Given the recent police violence perpetrated against a cyclist on Queen's Quay, TPS' statement in support of that violence and the silence from City Hall, it's probably time we ride.
Strength in numbers.
Bring friends. Share widely. Ride bikes.
The proliferation of police surveillance has led to incidents of police officers using ALPR (automated license plate reader) camera networks to keep tabs on their romantic interests.

NEW: An @ij review of media reports has identified at least 14 recent cases of police officers allegedly using Flock and other automated license plate reader systems to stalk wives, girlfriends, exes, and even strangers who caught their eye in public.
I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.
On this day in 2002, four Canadian soldiers (Marc Léger, Ainsworth Dyer, Richard Green, Nathan Smith) were killed and another eight were injured in Kandahar when an American Air National Guard pilot dropped a bomb on their location after mistaking the Canadians for hostile forces

@TheStephSy examines what’s behind a potential scientific brain drain.

Your regular reminder, as police aims to cash in on back-to-school, not to hand police your drivers license, if stopped while operating NON-MOTOR vehicle or while walking.
This is to avoid the risk of demerit points or insurance increases from any cycling or walking ticket.
If you are stopped by police on your bike the HTA requires you to STATE your name & address truthfully. Do not provide ID as it may affect your driver record (inappropriately). Read our guide to navigating police interactions on your bike. Stay safe: https://t.co/up6ok3cM9a
Fortunately, many of L.A.'s oldest hardware stores continue to hang on, bucking buyouts from bigger companies and standing strong against the trend of disappearing local legends.

These are just nine of the oldest, but feel free to shout out your local hardware store in the comments. https://t.co/nkikBCxgUF
