This makes even less sense when you realize the language seems to suggest that I can still do >15 mph on a traditional bike or scooter.
Why should a person on a bike get a criminal summons for traveling 16 mph, while the driver of a 5,000 pound SUV doesn't even receive a ticket for speeding at 35 mph?

Mayor Adams continues his war on biking with this backward rule — despite >90% of public comments opposing it.

“We need to spend in areas” is what I tell my wife when I buy new 3D printer filament.
REPORTER: The president is revamping the Rose Garden for a second time, he's spending billions of dollars to overhaul a 747 that will be used for Air Force 1 for possibly a year. Are you concerned about that spending too?

RUSS VOUGHT: We have a lot of priorities. We need to spend in areas.

What the fuck is this alert? “Despite” what exactly? Mamdani’s not the mayor yet. This is such blatant editorializing nonsense.

Patiently awaiting apologies from all the people who told me that describing Trump as a "fascist" was an overreaction.
Trump threatens to use “heavy force” against anyone who protests his military parade this weekend, and note that he makes no exception for peaceful protesters
