US elections since 1972 so I get it. I'd like your help in ensuring my kids & grandkids don't live under a Trump world. Vote & encourage, even hector everyone you know to

For the 'cyclists should pay to use the road' types I'm happy to pay if it is proportionate to the damage I do It would take a road bike 3,044 years of doing the same journey every day to damage the road as much as 1 journey in an SUV roaddamagecalculator.com H/T @CS3Count

If you haven't watched the Richard Loncraine film production of Richard III this would be a good time to stream the movie. The bard once again informs our current world. Ian McKellan of course is fantastic. imdb.com/title/tt011427…

@bikeshopgirlcom How much of this is bike bro Mamil focus vs just the cold hard economics of running a LBS?

One notable facet of Hidalgo’s push to pedestrianize Parisian streets is how unremarkable the spaces are. No huge capital project, redesign, mural, or fanfare. Just a metal swing gate with some No signs and an icon of kids, and you 👏 are 👏 good.

@AmericanFietser Would that the rest of bike twitter would do the same. I had hoped that seeing @TheWarOnCars decamp would do the trick but alas most of the bike specific posting happens here still.

@chrissteinplays Mac users just itching to snark over all this but hesitating least Apple pull the same stunt next week
