@jessiesinger.bsky.social alert.
Text from NY Times article: It was not immediately clear what had caused the accident, but the police said that Ms. Yarimi had a suspended license. The authorities said they were also investigating whether the speed of the vehicles had played a role in the collision, and whether Ms. Yarimi had run a red light or been drunk at the time.

it's makes me think of the part in @jessiesinger.bsky.social's There Are No Accidents that highlights the differences in how safety is perceived by men and women, that women more accurately perceive their safety than men. And that becomes a problem when the systems are designed primarily by men.

As Donald Trump attempts to rebuild racist monuments throughout the country, let's look back at the racist monuments Bay Ridge residents have successfully exorcised... And learn how these "historic" sites were faked by racist assholes in the 1900s and 1950s. radiofreebayridge.org/episode/raci...

Ironically, some of the best data proving these connections came from the U.S., which has tracked injuries and other health issues by race for many years (Canada has less such data).The author @jessiesinger.bsky.social uses such numbers extensively in her book, There Are No Accidents.

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Why do men bike more than women in many countries? A new study from Spain shows that the construction of a connected network of high-quality protected bike lanes helps to close this gender gap. When we fail to build protected bike lanes, we keep women from riding bikes.

1. The national democratic establishment will use the NYC mayoral primary as a left vs. center litmus test: Zohran vs. Cuomo. If Zohran wins, there could be hope for the party? 2. Time to start reminding people how RCV works: Fill in all 5 slots. Do not rank Cuomo or Adams.

One way to read this is that Musk is learning that his project is wildly unpopular and is freaking out. Another fun one is that they all know what’s going on is wildly illegal and are effectively playing hot potato with the liability.
