Living out-of-market from my MLB team is the greatest thing ever

I redownloaded Minecraft 😩 It's feels so fresh I can't wait to get into the new stuff!

I just watched the first 25, minutes of The Virgin Suicide, turned it off to take a nap, and then proceeded to spend the entire time dreaming about how the movie continues. I guess I’m just like those boys.

Started learning Python yesterday!

Just dropped my laptop and my soul leapt out of my chest. Just got got a small scratch 😢

It really does drive home the point of The Substance that Demi Moore got passed up on the Oscar in favor of a younger actress playing a more typical Hollywood role

This is not my first rodeo

Dynamic pricing sucks like i hesitated for 2 seconds on deciding my Lyft ride and the price doubled 🙄🙄

I love cycling but I'm aware that it could result in my violent death or getting seriously injured. Not because cycling is dangerous but because we prioritise the convenience of car drivers over the safety of everyone else. I wish it wasn't like this.

I wish more places had transit agencies like Caltrain

I would love to see some numbers on this, but I imagine that with congestion pricing, places like Downtown Brooklyn and Uptown/Harlem are also seeing less traffic from people trying to get to lower Manhattan. It would be another awesome third degree effect to add to the list!

Foaming at the idea of my state tolling the interstate spur that runs into the downtown of my city and using that money to fund bike, ped, and transit projects. It would never happen but a boy can dream, right?

If you have to put bollards around your street furniture you have abjectly failed at creating a shared street.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I genuinely believe that deprioritizing cars and building more housing can help solve *so many* issues in today's society

I can't wait to go on a bike ride later today

Small wins like this add up! Let transit agencies do their thing!

Let me tell you living in a state with a bloated department of transportation really sucks when it comes to pushing for walkable and bikeable urban transportation

Solid Rear Rack = Cargo Bike 📦

There are definitely more pressing things going on regarding NYC’s transit right now, but Penn Station Access is something I am super excited for in the coming years

Any American city with decent public transportation should implement a congestion toll that funds its mass transit. It is clearly working in New York, and I can do so much for cities like Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc.

All they will find is a criminally underfunded project that has managed to make significant progress against all odds time and time again

This iteration of USDOT is on a course to kill every positive infrastructure project this country has. First congestion pricing, now California high-speed rail. I really hope these states are are ready to fight a nasty fight.

Congestion pricing being stopped is the most I have cared about politics since, well since congestion pricing started

In today’s episode of will the MTA ever catch a break: no, no they will not
