Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
There’s a widespread myth that Americans hate traffic cameras. It’s simply not true. On the contrary, researchers have consistently found that Americans broadly support using automatic enforcement to curb crashes. And for good reason: It works. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

The most telling part of the Mirror Indy article is this photo. DPW scrapped bike lanes to preserve parking that is barely utilized. The NIMBYism on the North Side is a big reason I left for the East side of the city.

All of the lessons that The Biggest Loser taught—from disordered eating to ruthless self talk—all of that came because we culturally thought it was beneficial & entertaining to abuse fat people. Anti-fat bigotry was the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine go down. It was a feature, not a bug.
Just heard Sleep Token. Bet this goes hard if u drink starbucks
Strange, I was told congestion pricing would turn Manhattan into a ghost town
There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.
Hey, #GenCon2025 friends! Heads up in this city: Nobody pays attention to red lights or crosswalks. DO NOT start crossing, even if you have right-of-way, without being CERTAIN drivers are paying attention to you. Please, don't end up on @indypedcrisis.info this weekend. Be safe, have fun.

I love seeing conservatives getting pushed out of speedrunning spaces and being scared to participate in them. We should keep doing that just by existing and not backing down. If you think GDQ is “too political” you should eat dirt 👍
like the last time i went "oh yeah, buffering" is when i was in discord and i got disconnected bc my internet briefly went out but my youtube video was still playing.
when my family still had dial-up and i waited hours for a line rider video to buffer all the way so i could watch it. idk if the kids these days even know about buffering (or line rider), like it still happens but you don't really come face to face with it ever
Car buyers will now be allowed write off up to $10,000/ year in interest paid on qualifying auto loans Car drivers can still get over $3,500 in parking tax benefits too But, bike commuters got their $240/year benefit cut It's not about the budget, it's a preference & subsidy for people who drive
Let’s be clear: This crossing and the intersection at Westfield and Winthrop are two of the busiest and most shittily designed trail crossings anywhere and they are some of the oldest of the whole system. The drivers fucking suck, but this should’ve been fixed/redesigned decades ago.

VGAPride is my program for displaying pride flags in MS-DOS. Here's photos of my Pentium-60mhz showing the rainbow flag, trans pride flag, non-binary pride flag, and asexual pride flag. github.com/foone/VGAPride
Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.
!! That’s Nashville, **Indiana,** folks.
There is an entire plaza built for community right next to Gainbridge and the infrastructure to support walking or biking to walk up and yet they decide to gridlock the entire mile square for hours during rush hour. Smooth brain stuff
also you guys the library??? We all gotta be using it more. An incredible public good. Walk in, get anything that interests you, check out for a total of zero dollars, walk out. anyone against it is my nemesis

There are more trans people in the world than anybody knows or can accurately count and thank god for that

Long live print journalism!

This discovery is just an additional reminder of how interwoven we are as Americans,” [Jari C.] Honora said in a text message late Thursday. “I hope that it will highlight the long history of Black Catholics, both free and enslaved, in this country, which includes the Holy Father’s family.”
“Chicago pope” already feels like a 30 Rock bit that only happened in one episode but has nonetheless rattled around in your head for 15 years
Take me down to Circuit City where the deals are great and selection plenty
beyond parody that they're only pushing so hard because the kid was good at football
imagining a third guy who thinks you rated it perfectly and it's just okay
man it sucks that i have to learn this kind of info on bluesky rather than some kind of dedicated jeremy renner based social media platform. someone needs to get on that

World wide issue, add to problem that often 2l of coke is cheaper than 2l of bottled water. When money is tight you are going to go for that coke.
"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.
Hey, rural person who has to drive 30+ minutes to the closest grocery store, you are in a food desert.
Birdwatching is a fun and (mostly) inexpensive hobby. And it turns out that Indianapolis is a great place for it! I spoke to one of the world's best birdwatchers for some tips. mirrorindy.org/how-to-bird-...

"Did the pope have the faggot pass" - the greatest discourse in the history of Bluesky, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate
It's time for my annual rewatch of Peppermint Patty slowly descending into madness because Marcie cannot figure out how to boil a fucking egg.
Another piping plover was seen wandering through the sand at Montrose Beach Friday — this time one of Chicago’s very own. Imani, the son of beloved couple Monty and Rose, is back home.
I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.
People on foot, horseback, bikes and wagons were perfectly safe at uncontrolled intersections, but stop signs were created shortly after the invention of cars because cars are dangerous and drivers are assholes.
"Cyclists are always running stop signs!" Yes they make no sense for us, legalize treating them as yields
BREAKING: Pippin is back at Montrose Beach! Mark Kolasa, your Montrose Beach Dunes Volunteer Community Steward, alerted us and the birding community this morning of two banded Piping Plovers at Montrose. 📸: Lin Johnston (Pippin, Montrose protected beach, Chicago, April 11, 2025)

Ratatouille was right about grapes and cheese. Yknow
Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
Happy birthday, trans people
For Trans Day Of Visibility if you're cis you should watch I Saw The TV Glow and see what happens

Israeli settlers tried to murder Hamdan Ballal today, and now he’s missing after the IDF kidnapped him from the ambulance he was in. No one knows where he is. All this is targeted. The US and others have censored this film despite it winning an Oscar.
nooo wheres the flavor
Hey baby are you todays date because you’re 3/10

the people yearn for permanent daylight saving time
As expected, public approval of congestion pricing in New York is following the same trajectory it followed in London, Stockholm and everywhere else it was tried. One would hope we could learn a lesson from such things!
This feels like the natural conclusion of Steak N Shake’s enshittification that started in the mid-00s
it's cool living in a country where the fate of having kids like me is considered worse than having your kid die of measles
this isn't gonna end well

We did it! Today, construction officially begins on our third BRT line, from Cumberland, IN, through downtown Indianapolis, to the Indianapolis International Airport!
We already know that incentivizing EVs can stimulate adoption but in case you wonder about the demand for the other type of EVs aka e-bikes, here are a few numbers: — California: The queue to apply for California’s new e-bike incentive program, which offered 1,500 vouchers, reached 100,000 people.

Driving past a hobby lobby and yelling IT SHOULDVE BEEN YOU!!!! out the window
The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
I'll give you +540 odds on anything other than this ticket being closed without comment. But it's been this way at least three weeks and it's fucking ridiculous. @indypedcrisis.info
They’re baaaaaack
We had the exact right amount of technology when Barnes & Noble set up those listening stations where you could scan any CD in the store. Everything past that was a mistake.
And this has been the position of the US government for nearly 80 years: Forced public subsidy of private transportation to create profit for oil/gas, car manufacturers, and road construction. That’s why public transit (more affordable in every way) is dead in much of the country.
MTA doing more than any other agency by literally just saying "No"
Weekly reminder that you can literally just do this. You don't have to listen to him. It's that easy
RFK is about to be confirmed. If you haven’t, step out this afternoon and get a flu and covid shot.

Winter makes our transportation priorities so clear. Street: well-cleared throughout snowfall Taxpayer subsidized “free” car parking: cleared within 24 hours Sidewalk & bus stop: untouched 48 hours later, w/ lots of footprints from all of the folks who rely on this sidewalk. #plowMPLSsidewalks
