  • “If a 4,000-pound SUV runs a red light, they get a ticket and you pay it online. You’re done with it in a matter of minutes. But if a 60-pound bicycle runs a red light, then they can get a criminal summons…” A 60lb bicycle with a 120-190lb adult meat crayon riding it. That’s 250lbs of meat and metal getting slammed by a 4000lb SUV that had the green.

    “You stop and double park while you’re doing DoorDash or Uber, and you get a ticket for double parking, and there is no consideration for a working man who’s trying to do his living,”

    Peak NYC… “Yeah, uh, I broke a well known and established law, but I’m working here! Gimme a break!”

    “It’s because the design and the infrastructure is not there to protect the people who are the most vulnerable…”

    Pedestrian and traffic laws exist as a deterrent to keep people from doing stupid and dangerous things. Bike lanes and greenways exist. That’s the infrastructure! You’re a pedestrian breaking a law that’s been implemented because it makes something unsafe for everyone. Maybe don’t do the thing that makes things unsafe!?















  • I bring this up like every chance I get, but check out Libby if you don’t want to go to the library. You just link your library card and you have access to tons of books, audio books, and magazines. I also just found out about Hoopla a couple days ago and will be checking that out as soon as I go get my library card renewed tomorrow. Same principle, access to your library’s stuff, but also includes music and movies as well.






  • “I know I gave Israel all these weapons, plotted with Netanyahu to commit genocide and start a massive war in the middle east, dropped bombs on Iran, and threatened Khamenei’s life, but this was about getting attention away from all the shit I’M doing in the US! I didn’t want to get caught up in a war, I just wanted people to stop being mad at me and redirect then away from all the constitutional violations I’m committing, the people I’m deporting illegally, all the rights I’m stripping away from everyone, and all the government institutions in sabotaging. Oh, and I was supposed to get a nobel prize and a resort in Israel when Bibi agreed to stop his war, so now he’s screwing that up too!”
