Logan Square Bike Jam | Bike Grid Now | Sunday 5:30pm
RESCHEDULED TO THE 27th! Robust community inputters! We are tired of the City drawing up plans that don’t do enough to protect vulnerable road users. Even worse? When they consider it and toss out protected lanes because…parking? It’s challenging? Unacceptable! It’s time to jam it up.
You’re a Cyclist Who Was Just Struck by a Car Driver. Here’s Why It Was Your Fault
McSweeney’s bringing some hard truths with this one. We could all be doing better. >You forgot to go back in time and tell people that subsidizing the oil industry might be a bad idea. When the oil and auto industries teamed up to bend public policy to their will, making a system of roads and parking lots that now function as a continuous subsidy and magnificent symbol of the normalization of injury and pollution, you had a lot of options. You could have objected. You could have shifted public opinion. Instead, you weren’t even born yet. And, rather than go back in time, all you’ve been doing is riding to get groceries and occasionally saying, “Please stop killing us.” On the effort scale? 1/10.
Is there a way to block/restrict custom emotes from other servers?
A post in [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://midwest.social/c/chicago] blew up last night (wild seeing a post with over 300 votes there) and a bunch of folks from hexbear came into the thread and posted comments with over-the-top, large, and annoying emotes. Is there anyway for mods of communities to limit theses? If not I’m more than happy to remove them manually as I see them pop up.

Izzy decided to nap all day for International Cat Day
Sad to see these guys are closing their doors. Apparently they never bounced back post COVID, too bad, I enjoyed most of their offerings that I’ve tried.
Maybe I should be drinking more beer, you know to save the local economy… 🤷

CTA leaders far removed from realities of mass transit
>If you want to run a railroad, you should be on it. These fat-cat elites are far removed from the real life of public transportation. The biggies are too busy, their matters too important, to bother with the CTA. They have no clue about what it’s like to search for safety on a train car as the thieves and miscreants prey on riders. They don’t face the fear of standing in a bus shelter, alone at night, waiting for the ghost bus that never comes. Amen.
