  • "This is so dangerous!", laments the woman driving directly into a Critical Mass bike ride

  • I figured that was happening, which is why I updated the title to explicitly state it's a Critical Mass event

  • Four NYPD officers converged on one woman on a bike because she smiled at them, then detained her because she wasn't carrying ID.

  • I'm with you on immediate abolition of police and dismantling the carceral system, but "figure something else out" sounds very hand-wave-y. Community initiatives, economic reform, and vastly improved and accessible mental health resources will go a long way towards drastically reducing crime, maybe even eliminating many forms of it, but there does need to be some form of framework for investigation and redressal of the rare crimes that do occur

  • ...the post is intended to portray the difference in trains -- the logical, excellent, and much preferable alternative to cars. They're excellent everywhere else but absolute shite in the supposed pinnacle of the free market.

  • In an anti car community. Considering the US proudly proclaims itself the champion of the free market, yeah, it's only fitting to use Amtrak as the example.

  • China does have a superb high-speed rail network, you gotta give them that

  • Should I stop using Telegram?

  • Switch to Signal. It's not like there's anything to learn, the UI isn't all that different from WhatsApp

    A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.

  • It is, but the monsoon's about to roll in so it's a little better at the minute. Humid as fuck though

  • *Cars don't create congestion"

  • The problem there is enforcing said smaller space. Painted bike lanes do absolutely nothing to ensure people get used to having the smaller space because drivers still have all that space. A painted line doesn't stop them from swerving into the bike lane whenever they please.

    At the very least you put flexi-posts on there to enforce it if you can't build a full curb to protect the bike lane. That tends to discourage drivers if not stop them entirely
