Very important point being made here. Urban areas are full of the unexpected (Tesla warnings ring out all the time). The pressure will surely come to make things simpler for automated vehicles ; or at least shift the blame/risk to the environment they operate in

Why do scientists study obscure things like Joshua trees? Because we don’t know what we don’t know. A Yellowstone hot spring microbe led to PCR, the technology behind cancer diagnostics, forensics, HIV tests, & more. Basic research leads to BIG SURPRISES that change the world. 🧪🧬🔬

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Glad to see @pulplibrarian.bsky.social is on here, another great thread
“Space is big. Really big,” as Douglas Adams observed. So why haven’t we seen any alien life yet?

Odds are a big universe must have some – or are the odds wrong? This is the Fermi Paradox, and today in pulp I’m looking at some of the novels that have explored it.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
