I love you AP Stylebook, Anthropologist here, and you can anthropomorphize an inanimate object, but as it turns out, humans are not special, and all the studies show animals make tools, houses, communicate, create, and have culture. I am writing a whole book on traits. Animals have them all.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Nobody disputes that having access to a car in a car-dominated society is good. It gives one access to jobs, healthcare, food, education, social opportunities and more. All we're asking is for people to go one step deeper and ask why access to such basic rights requires buying and operating a car.

as usual. it was a collision with a motor vehicle that was turning right, not just a "crash" and given that the kids were apparently speeding on the sidewalk, it seems likely that the vehicle didn't stop when and where the driver is legally required to, which is frustratingly normal around here.
