Time to put it on the official record: Bus lanes are for buses. https://seeclickfix.com/issues/14075435
Driver rolled his car and crashed into the living room of a condo, like 50'+ from the road, nearly killing three kids in Worcester MA.

Please attend Stephen Conley's ghost bike ceremony on March 2nd at 6pm. There will be a ceremony to remember his life and to dedicate a ghost bike memorial in his name. Location is being finalized, will be shared soon.
A life long resident of Somerville, Stephen Conley's life touched many people. We will gather to share our grief as a community and rededicate ourselves to the work of preventing the next fatal crash on our streets.

Parks and Rec had very cast-focused storylines, and never had a huge procession of guest stars and cameos (except for the DC episodes).
But 30 Rock absolutely soared with guest stars and cameos. How they never plugged Amy Poehler in somewhere… seems like a big missed opportunity.
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are touring together, after appearing in multiple movies, SNL Weekend Update, and the Golden Globes together…
…but neither ever appeared on the other’s TV series, each of which ran seven seasons. Weird. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/tina-fey-amy-poehler-restless-leg-tour-announcement-1234678227/
Anyway, i expect that the collusion will collapse the minute someone decides to drink everyone else's milkshake and ramp up production on a people's car. As someone who has actually said the unthinkable-pre-2020 words, "I really like the new Hyundai hatchback, but i can't afford it," i hope it's them.
But even more than that, i hope that maybe we get better carsharing in cities in the short term?

Join us for a webinar at noon on 2/22 that discusses what we know about how people are moving in, around, and through the District of Columbia – and how that has changed from 2019 to 2022.
Last summer, we commissioned Nelson\Nygaard to analyze StreetLight Insight data to better understand patterns of travel as the District emerged from COVID-19 lockdowns.
We're excited to share the findings with the public for the first time!

If new-car ownership becomes something only for the rich, and only because automakers collude and constrain production, that would suck.
But also, maybe we'd finally get serious about sustainable modes? [Nah, we'd just give out more subsidies.]

A flashy sports betting app, but all it does is sell safe, secure US Treasury bonds
dammit i typed up a long description of that image, and icecubes just ate it i guess. so:
A bicyclist riding a longtail cargobike with two small kids on board is riding in a flexpost-protected bike lane, seen from rear quarter. Snow is visible around, but has been cleared from the bikelane. There's a bus lane behind, and street trees in the foreground
It’s never a bad day to ask if your streets are helping to advance your stated goals.
oh thank gosh my server is back up. I resorted to posting on twitter.
Anyway, keep making your fully-leaded relatives uncomfortable at family gatherings, fellow whites. I choose to believe someone did that to the hobby lobby folks, and this is the ridiculous response.
“But he’s agnostic!" the remnants of the media would scream
Gonna spend my billion$ on a ‘Jesus would be angry too’ campaign
i am sportsball happy
terrible play call, bailed out by a chintzy foul, i'm happy
