One of the great things about early Bsky is that we promoted the idea of engagement. That is, instead of follow for follow, we followed those who conversed with us. Engagement leads to connection. So please, let’s not lose that! Engage, not just like—that’s why I follow folks, myself!

i know this is a genuine problem but i really want to drop some off a rooftop to see if they bounce or splat or what
grease floats.
when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.
the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.
listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Maybe you can recall being a child, when one of your parents would say “I think somebody’s sleepy!” and nothing you could do would dispel the allegation. The President is dealing with that, except it’s millions of people going “I think somebody’s dying”

I think some people are confusing "poverty line" with "at what level of wealth/income do you need to be at to not get totally screwed by a health event or a major accident?" and the answer in the US is "very, very high"

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.
Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.
Cretin behavior.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Took my teen practice driving. Then picked mustard greens in the yard before coming in. A few hours later, couldn't find my keys. Spent an hour looking including going back to the parking lot where we switched drivers. Finally found them hanging from the pocket in which I store lids.
