Going home I passed 6 cars in a row with people driving at inconsistent speed and swerving. Every single one I passed was on their #phone... WTF is wrong with you people?? You're like crack addicts. There is NOTHING too important not to pull over. Healthy people are sick of it! #PutItDown #driving!

Everyone wants to throttle down the speed of fast ebikes to sub-20 MPH and ban them etc. sure I guess. But no one talking about the gradual creep of cars getting larger and ignoring speed limits and blowing thru red lights.

Touchscreens are a safety menace. Unlike physical buttons navigated by touch only, screens require the driver to look away from the road. I can't believe we allow them.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

As this has been doing the rounds on BlueSky - hey football fans, why not give the #CFL a try? If you use CFL+ then regular season CFL games will be available to all International fans with a portion of the 2026 season also available to U.S. fans - FREE! Find out more here: www.cfl.ca/plus/
The text highligts how hard it is to watch NFL games consistently stating "Insane: in order for NFL fans to watch every football game next season you will need TEN different streaming subscriptions". A picture at the bottom shows a ginger haired white man (The NFL comissione) looking straight at the camera.
