Locked In: Mamdani Proposes $25M For Long-Sought Secure Bike Parking - Streetsblog New York City New York City's effort to provide secure bike parking will soon bear fruit thanks to $25 million in Mayor Mamdani's budget.

Suburban Sprawl may seem cheap, but even the costs we CAN count are far too high, and we ALL pay them.

A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying Β£5 daily congestion charge

In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

β€œHelsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

a key feature of this is there is no public benefit to it at all. it is legislature designed to harm a specific group, nothing more.

Hellebuyck going to the White House means it's a GREEN LIGHT for reporters/fans to ask about Trump, the optics of supporting Trump and his fascist policies, etc. He's invited politics into the chat. Everything is on the table now. Let's see how media/fans handle it (and how quickly they let it go).
