i just cannot comprehend having this kind of disregard for the lives of other people. i don't even drive the speed limit in my neighborhood for fear i'll hit somebody's kid or dog
I don’t think it’s a particularly hot take to say the person who posted a timelapse of themself playing GTA V on the interstate in their Cybertruck should be in prison

I think part of what I like about riding transit is that I get a chance to be nice to people. I just like being nice to people man

so I knew Congestion Pricing was going to result in an improvement but I'm absolutely floored by how good it's actually been

This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.
