yeah they're really on board 😂😂 “I think we really need to be looking at road construction. If you get out and you drive anywhere and 95% of people are driving a car, they are not riding a bike. They are not riding a bus." -@NCHouseSpeaker

[Nathan Bower-Bir @BowerBir]

listening to @ecotone2 on the @FiveThirtyEight politics podcast say that "everybody" including "conservative Republicans" like improving public transit and bike lanes calls to mind countless recent examples of bullshit like this 🙄

@AlexTaylorNews I was thoroughly impressed by how well stocked the supermarkets were in Kharkiv, Ukraine! Better than my local ones in London! (📷 12/02/23)

.@jimmykimmel in your bit last night about 5 states banning slavery, you seem to have missed that California wasn't one of them! (because it would *cost too much*)🧐 maybe something you could advocate for??

@AskTSA Apparently (so the agent told me *after* my film was scanned) the newer scanners will ruin lower speed film, including 400 ISO, such that *all* film should be hand-checked. It would be good if TSA put up signs to notify passengers of this change!

[Nathan Bower-Bir @BowerBir]

really wish @TSA @BostonLogan posted signs that the new scanners will destroy all film, not just >800asa like the old ones. goodbye many rolls of exposed film, inc from Ukraine border last week 😢😡

[Nathan Bower-Bir @BowerBir]

So sad that @IUBloomington shares the stage with Amazon and Starbucks in their union-busting efforts.

Very disappointed, though not surprised, by @IUBloomington's hostility to graduate workers' efforts to unionize. How generous of my alma mater...
Solidarity with @IndianaGrads ✊

None of us are alone, we keep our communities safe through loving each other, and when the cops ask you if you know the person you are stopping for, the answer is YES because they are your neighbour. We are the community we keep talking about protecting
