My biggest pet peeve on the bike is drivers who don’t signal their turns. I’m trying not to get killed on the road and a big part of that is riding defensively and anticipating what drivers will do. It’s easier when they signal their intentions.
What's the best nonverbal gesture for "use your turn signals"? This is the best I got, but I'm not sure it's being understood.

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"

There are things that shouldn't be in private control, and water is one of them.
In East Maui, Hawaiʻi, a decision is pending on whether to grant a 30-year water license to a private Canadian company whose predecessors have a long history of devastating the ecosystem or give control to the county.

East Maui Water Fight Returns To State Land Board
The battle over who controls one of the island's major water sources — a foreign company or a county board — appears headed to a contested case hearing.

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?
Sure, Jan.

First, the federal government getting its economic data from DoorDash is a bit alarming.
Second, people who use DoorDash pay an average of $63 for a meal from McDonald's. Sort of an odd place to look to gauge sensitivity to the cost of food.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

With flights being cancelled all across the country one can only dream how it would be if we would have a decent high speed train network. At times the TSA lines at IAH were twice the time it would take the proposed Shinkansen-style train from Houston to Dallas.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
