Was just about to post about this bullshit.

Please note how this isn't even ICE, these are the regular tyrannical local cops.

As always, The Wire was a fucking documentary I guess.

Everyone is sharing their photos of the @TheWarOnCars book LIFE AFTER CARS but I have the epub of it purchased from bookshop.org that I have on my Boox Palma Android ereader.

Real message sent to a neighborhood listserv in response to a notice that the street will be closed for 4 hours on Halloween night so kids can Trick or Treat safely:

"I guess those of us with jobs who like to park on the street are left to just screw ourselves. What a shame."

I’m still looking for an “under the hood” replacement that’s not car-centric… Maybe #WarOnCars has ideas?

I want a less car-centric phrase for “under the hood”. No bicycle-centric ones come to mind because, well, none of the mechanical beauty is hidden away! “Behind the scenes” isn’t quite right. I’d like a phrase that keeps the mechanical connotations.

Yay, got my copies of Life After Cars from @TheWarOnCars and listened to the in person conversation through @litquake . Should have pushed to find my people a bit more, but turning into a pumpkin and returning home to walk my dog was just too tempting after a fortunately full week of work and healthy socializing.
I look forward to sitting and reading a bit tonight and tomorrow as the rain comes in.

My class has gotten to this bright motor age of daring death drivers and the mechanical Moloch. I am reflecting again on the need to translate the transportation planning and engineering works of Knoflacher into English so that we in the car brained Anglosphere can understand what everyone else is doing.

I walked past the old course (St Andrews) the other day wondering if the drivers of the cars parked right beside the 1st fairway had made good decisions in their parking choices.
Two cars along there was a smashed windscreen.
The greenskeeper I chatted to just after said there was a car left there all day recently with 3 strikes. Front & back windscreens, plus the side mirror.

I may have laughed.

Edited: the people parking there are not relying on their cars for their income.
