Some fire stuff, some transport stuff, some climate stuff. Some other random science stuff. Probably too much of the one you’re not into.

Hello new followers!
Quick intro: currently working in (mostly) general science education, but prior to that focused more on fire, ecosystems & earth observation (all of which I remain interested in).
Also into sustainability, especially of transport, which inevitably leads to broader questions...

Decades of car-first planning have left our cities with traffic, pollution, and communities cut off from one another. But cities don’t have to be this way. By designing streets that put people first, we can create vibrant, healthy, and connected urban spaces.

Just because this shouldn’t be a surprise to ANYONE, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be absolutely outraged about this, & shouldn’t tolerate it for a second.

YouTube just terminated PlainSite's YouTube channel, which posted certain Epstein Files video directly as provided by the government, because doing so purportedly violated YouTube's "spam, deceptive practices and scams" policy.
For real. Providing the Epstein Files is a "scam" according to Google.
