First they came for the trees and I did not speak out because I was not a tree (texasmonthly.com/burka-blog/abb…) Then they came for our children... (cnn.com/2021/08/16/us/…)

We want LeVar Burton to host Jeopardy for the same reason we venerate Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers, and the same reason the show Ted Lasso is so popular. Our culture yearns for, and desperately needs, men who are kind and gentle, and who will teach that by example.

Isn't that like 95% of all jobs?!?

Wait, does this mean we're getting a real life Westworld?!?

Imagine having enough money to spend on a billboard and thinking the best thing to do is chide kids for walking, instead of reminding adults in multi-ton cars of their legal obligations.

Guys really, trust me on this one, I’ve been researching/doing the math for ~ 25 years. You can’t solve cars with cars. Not electric ones, not robot ones - no version of car provides a solution to problem of car. Only not-car solves cars. There are tons of not-car solutions!

I understand why people get upset with speed cameras. It's because they break our implicit socal contract that it's okay to speed as long it's only 5-10 mph over the limit. That's also why car crashes are a leading cause of death. It's time for new contract. #VisionZero

The economic cost of 2021 traffic crashes in the City of Denton was approximately $166 million.

Shrinkflation? Is it just me or did Jimmy Dean make my breakfast sandwich smaller without changing the wrapper?

Cars kill over 1.3 million people every year, and we somehow accept this as the cost of doing business. If airplanes killed 1.3M people a year, we would ground all airplanes until we figure out what went wrong. So why do we accept such horrifying outcomes with cars?

NEW: Exxon-Mobil and Chevron raked in massive first quarter profits— Chevron took in $6.3 billion, quadrupling its profit from this time last year, while Exxon took in $5.5 billion, more than double last year’s profit.

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.” — @mortenkabell
