So much of our language reflects
the common “car first” bias around our streets, & we should never forget that much of that language was the result of deliberate campaigns to specifically re-write our perspective of streets as “for cars only.” This is one of the more subtle, but important, examples.
Okay CTA. This is a good sign.
I SAY I want to ride, but what I really want is to eat, lol
Is there some kind of weird bureaucratic incentive to not find a hit-and-run driver at fault? Like it’s more paperwork if they assign fault to a hit-and-run driver? Seems like a hit-and-run should be automatic grounds to find fault.
Every extra centimeter of hood height is another blind spot.
This isn’t an accident. It’s a design choice.
Stop manufacturing, selling, and buying these machines.

Take the MARC (commuter rail) up to Baltimore after DC, you’ll love it!
Space stuff is cool.
We should do somewhat less war stuff and somewhat more space stuff.
Artemis II is $4bn per launch, roughly the cost of 2-4 days of War in Iran.
What if we did not do War in Iran, but instead did cool space stuff?
In 4 weeks Trump has transformed Iran from a country where people poured into the streets to overthrow the regime into a country where people poured into the streets to stop America. Great work.
Are you going to forbid preteens and teenagers from accessing the adult section? Should kids only have access to some adult books? Are you going to forbid a teenager from reading Pride and Prejudice because it's labeled as an adult book? How does any of this work?
Republicans blamed Governor Wes Moore for the failure to implement a gas tax holiday but never filed the necessary legislation themselves.

5 hour early arrivals means the amtrak crescent is now time competitive with any atlanta–northeast corridor flight
as a bonus, you get to sleep those 5 extra hours away instead of standing in the tsa line
Post from Andrew A.N. Deloucas @aandeloucas.com: In line with discussion about the job market, the latest majors being closed at Syracuse University: Nine majors "sunsetting": • Classical civilization • Classics (Greek and Latin) • Digital humanities • Fine arts • German • Latino-Latin American studies • Middle Eastern studies • Modern Jewish studies • Russian ALT
The First University in the Nation to Build a Center Dedicated to the Creator Economy Syracuse University is creating something that doesn't exist anywhere else in higher education. The Center for the Creator Economy is the first academic center of its kind on a U.S. college campus. Led jointly by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Martin). Whitman School of Management, the center reinforces Syracuse University's commitment to bold, forward-looking academic leadership. By aligning strengths in entrepreneurship, media, communications, athletics and digital infrastructure, the University is charting how higher education can prepare students for the 21st-century economy.
Another university getting rid of things you could only ever do at a university and replacing them with stuff a 13-year-old can do on a phone
Really wild how far ahead of the genetic evidence for that sort of interbreeding event that book was. Also just so wildly bonkers on the social and mental organization of Neanderthals.
polyethylene is the most produced plastic, about 1/3rd of all plastics globally

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?
One of the hardest things in our standards today is the lack of scalable widths for shared use paths based on volumes. It is critical we take paths and sidewalks as seriously as we do any street.
Police MORE likely to find non-motorist at fault Police LESS likely to find non-motorist at fault Driver did not hit & run Driver hit & ran Non-motorist is non-adult (0-18) Non-motorist is adult (19+) Non-motorist had serious or fatal injury Non-motorist had “minor”, “possible”, or no injury Crash happened at night (9 pm - 7 am) Crash happened during the day (7 am - 9 pm) Crash happened on road Crash happened off road (e.g., parking lot) Non-motorist is male Non-motorist is female
Taking other significant factors into account, Montgomery County police crash reports in 2015-2023 were about 50% more likely to find the non-motorist at fault when a driver hit a non-motorist aged 18 or under, compared to an adult (19+) non-motorist.
My husband and | just received 13 traffic violations in the mail 2 of them were from STOP SIGNS. IS THIS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE IN DC?!?? Is there a lot of success in getting these things cancelled?! We just moved here and have been going with the flow of traffic! This is INSANE $1500 worth of infractio
i can't stand nextdoor but i think it's fascinating that out of 137 commenters about 120 are like "yeah it sucks to drive in dc" and the handful remaining are patiently explaining that the one weird trick to not getting tickets is to stop driving like an asshole
This is a great reflection. I’ve learned a lot about historical societies and never, ever realized the degree to which slavery pervaded history until listening to this season of @patrickwyman.bsky.social Past Lives podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

The OECD’s new Road Safety Annual Report offers a reminder that the US approach toward traffic safety is an abject failure.
Americans are >2x more likely to die on the road than those in South Korea, Israel, Australia, Spain, and other rich countries.
www.itf-oecd.org/road-safety-...
People who 'explain'
that the road fatality rate is so much higher in the US than in other rich countries
cuz we drive more and farther
need to actually explain, also,
why the road fatality rate is so much higher in the US than in Canada.
