Walked away with a few bruises and a couple of scrapes, zero brain injury. I have now joined the 90 something % who injured themselves on their own bike.22 Aug 2026 18:31 +0000at://did:plc:ekolrnathzjy2htughxbewo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtovuwd53k2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/alexbikes.bsky.social/post/3mtma5vxb6k2yA local café near me went through the effort of staging their meals, taking photos, printing them out, placing them at the entrance of the café & they took that all out to replace it with AI slop!?!?! WHY?! WHY GIVE US AI IMAGES OF A BURGER WHEN YOU ALREADY TOOK PICTURES OF THE BURGER YOU COOKED??21 Aug 2026 16:57 +0000at://did:plc:ekolrnathzjy2htughxbewo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtma5vxb6k2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/alexbikes.bsky.social/post/3mtk7pclnt227Looking for local transportation/EV advocated in Florida!

The tents that where there are gone and a man wrapped in a blanket was sleeping on one of the benches. Moving people around doesn't solve the issue of homelessness.20 Aug 2026 20:19 +0000at://did:plc:ekolrnathzjy2htughxbewo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtk2z3bpcc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/alexbikes.bsky.social/post/3mtihqevuk22pI didn't think I'd like Odysseus but you know what?

Is there a good time for a bathroom break and should I bring snacks?19 Aug 2026 19:59 +0000at://did:plc:ekolrnathzjy2htughxbewo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mthjfs7rvs25https://bsky.app/profile/alexbikes.bsky.social/post/3mthbjclwns22I think the most willfully ignorant talking points I continue to see are "Renters don't invest in their community" and all "Homeless people are drug addicts". Its willfully ignorant and should be called out every time for what it is, ignorance that is willfully spread to cause harm.19 Aug 2026 17:38 +0000at://did:plc:ekolrnathzjy2htughxbewo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mthbjclwns22https://bsky.app/profile/alexbikes.bsky.social/post/3mtermtyfvs23Don't you love it when people make assumptions and never have an answer to policy decisions made by the city that cause harm? I DO 🥰 Oakland has an obligation to all of its people, including homeless ones. Forcing people to move without notice is not care. People need homes.

The city, it seems without any announcements are clearing homeless people from the park. Moving encampments around solves nothing, people need housing. Its really disappointing to see because where are they supposed to go?18 Aug 2026 16:39 +0000at://did:plc:ekolrnathzjy2htughxbewo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtenr25bc22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/alexbikes.bsky.social/post/3mtabsbkqtc24Just finished reading "A Short Stay in Hell", shoutout to Zoroastrians everywhere.16 Aug 2026 22:54 +0000at://did:plc:ekolrnathzjy2htughxbewo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtabsbkqtc24https://bsky.app/profile/alexbikes.bsky.social/post/3mt2dim2ksk2yLeft my window open last night and the apartment smells like rain.
