Naming and shaming drone operators illegally shooting footage with active firefighting assets in the air, and with an FAA TFR prohibiting all flights except fire fighting flights. ICYMI, one of these drones damaged and grounded a Canadian Super Scooper aircraft.

Glad to see the survey. I hope that something is done about the flooding under 101 and elsewhere on the trail. I've seen @cyclelicious single handedly digging drainage ditches in the past that have helped a lot.

What's with these Ticonderoga class cruisers in the Middle East shooting down planes they're not supposed to?

New hazard unlocked on VTA light rail bike compartment: my bike was hanging from light rail hooks when the front wheel let loose from the fork. The wheel stayed in the hanging hook, bike fell into somebody's lap.

A good waterproof shoe gift idea for the all-weather straphangers in your life. The website even includes a section on commuter shoes for walking, transit, and bicycling.

That’s the worst 😭 If you’re looking for lightweight, waterproof shoes, I would highly recommend Vessi. They were one of my best purchases of the year.

The affluent Bay Area suburb of Menlo Park (home of Facebook, median home price $2.6M) is planning on turning a couple downtown parking lots into multifamily affordable housing. Predictably, many local residents are absolutely furious.

We donated some old diesel passenger trains to Peru because the Caltrain electrified the line and the Twitter anger patrol is mad we didn’t build 30,000 miles of high speed rail instead.
Is this a joke? The US is going to build trains in Lima, Peru when trains in the US barely function? When China has 30,000 miles of high speed rail and we have none?

Looks like the new trash containerization laws are going to eat up all the bike racks. Should have seen that one coming...

Throwing this out into the former twitterverse: I'm on the committee for a charity horse show and we have some excess logo inventory we'd like to sell off during the Xmas season. Does anybody have experience with an ecommerce solution that would be good for a small number of items with minimal fees? We already have a Square account set up and the site is built in WordPress. Thanks for any suggestions you can give!

I lived in Colorado so I want to pronounce this "BOO-nuh VISS-tuh" even though I know it's so wrong.
UPDATE: The #BuenaFire is reported as several small fires north of Buena Vista. Multiple resources have been dispatched. #CaWx @sccounty

Jobs I've had that aren't on my resume: stocking grocery shelves, bussing tables, pizza prep & cook, aircraft galley prep, filing paperwork, steakhouse cashier, telemarketing (sorry), insurance sales (sorry again), landscaping. I'm sure I've missed some.

Kamala Harris says she worked at an Alameda McDonald's in the 1980s. Donald Trump is doubting her because the job wasn't included on her resume for a law clerk position. TELL US: Do you list every summer job or part-time job on your resume? ktvu.com/news/trump-works-fr…

42 people, 6 bicycles, 1 scooter, and 2 dogs on SB VTA green line train at Diridon. SB Blue Line had about 60 people, 9 bikes, and a scooter at Japantown. It's been a while since I've seen light rail this busy.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about cyclists rolling stop signs.

I think this remains among my favorite Telugu-language music videos, in which a guy on a bicycle destroys two dozen cars and trucks within the first minute of the video #waroncars youtube.com/watch?v=9Pv2tCjQ…
