The idea that people skip fares because they don't have the cash isn't supported by any evidence. People skip fares because they are entitled jerks. Period. That's why so many fare evaders are also smoking and assaulting people on transit.

a mother, father, and toddler were all killed by an SUV ramming into a bus stop in San Francisco this weekend. the one surviving infant will never know their parents or their sibling because we refuse to take traffic violence seriously in this city
The leader of the Houthis, Ali al-Kahum announcing that they've been working with Russia to destroy western shipping should be no surprise to anyone except the western politicians that continue to block aid to Ukraine.
Headline writers: Don’t outsmart yourself. Just do “Trump Promises Bloodbath if he Doesn’t Win Election.”
As I ride one packed subway train after another tonight I’m thinking about all the right-wing losers who replied to me after the shooting on Thursday and said “scared now???”. The answer, sir, is no!
the crows have been freed up from working the land due to higher agricultural productivity and are converged on industrial cities to partake in booming commerce, trade, and industry

@donaldtusk And open borders. And stop the supply chain of components for Hypersonic missiles through your territory. From Italy. And stop buying Russian grain.
Recapping the Berkeley vacancy tax: If you own an empty lot, you pay nothing. If you own an empty house, you pay half the tax. If you own an eightplex with seven occupied and one empty unit, you pay the full penalty. Where does this begin to make sense?
ruSSia does not bomb indiscriminately. They target civilians on purpose.
Just watched a finance bro in a button-up and Patagonia vest jump the turnstile in Fidi 💀 2024 the year social norms officially died
"Expanding transit and walkability is ableist" is one of the stupidest arguments I routinely hear people make unironically. Literally, driving is a much more challenging task for disabled people than any alternative way of getting around.
This psycho killed a little kid doing something that has become shockingly common on NYC roads - lined up at an intersection, he didn't want to wait behind the cars in front of him, so he swerved into the bike line to overtake all of them abc7ny.com/boy-killed-bro…
Belgorod is an independent state being shelled by russian nazis since 2014. Ukraine should protect the ukrainian-speaking population of Belgorod and support this new country,so it is time for a special operation to demilitarize and denazify Belgorod. Long live the BPR
Every US city has a beloved historic district that's basically just: the completely normal pre-zoning neighborhood we didn't destroy in the 1950s. (And that's thoroughly illegal to build today.)

More is going on here.
@gallandguile Right, this makes a little more sense if you were to say “a low income family”. But acting like black people are an indigenous group in cities is, uh, very different.

This is the future of every American city that holds fast to its NIMBYism and concomitant opposition to safe streets, transit, and bike lanes: An aging city, filled with drivers who are no longer qualified to drive, slaughtering entire families in their over-powered SUVs.

What a nice lakefront highway you have. Would be a shame if a single accident brought it to its knees every other day
Treat cars like cigarettes: Cars were marketed as cool, expensive, and have secondhand impacts. Just like we created smoke-free zones for health benefits and increased profits, establishing car-free communities give similar results to what we did for cigarettes. 🚙 🚬
The insane thing is that, because of our clueless traffic engineers and spineless electeds, the automotive arms race is real. A family gave up their car in favor of riding the bus, and their reward was to be slaughtered en masse by a speeding driver.

Yet another driver has killed another person in a crosswalk in NYC. What are we even doing??! Also— this is how you write a headline. You mention the context and culture of lawlessness and impunity that drivers operate in around here.

Nice to see this work via @TheBikingLawyer in the Feb/Mar edition of @CanadianCycling
For me, I come down pretty easily on the side of the incumbent here, because I don't think early polls mean all that much. In the Biden-vs-Trump case, specifically, I would still lean more towards Biden. Trump's got big issues of his own that likely won't go away.
