oh, thanks Starscream!! you gotta teach me how to draw landscapes sometime, i canNOT draw scenery

he does walk on walls, but never on the ground

like, you can find him making origami animals in the corners of the ceiling, you can even see him hanging upside down on a web, you just never see him walk like a normal being because he 'finds it boring'

he also likes making paper planes and throwing them from where he's at, especially to people he just likes to annoy for no reason

Well I'm not good at animals or people. I can draw flowers.

If I could climb like that, I wouldn't walk on the ground ever either.

Would you throw paper planes at people?

Who, me? That's so immature!

Maybe at Megatron.

Hahaha! Thought you might.

I can think of a few people I'd throw stuff at too.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Like...?

Prowl!

Are you crazy or dumb?

Revolt of the Delivery Workers

Exploited by apps. Attacked by thieves. Unprotected by police. The city’s 65,000 bikers have only themselves to count on.

Perfecting the New York Street

We consulted architects and planners to create an achievable, replicable plan — one suited to a city embracing its public spaces as never before.

New York and Curbed recruited a team of designers and consultants, led by the architecture firm WXY, to approach the streets as a matrix of overlapping, interrelated networks. The allure of more humane cities has generated an entire library’s worth of plans and pilot projects, both top-down and grassroots, for areas like Downtown Brooklyn and Soho. A few years ago, a consortium of Harlem business and organizations collaborated on a plan to redesign East 125th Street. In 2019, the City Council passed a law requiring the Department of Transportation to develop a five-year citywide plan. But this torrent of good intentions and expertise has fragmented the issue further by producing more schemes to ignore, postpone, and gripe about. Most New Yorkers’ concerns are exquisitely parochial: The only time a Bronxite is likely to care about, say, the width of Soho’s sidewalks is if it makes parking there even worse.

Before: 1. The bus can’t move until the truck does, the truck can’t move until the crosstown car gets through the red light, and the car can’t move until pedestrians are done crossing. 2. Restaurant shed + tree + scaffolding = please step into oncoming traffic. 3. An intrepid cyclist is boxed in by construction, a double-parked van, and a bus pulling into traffic. 4. Streetery bumper cars. 5. You’d have to be suicidal to ride in the street here. 6. Hope nobody needs that hydrant. 7. The way to hail a cab is by standing where it can hit you. 8. Every trash can is different and in a different spot. 9. Disappearing curb. 10. No audible signals for people who are blind or have low vision. 11. Rough curb cuts suitable for high-clearance wheelchairs only. 12. The other side of the street is so far away. Photo-Illustration: nightnurse images

After: 1. On 34th Street, buses own the road. 2. Kit-built streeteries: No more splintery plywood. 3. Enclosed trash bins eliminate piled-up rat feast. 4. A sidewalk shed that isn’t a grimy tunnel of support columns. 5. Streetside trash bins that trucks can grab and dump. 6. Extra-wide lane for bikes, scooters, and other human-powered transit. 7. Sidewalks wide enough for everyone. 8. Raised crosswalk with tactile corner ramps: slows drivers, safer for everyone else. 9. Buses, unleashed, become actual rapid transit. 10. A zone for delivery trucks to unload your Amazon box; bikes do the last few blocks. Photo-Illustration: nightnurse images

How to get tested for coronavirus in Seattle if you don’t have a car

Driving through — whether to pick up food or for coronavirus testing — offers a quick way to limit contact between the person inside the car and others.

“Advocates for people who ride transit and people with disabilities asked Mayor Jenny Durkan and the Seattle City Council Wednesday to require drive-thru services to allow people to approach on foot or using a wheelchair.”
