This is why vehicular cycling doesn't work. Even a 3-time Tour de France winner can't go fast enough to satisfy murderous assholes in cars. https://t.co/LU37gA9eiD
@MikeLindblom @corb555 Is this # per-mile or per trip? I.e., a driver bringing their car from Seattle to Bainbridge uses less fuel driving via Tacoma than the ferry averages per-person?
@silvernailsea @PoulChapman I mean, OK, but I wouldn’t call the Missing Link a “win” for the North End… we’ve been trying to get this done for over 4 decades.
@RoyDelfino @ericacbarnett @Lisa_Herbold I mean, speeding is illegal, but drivers in Seattle do it all the time without consequences, and that’s a crime that could directly hurt someone else. Not all laws are enforced all the time, but people only seem to get mad about some of them.
@MikeLindblom @emveezee The car manufacturers were always going to optimize for the comfort, safety, and convenience of their customers, not squishy people who didn’t pay them money.
Our hands-off “business-friendly” approach to this is going to kill people. Companies should be ticketable.
@Michell09973640 @GordonOfSeattle@seattledot The driver is passing on the right, speeding, and in a lane he’s not supposed to be in, except for an imminent right turn. I think the onus is mostly on him, though the driver turning left theoretically shouldn’t enter a lane they don’t know is clear.
Vince Dunn’s goal makes the Kraken the first team in NHL history to open the scoring in each of a franchise’s first six playoff games according to @PR_NHL.
@ericacbarnett The condoization of Ballard can be tied back to racist zoning codes of 100 years ago. “Historic” orgs then made sure the main SFH areas didn’t suffer the indignity of a small apt building, so they were pushed to Ballard which didn’t so much have the zoning gatekeepers.
@BriannaWu This would be true if Tesla was actually a car company. If they can still sell them, even with no profit, they can still sell cap&trade offsets to conventional-fuel car manufacturers. Good electric cars out of the other guys is what they’re really worried about.
@malfudoooo @bwjmasher @AsISeeIt22@kendalllllbaaby@ericareport He also apparently drives a golf cart that goes faster than standard, to make this easier. https://t.co/ClUoEWXRng

@ML28300@NateSilver538 He did that back in 2017, so he could start holding “campaign” rallies as the sitting president, ‘cause that’s not creepy at all.
