Once you start noticing not just car crashes as movie tropes but also completely unnecessarily aggressive driving, even in kids films, you can’t unsee it.
In a less car-brained culture this stuff would be called out & at least contribute to movie/TV ratings. But it’s so common & unchallenged.

I watched Clint Eastwood's new film, Juror #2. It's ok.
It's a stunning illustration of how our culture justifies road violence. The protagonist kills someone in an SUV after looking at his phone but the film correctly presumes that most viewers are torn about a good man having a tragic accident.

• A London-New York return flight causes the melting of ~1,200 tons of ice (such as in the Arctic & Antarctic).
• Each day a person eats a meaty diet over a plant-based one causes the melting of ~1 ton of ice.

The violence in New Orleans is sickening. People walking deserve a right to safety. EVs are heavier than gas cars and can accelerate quicker, increasing the damage in crashes. But need to make streets safe for people, as @blakeshaffer.bsky.social, Max, & I said here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

People should see car violence (?) the same way as gun violence. And as the answer to gun violence is stricter gun control, then maybe the same works with cars.
So, what I want to say here is that I love bollards. Everyone should love bollards. Bollards everywhere.
