"But it’s important to remember that the most serious threat to pedestrians on Sheridan is not e-bike or e-scooter riders, but drivers" #cycling #transport #infrastructure https://chi.streetsblog.org/2026/08/03/its-understandable-that-chicago-is-using-geofencing-to-keep-e-scooter-riders-from-s...

  Freedom is an illusion "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." --Frederick Douglass https://www.techspot.com/news/113236-us-prosecutors-charge-atlanta-man-after-grapheneos-phone.html

  “I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [mind] and here [heart] and what you decide to do every day will make you a good man...or not.” - The Hospitaller
