Paris now has 180 gorgeous ‘school streets.’ They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. No brainer, really.

THEY STILL HAVEN’T SEARCHED THE LANDFILL. Wait, so idiot billionaires can do stupid things like search for a wreckage and the whole world is watching but Indigenous women in Winnipeg get murdered and the police won’t even search a landfill for their bodies

Take 10 red cards and 10 black cards. Shuffle them and make a pile of 6 and a pile of 14 cards. Count the red cards in the small pile & the black cards in the big pile. Repeat several times. What do you notice about the two counts each time? Why so?
