If you were chilly riding in to work this morning, it might be a good day to check out my guide for dressing for the weather on a bike. My site also has a printable template for keeping notes on what you wore and how it felt if you want to create your own! allweeksend.neocities.org/Guide

Anyone know I f you can operate the full phone from the outside display? If so I’m excited to soon have a nearly new smallish phone with a vestigial/broken foldable display and a supposedly killer battery life.

Bluesky needs to solve the mystery of Carol's identity!

Wtf is up with the air quality!

very cool. would love to see the @allweeksend.com cold weather biking guide here!

The argument that autonomous vehicles are safer than human drivers is completely null when even the company says it won’t follow the law.

Billions of tax dollars to lock people up instead of letting them work and pay taxes.

Chicago achievement! ➿

To just spell it out, the Kickstarter for a MIWHT calendar (plus also stickers and prints) is going live on Thursday morning. There will be special pricing for the first 24 hours, so push on the 'notify me' thing. And tell everyone you know who wants good things to happen.

Be nice to any web developers in your life today

Tonight!

Be warned if I see you in the next couple of weeks I’m probably going to yell at you about the ferry.

Yes! 🙌

I’d love an estimate of the annual costs of wildlife collisions including emergency response, cleanup, injuries, lost time, etc. and how long it will take to pay back the cost of construction.

When considering using starlink to connect a wind farm, my first thought was “what if musk owns a competitor and wants to drive up prices? I don’t know if others took that possibility seriously, but obviously they should.

Sending the old Lake Street Bridge down the river

If you deconstruct stories like the Salt Lake City florist petition, here's how it goes: On one side you have riders who want to get to their destination safely. On the other side you have drivers who feel their convenience should take priority. And it's so normalized that they don't even see it!

When you’ve been to as many ghost bike vigils as I have it makes a lot of sense.

@jakerockatansky.bsky.social did you write this?

and they're hiring! 👀💼🏘️ job-boards.greenhouse.io/cpm/jobs/472...

MWRD does have a bioswale program, the city just has to ask mwrd.org/stormwater/g...

I talked to Vivian McConnell about her new V.V. Lightbody album. Plus: a ton of record release shows this week, and a couple events celebrating Jim Newberry’s new photo book, Chicago Music, Seen.

If we have to have lime in the city, let’s drop the scooters in favor of these. Way less likely to go OTB and they have a nice cargo basket!

Any posts trying to use kalshi/polymarket odds like polling data are trying to manipulate you!

Lots of larger plants plan maintenance, upgrades, etc. in “shoulder season” when weather tends to be favorable and heat/ac demand is lower.

i dare you to learn a few HTML tags, maybe some basic CSS formatting, and put your thoughts onto webpage documents on the internet the way God intended start now at neocities.org

My tail light explicitly has a “group ride mode”. It’s great.

Never has 3.74 miles destroyed me so thoroughly. Amazing venue and good course. Shout out to Patrick and crew!

The hills on northerly island were specifically constructed to obscure the (as it existed at the time) skyline from certain locations!

This is negligence and you’ve been lucky and/or spared by more competent and conscientious road users around you. The rest of us have to behave extra cautiously because of your recklessness. Some day, you’ll meet your equal in negligence and I hope this post surfaces at your trial.

Carcissism: the personality disorder in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance while operating a motor vehicle.

Join me to learn about biking in cooler and cold weather!

I hope (though it seems unlikely) that the city will maintain this as an unpaved trail. We have vanishingly few safe places to ride that aren’t paved and this segment is a special treat. I left my comment already but truly I will be so sad if they pave this.

Please come support Bluesky’s Beer Bar!

we built a machine that can automate internet crimes. who should be held accountable? nobody of course

Hats off to Chicago's secret Department of Malevolence that is responsible for working with the city's other departments to ensure a constant stream of very silly decisions that keep the residents from ever expecting competence, e.g., repainting the LFT markings in the fall rather than spring.

Some #chilft updates: new striping still going in on the south side continues to make no damn sense; concrete replaced near Queen's Landing; asphalt patches between the flyover and Oak Street with really messy barricades.
