The speed limit is the maximum legal speed under ideal conditions. Dark of night is not ideal conditions. Drivers should drive *more slowly* at night.
"It's safe to drive significantly over the speed limit at night because there's hardly anyone around!" but also "It's not my fault if I hit a pedestrian or cyclist at night - they're hard to see so you can't stop in time."
EXTREMELY SPECIFIC GRIPE:
I don’t think I’ll ever get over my resentment of drivers who drive fast through neighborhoods in the dark.

See: “Developing road networks that brute-force driving as the only comfortable and convenient option.”
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

here's the thing, car drivers: as someone who also drives a car, I'm always conscious of being responsible if I hit someone. it's not "the gods", it's "you and me." and yeah, me having the right of way as a pedestrian IS something I take advantage of. it is in fact on you
A great example of #CarCulture.
We should all stay alert to each other while traveling. But: What kind of system would desensitize us to choosing “1000lb rolling death machine[s]” as our default travel option? How’d we come to expect more vulnerable ppl to accommodate us or else? #transportation

Being a communicator ADHD means my raw writing includes more nested parentheticals than your middle school PEMDAS unit math test and more runs-ons than a subway with a short boarding window. But on the other hand you will ALWAYS know I am not an AI.

This feels like an underappreciated problem:
"Of more than 700 locations sampled, 61% exceeded aquatic life thresholds set by the EPA...60% of samples blew past the accepted healthy drinking water standard."

High levels of road salt in Pa., N.J., Del. pollute streams months past winter
Road salt applied during winter storms runs off into the groundwater and emerges in surface water streams months later. Advocates say roads can be made safe with less salt.

There is no such thing as bicycle propaganda. It is exactly as much fun as you think. It makes you feel good. It is not hiding any of its challenges. It is terrible at highlighting all of its own upsides.
As a movement and industry it has never needed $100million ads to try to be convincing.

My nuclear hot take is that every car should have an interlock device, even with no history of DUI. No concerns about disparate applications or "wealth extraction".
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."

Hard to overstate this research’s value. Many ppl have genetic mutations. It’s been hard to test whether they may cause disease. My partner &his collabs are making tools to help significantly more ppl &their docs identify genes signaling future disease. The advance warning can save lives.
The effects of genetic variants primarily occur in differentiated cells meaning we need to access these cell types to measure variant effects for most disease genes. We developed saturation genome editing in stem cells (iPSC-SGE) to enable phenotyping in diverse genetic and cell contexts at scale!
