Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday today.

Khanna: "I appreciate that he's trying to get a deal with Iran. I don't like the fact that the biggest AI center, research center, is going to be in Dubai. I mean, what happened to America first? Why don't we put that center in Pennsylvania or in Ohio?"

when you think about it, the sheer amount of misinformation, defunding, stigma, and general bullshit people throw at bikes is a pretty good testament to what a powerful tool they are to change the world, and how deeply they could threaten our most toxic power structures if we let them.

“A review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car. The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”

The U.S. needs more of this: density, mixed use (residential and businesses in close proximity), bike/ped/transit infrastructure. It was a bad idea to do sprawl & forced car dependency almost everywhere in the U.S. Let’s fix that!

Today I choose happiness.

On Thursday, a driver struck a teen at Cicero/Wrightwood, seriously injuring him. Years ago, advocates proposed making the intersection safer, but only paint was added. Here's a proposal for adding raised bike lanes and more on Cicero. chi.streetsblog.org/2025/05/16/a... @archijake.bsky.social

Uni, what are you thinking about…?

The DOJ is all in a kerfuffle over James Comey posting (in seashells), 8647. Made me think of the Book of Proverbs: "The wicked flee when none pursueth."

I’m not Christian, so I don’t have a dog in this fight. But can you imagine how different the world would be if most Christians lived by this example?

If you have a family that loves you, a few good friends, food on you table, and a roof over your head, you are richer than you think 🤔 🙏

To be successful, you don’t need, beautiful face and heroic body, what you need is skillful mind and ability to perform. When I become successful I will spoil that one person who always believed in me🙏🫶❤️💪

“We ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," Springsteen said. I hope it inspires other artists to use their voices in this urgent time. www.americaamerica.news/p/must-artis...

Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts." (Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

We ended transportation week by crashing a ship into the Brooklyn bridge.
