Think about a pedestrian/cyclist being hit by a car: the person with the lowest carbon footprint, space use, noise and pollution production hit by a high carbon, space-guzzling, noisy and polluting box of metal.

Roads are for people, not for cars - cars have their uses, but that does not imply that the whole system should be built to satisfy their merest whim.

So well done Wales for making 20mph the default speed limit in residential/built-up areas.

Better bicycle infrastructure is a must!

Let’s break the cycle! Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) does not cause hay fever and is unlikely to cause allergies. They are insect-pollinated and have heavy, sticky pollen that does not travel well in the air. Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is one of the worst irritants for allergy sufferers since it's primarily wind-pollinated. Both goldenrods and ragweeds bloom at the same time, but their flowers are very different (goldenrods are yellow, and ragweed are green).

That’s too bad. It will come back next year though. Put in in your garden.

People are making a big deal out of Trump's self-reported height and weight, but the other stats he tried to submit during his arrest are absolutely wild:

Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 215 lbs
Age: 36
Hair: very real
Intellect: big brain
Skin: radiant, flawless, possibly bulletproof
Strength: equivalent to five buffalo in their prime
Speed: white Usain Bolt
Hand Size: bigger than yours
Virgin: never

  1. You left out the racist Republicans.
  2. This taxonomy is meaningless when they all support a fascist.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis goes full “Michael Corleone” on Trump and his co-conspirators—and it’s beautiful! With one indictment against Trump and 18 of his criminal allies, she “settled all family business.” My new article: https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/fulton-county-da-fani-willis-goes
