Working at the office today and from all angles cars are reflecting sunlight into my eyes. Just realized that bicycle parking wouldn't be causing this slight inconvenience to me. Fuck cars.

Car tires shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment. Urgent action is needed

Electric cars are not THE solution.

"Boulder police are investigating the traffic signs as criminal tampering."

“I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.”

I'd love if they implemented whatever appropriate ways they have.... then again they said appropriate, not effective.

Of course, the real story here is how the elderly (and everyone else) are fucked over by car dependency and its associated suburban sprawl, shit public transport, and unwalkable neighbourhoods.

The Victorian government is opening up car parks near train stations for apartments.

Despite not mandating enough affordable housing, this is a good policy that should be rolled out nationally.

Climate activists in Scotland have carried out a series of actions against SUV cars, saying they are acting in solidarity with the victims of the Valencia floods.

The Tyre Extinguishers have called on their supporters to take actions against SUV cars in their areas, after members of the group in Edinburgh stencilled the sides of targeted vehicles on Sunday night with the words: “These cars kill Valencians.”

At least 214 people have been reported killed in Valencia and surrounding areas after unprecedented rainfall last week caused flooding that swept away bridges, cars and streetlights. Global heating made the heavy rainfall about 12% heavier and twice as likely, according to an initial estimate carried out by scientists from World Weather Attribution.

The flooding has been described as the worst natural disaster in recent Spanish history.

Posting pictures of the Edinburgh actions on their account on X, the Tyre Extinguishers said: “SUVs targeted in solidarity with Valencia climate victims.

“Outraged Edinburgh residents took action last night highlighting SUV’s [sic] disproportionate role in causing catastrophic weather, like that which has killed over 200 in Spain.

Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road?

This one is parked between two new Blazers, which are as wide and have distinctly taller hoods.
