I actively try not to use company or product names for generic stuff—it's not an Uber, it's a taxi; it's not an Airbnb, it's a rental house. My face is not their billboard.
This is a remnant of growing up a 90s alt kid and despising visible brands on clothing.

the end of a year is like a sewer.
some see a past filled with crap and regret, foul memories of yesterdays flushed into darkness but not forgotten.
others see it as a transition to something better, a rush towards transformation. Renewal. Opportunity.
both true—
for sewers imitate life.

Good on @pbotinfo.bsky.social for data transparency in the context of inarguably crazy behavior behind the wheel. It's incredible that 3/4 of speeding violations happened in vehicles registered outside the metro area.

I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

All I want for Christmas is…a painting of a mouse riding a lobster.
Christmas cards during the Victorian Era tended to be rather unusual, reflecting an offbeat sense of humor before Christmas iconography had solidified into what it is today.

When people ride on the sidewalk it's because it feels more appropriate than the alternatives available.
Engineering solutions are always more effective than regulatory.

Toronto councillors want e-bikes, e-scooters off the sidewalk. Now, staff just need to figure out how to make it happen
A bid to help police impound electric scooters and bikes was softened Wednesday night. Now city staff can propose their own solutions.

While Spirit fights for its survival, it has found some time (and money) to deck out A320neo N628NK in a holiday sweater livery.
Nice.

someone tell the California ACLU who is disproportionately more likely to be killed in traffic accidents including those involving people under the influence
The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

There robust and objective statistical evidence that removing a lane, adding a speed camera, or installing a signaled crosswalk will save lives. And in poor, disadvantaged neighborhoods the lives save will likely be poor, disadvantaged children. But think of the dangerous drivers in that community!

Yeah I’m sorry, but this is indefensible and is *exactly* the kind of shit that people are talking about when they talk about non-profit/activist brainworms. And it’s causing real harm here! Minorities are more likely to be victims of drunk drivers as well!

the #BikeBus shows how safety in numbers gives kids the chance to ride, learn, and build confidence on streets that would not feel safe alone. Protected bike lanes, diverters, and street designs that separate children from cars are what make this joy possible every day, not just on Bike Bus days.

I can sympathize with some surveillance-related qualms about traffic cameras but I have a very hard time believing that morally they outweigh the enormous reduction of death and injuries they engender
