My students' writing topic was "If you could send one modern item back in time to one specific era, what item and era would you pick?". Huge range from "bicycle to China, 500 BCE" to "rabid badger to Boris Johnson's college room, 1984".

@plookington I dunno if it's wise for me to bring a bike to a car fight?
@CyclesSmiles I'd rather some of the drivers give up driving. Maybe we could provide them with some viable alternatives, like a protected bike lane or a well-funded public transit system.
Unwelcoming Moments for a Baltimore Cyclist in February 2026.
Many drivers assume that bike lanes are legal to park in when snow takes their usual spots, and our local government doesn't care to correct them.
#BaltimoreBikeParty enjoyed some relatively pleasant weather last night.

So Duo (the multifactor authentication service that #infosec loves) has integrated with Persona (the privacy destroying, Peter Thiel backed, AI-linked, facial scanning and mapping "identity verification" software)
You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?
Yeah, that Persona.
Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...
...which means many working class folks will have no option but to be enrolled into and use Persona...
...or be fired.

I can’t stop thinking about Nurul Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.
It took five days for him to die.
He was blind and didn’t speak English.
They took the pole he was using as a cane.
This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.
Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.
It was all preventable.
They could have taken him home.
They could have called his family.
They could have refused to leave him for dead.
Say his name. Don’t ever forget what they did.

Good question ..
.
Sign on a traffic pole:
Been waiting long?
That's because the council thinks someone in a car, half a kilometer away, is more important than you*.
They could make the lights change as soon as you press the button if they wanted, but they don't.
Complain to them 07 3403 4400.
A car moving at 50km/hr will travel almost half a kilometer in 30 seconds.

Interesting. 4K is mostly a lie.

Tom Homan lied. The fascist paramilitary invaders are still in Minnesota. Don't stop until ICE is abolished. Patrol, Observe, Support, and Stay Viigilant. (2/12/26)
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone

@thathackergirl Thanks! It feels a bit like shouting into the void sometimes with how slow the city moves on bike infrastructure.
