As Gianni “Il Bambino” Infascistino continues to show up at seemingly every match, I’d be interested in seeing how things evolve re: his carbon footprint. Maybe he can trim it a bit by joining my friend and I in our rented Corolla from Dallas to Houston after the Egypt match for the Canada match.

NYC has already gotten its first taste of summer heatwaves, and the A/C is powering on. For some New Yorkers, this summer is different: They're running the A/C with stored power from Every Electric power banks, saving money and helping to create a more stable grid. Read how at tinyurl.com/yey8bjt5.

Finding out I was considered "radical" for wanting kids to be able to get school safely and independently was shocking and what motivated me to try and help change that perspective. Culture Shift developed with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social
culture shift

Normal
Accepting road violence
Accepting road fatalities
Accepting pedestrian fatalities
Accepting cyclist fatalities
Accepting excessive speeds
Accepting unsafe streets
Accepting pollution
Accepting gridlock
Accepting the loss of youth mobility
Accepting the loss of senior mobility

Radical
Wanting to prevent road violence
Wanting to prevent road fatalities
Wanting to prevent pedestrian fatalities
Wanting to prevent cyclist fatalities
Wanting slower speeds
Wanting safe streets
Wanting less pollution
Wanting less gridlock
Wanting youth mobility
Wanting senior mobility
It's time to rethink what's considered normal on our streets

How does this headline happen? No one did in pedestrian collisions (someone collided with me yesterday and all it did was make me grumpy). The headline should be “Jeep driver hits, kills toddler in stroller at marked intersection”. I’d tag the CBC but it’s not on this platform for some reason?

Road safety isn't just about being safe in your own vehicle. It's also about reducing the risks to people outside of your vehicle. Except not according to Canada and the USA, at least so far. Thanks, @davethompsonvic.bsky.social for pushing on this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This makes me sad. Because I am having the same thoughts. It’s hard to see someone whose opinions I generally trust to be right aligning with my fears, but we’re not transitioning, we’re not bending the emissions curve, even as the impacts continue to grow. 💰>>>> sustainable society and ecosystems.
