Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

so somebody at the Times (that somebody being Sulzberger) decided our national Paper of Record needed a dedicated bluesky account to lie about trans people's healthcare

at this point the New York Times would be less bigoted if they just started publishing slurs

We’re building the Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge in time for the World Cup.

Why Reopening the Strait of Hormuz Will Be Difficult Without A Deal With Iran (Gift Article) There may be no country better situated geographically than Iran when it comes to bringing an oil-dependent world to its knees.

NYT: Why It’s So Hard to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz

By Agnes Chang, Adina Renner and Samuel Granados

Geography is strategy

"The strait is narrow and shallow, forcing ships within miles of Iran’s mountainous shores, a landscape that favors asymmetric warfare tactics."

This would be incredibly easy to foresee for everyone who managed to realize what fuel is and that renewable technologies do not require fuel to operate but y'know thinking isn't popular these days.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Time to discuss the realities of, "So You Want to Launch a Ground Invasion of Iran."

1. First, of course, you need ground connected to Iran. That means Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
