Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!
It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.
It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

There is no astronomical reason for daylight saving time but there are good arguments against it. We hope to see a day when we revert to standard time year 'round. In the mean time, remember to set your clocks *ahead* one hour tonight and read Mark Boslough's excellent thread ⬇️
“Fall back” is standard time, which is also known as astronomical time or natural time and has been the standard since sundials were invented (therefore “standard” time). 12 o’clock was arbitrarily defined as astronomical noon, when the sun crossed the local meridian.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.
These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Los Angeles fires…
In 1816 when Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein there was no summer cause a volcano erupted and ash clouded the sky.
I always wondered what that would look like and waking up this morning I now know..
The sky is black at 9am.
It’s terrifying, yet mesmerizing.
Stay safe LA.

The National Weather Service radar in Cleveland has been offline for many hours now, the only notice we've seen is, "until further notice". We wonder what happened! There's lake effect snow activity to track so we doubt it's routine maintenance. #ohwx
