🎶 How he claim he for the people? He ain't one of us Left the state broke, still they run it up Jarvis said he saved the homes, but he cut us up Schools underfunded, man, that ain't love 🎶 /1

I see a lot of "get rid of your Tesla" posts. But the other auto manufacturers aren't any better. You want to make a statement? Stop driving. Drive less, if you must drive. Help others drive less by supporting safer street design. Fascists aren't making money on bike lanes.

Truly

Literally not a single rich family is prevented from living somewhere by municipal land use controls. Not a single mansion is prevented by zoning. It only prevents housing for poorer people. Let’s all stop pretending it’s “neoliberal” or whatever to get rid of this inequitable, exclusionary power

I love it when I’m talking to a new acquaintance and we stumble upon something they are passionate about. Their face lights up and they start talking a mile a minute and it’s so fun to see

I remember when something very very similar happened in Berkeley and the guy was re-elected Twice

The thing that astonishes me most here is that a driver in New Jersey got pulled over for running a Stop sign... www.nj.com/gloucester-c...

Every once in a while I feel blue about the state of the world, but lately there’s a thought that snaps me out of it: @coachbalto.bsky.social got Justin Timberlake to join his bike bus. That is so freaking cool

Please enjoy this photo of me from 20 years ago

"I do not want a 3-story stucco building next door" - actual utterance of the owner of this building.

North Berkeley Now’s Second Sunday meetup is now! Come to Headlands Berkeley (formerly Westbrae Biergarten) now until 2pm

Final result-- NO CENSURE. All board members to get training, and additional executive coaching to be required of Syed and made available to all. Seems like Executive Coaching is a good thing for all board members to take anyway #ACTransit

If you’re 50+ years old and ride a bike, take this survey! If you’re not, share it with people you know. survey.alchemer.com/s3/7706636/5...

i know it’s preaching to the choir here on bluesky, but please, if you haven’t already retired and buried your twitter account, what are you waiting for? I was as addicted to that dumb site as everyone and i do not miss it whatsoever. We all gotta jump ship and pressure our friends to do the same

“You are not alone in seeing how broken things are. We are going to continue to be here to make sure that there is a community where you will be heard and you can hear others who are fighting the same fight” -Sarah Goodyear @thewaroncars.bsky.social I needed to hear that today…

IMO these could also be derby names

New poll on car bloat: "75% of Americans would support the [proposal to regulate head-hood impacts], even if it led to design or styling changes on the front of all new large pickup trucks & SUVs...63% [of SUV/pickup owners] would support the proposal." advocacy.consumerreports.org/press_releas...

Coverage is 100% focused on being sad for drivers who might get tickets but who else is looking forward to better visibility next year because of the new daylighting law in California? 🙋🏻‍♀️

North Berkeley BART is happening!!! Can't wait for shovels in the ground but so so happy with what we've achieved. If you wrote a letter, showed up to a meeting, put up a North Berkeley Now! yard sign or did anything to help you are part of this victory www.berkeleyside.org/2024/12/13/n...

This just in: The City of Kenmore (population 24,000, north end of Lake Washington) just started 24/7 camera enforcement of speed limits in school zones. No fines have been issued yet, just warnings. The rate of people speeding has dropped from 50% to 5%.

"Bike Face" in the wild

Bringing Halloween decorations home

Everybody likes the charm of old, historic buildings. I totally get it, but we shouldn’t forget that they can be a disaster for accessibility.
