On Wednesday, our biggest Fishtown Bike Gang ride joined forces w/ @wednightrides to ride from @AdaireSchool to @John_Moffet_K_5 to the American St bike lane to the 1st Riverwards Bike Fest @ Liberty Lands in NoLibs. So many contributed to an amazing event! (1/x)

Every Sunday morning for 4 years, residents of a block in Greenpoint woke up to hundreds of sheets of paper dumped on their street. TV guides, Bibles, 70’s porn mags. The serial litterer was a NYPD sergeant. gothamist.com/news/greenpoin…

The disparity I can feel between personal good days & (what I’ve long expected to be) days that illuminate the dire future on front of our species is quite significant

i feel like this sentence needs to be explained: “But now they have a child who will be in school in the next few years, so they started casually looking for a home in the suburbs.” @MichaelleBond the “so” is doing a lot of work here. inquirer.com/real-estate/hou…

For the record: I’m on Hour 8 of a travel nightmare experience caused & exacerbated at multiple times by @Hertz . Haven’t eaten in hours, still hours to go, lack energy to document it now, but want this reminder/scream into the void nonetheless.

This is the story of all the CIA assets dying in a parallel to when Trump was showing classified documents to people with no clearance at Mar-a-Lago. I thought you'd want to read it. RT for max exposure. Check out this gift article from me via @nytimes. nytimes.com/2021/10/05/us/po…

Journalists, please realize and deeply ponder that what we are experiencing on Earth is the real-time irreversible unraveling of habitability due to the sale and use of fossil fuels. And report accordingly

The first “R” is by far the best. Reduce &, where we must, Reuse. Especially when it comes to plastics.
“An international team of scientists sampled wastewater from a state-of-the-art recycling plant in the UK. They found that the microplastics released in the water amounted to 13% of the plastic processed.” theguardian.com/environment/…

Please add useful input to help guide this much-needed expansion of safe spaces to ride with the kids. Here’s the difference it makes!

I always dread pride month for exactly this reason. All the gay sex I’m forced to have. It wouldn’t be so bad, but for the government commissars, always watching, always critiquing my technique. Feels bad man. At least there’s glitter.

Rogers has always been the realest dude and an absolute beast of a writer in the best way, and this thread is the greatest thing I’ve read about the details of the WGAs position from a craft perspective. The Union wants only reasonable shit!

Politicians and news media have fueled a widespread belief that gun violence primarily affects urban communities. But between 2011–2021, the overall firearm death rate in rural counties was nearly 40% higher than in urban counterparts, new research finds. thetr.ac/HfBu8

So yours was the only masked face at the office and in the store on the subway and in the waiting room at least now you know the answer to your teacher’s question of if you would be willing to do the right thing even if you were the only one doing it.
