The role of cars in our society results in a uniquely American way that state violence is enacted and justified. Renee Good is just the most recent.
If you work in any area of engineering, planning, or public admin, what we do is relevant to our current historical moment, whether we like it or not.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

You know the whole technique of moving where you leave things in boxes for years, and then get rid of the contents when you demonstrate you didn't need the stuff inside?
I'm doing that with un-cataloged stuff on shelves in my office. Goodbye random print out from 2009!

Just cleaned out a desk drawer, dumping conference travel documentation from 2013, a bunch of TRB committee stuff, and a stack of papers that I read a long time ago.
Now I can ignore the drawer for another year.

Just watched an episode of Murder She Wrote where a librarian at the university library said she couldn’t tell Jessica who checked out a book, but then let her look at the circulation history on the screen.
It had names with the circulation history! Oh the outrage!

Some people think science is just for nerds, but science is the foundation of the modern world and science is what made America great.
Even though many of us don’t work directly in space science, we were inspired to become scientists by NASA. Destroying it makes zero sense.

This is a pamphlet Pat Brown made when he was SF District attorney in 1949. He was very proud of it many years later.
I think I might make most of the prints without attribution.

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?!
Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

I am so happy Strawberry Creek Park is getting the recognition it deserves, but since its glow up the situation for walking and biking around the park has gotten worse. So many people driving to the park and forgetting it’s a part of a neighborhood.
Once part of a railroad route, the three-block-long park is now a weekend destination for those living well beyond Berkeley's Poet’s Corner.
Strawberry Creek Park is West Berkeley’s hidden gem to picnic, sunbathe and splash

Incredibly, not one of these milestones scores as a “win” using the traffic engineering metrics that quietly dictate city planning.
Urban planning prof Jonathan Levine and I have one paper detailing why and another explaining why it has to change for any vision of abundance to succeed. Links below.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.
