There is this fallacy that the cyclists getting killed by drivers are running red lights and doing wheelies in the middle of the lane, when the reality is that cyclists get doored or right hooked. It's easier to have this worldview instead of acknowledging the fundamental changes needed.

Look at this gorgeous & heartbreaking crop art by Minnesota artist Jennifer Nelson, inspired by “Guernica.” Thanks @badlawyerpod.bsky.social for bringing it to our attention

Crop art in the style of Picasso’s Guernica. The image depicts a commentary on the federal government’s invasion of Minneapolis and the terror and resilience of the people. A loon is central, its wings spread in protection or in flight. A man lies on the ground, cell phone in hand. An abstract figure with its arms up holds an “ICE OUT” sign.

Chevron donated $150,000 to the Bay Area Council, which led a campaign against electrification rules requiring homeowners to replace gas water heaters with electric heat pumps. The Council hired a software company to send thousands of opposition emails, some without the consent of the signers.

I think people would be less likely to buy large vehicles if it was a huge pain in the ass to drive them here, especially in cities. Higher gas prices are part of it. But there should be extra fees and taxes based on weight. Parking your giant Suburban should be incredibly difficult. etc.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

I think we're within a few years of Democrats/liberals/leftists being forced to make a hard choice between coddling violent drivers in our cities -- blocking traffic enforcement, defending "free" parking, saying $75,000 cars are for the "working class" -- and realizing those are fascist positions.

Of note, one of this year's ballot measures is purportedly to fund necessary medical research, but a close examination reveals that it's basically a $4 billion taxpayer payout to a single sketchy nonprofit. That's why it's important to read the fine print.

There's a reason why Somerville hasn't had a traffic death in 4 years. The city isn't perfect, but they've made a concerted effort to design many streets around people and not cars. You can still drive, but you're going to have to do so slowly and while paying attention.

Somerville is intentionally making roads harder to drive on. It’s getting results. - The Boston Globe

To make roads safer, the city says, sometimes you have to put some obstacles in drivers' way.

The fallacy of the climate movement's electric car advocacy is belief it's faster to get people into EVs than into walkable homes where they can drive less. The reality is it's probably ten times faster to build homes in walkable neighborhoods than to convince people to buy electric cars.

If, as speculated, this was caused by the driver hitting the accelerator due to human error or medical event, let's be 100% clear: That does not make it "just one of those things." That does not make it "unforeseeable." That does not make it "unpreventable." This is not an acceptable failure mode.

It’s pretty clear motorists believe pedestrians lose their right of way at a crosswalk if they are on their phones. What do we think is the root of this perspective? I think it’s that they are also mostly on their phones and they rely on pedestrians to pay attention for them.

See also: Transit is not a natural resource. Places that have it have invested in it. If it is low quality, patchy or absent in your sub/urban area, it is because it has not been invested in. I bet motor infrastructure has though. That did not happen by accident & it does not have to stay that way.
