This is the most crashes I've seen at once on Google Maps (19). Drivers can't handle rain apparently.

Thought I'd found an example of a drive through bank outside of North America, but nope, it's been closed since COVID

"We don't want businesses on a main street" sure is a wild take

Just ran some numbers and found that if the US had made its roads as safe as those of the Netherlands in the year 2000 and kept pace with the improvements there, we'd have saved 641,000 lives.

Movie villains are a problematic concept. Hero/villain stories promote a sort of confirmation bias that there's an objective good/evil and that both sides will agree which is which. It's dangerous not to be a moral relativist because you might fail to question whether you're on the correct side.

TIL that Mohamed Atta was a professional urban planner, of the preservationist nimby persuasion, and that his graduate school thesis was about how high-rises ruin neighborhood character 😳.
Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta that reads, “ At the Hamburg University of Technology, Atta studied under the guidance of the department chair, Dittmar Machule, who specialized in the Middle East. 19] Atta was averse to modern development. This included the construction of high-rise buildings in Cairo and other ancient cities in the region. He believed that the drab and impersonal apartment blocks, built in the 60s and 70s, ruined the beauty of old neighborhoods and robbed their people of privacy and dignity.”Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, with a highlighted sentence that reads “He criticized how the newfangled skyscrapers and other modernizing projects disrupted the fabric of communities.”

"The Overton window has skewed to the right. If you dare suggest that privatization isn't the best thing, healthcare for instance, you get labelled a communist, which is in my opinion idiotic." @countbinface.bsky.social speaks more sense about American politics than 99% of US politicians.

If you look back on the 80s and remember it as a time of safety, you probably have lead poisoning.

More Americans were killed by cars from 2008-2025 (662,033) than in WWI, WWII, plus all the other wars the US has been involved in after the Civil War (634,632). The Revolutionary War killed 31,000 Americans. US roads have killed that many every year for the last 76 years.

Transit travel times on Google Maps to get to an arbitrary point 5 miles out from city hall in various cities of similar population density, between 1400 and 2300 people/km2 (I averaged 3 points for each). Not surprisingly, northern cities do better.
