I haven’t seen it illustrated like this before. Very effective messaging. Of course it actually depends a lot on how fast the vehicle’s being driven, how big the vehicle is and how it’s designed, and how small the victims (too often kids) are. Via @yegbike.bsky.social #SpeedKills #CarBloat

This is purely anecdotal, all artisanal data from yours truly, but kids today seem way overscheduled and yet are often not allowed to just... hang out with friends and be bored and whatever. It feels like kids are more controlled and wrangled and kept "protected." So this kinda tracks? YMMV.
"Children want to meet up in person, no screens or supervision. But because so many parents restrict their ability to socialize in the real world on their own, kids resort to the one thing that allows them 2 hang out with no adults hovering: their phones"

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Tour de France finishing line race officials are now getting over enthusiastic about tackling people at the end of the stage. We've had two legit rugby tackles but today's incident was too much - nearly knocking the yellow jersey and world champion off his bike!!

It's so fabulously amazing what humans can do when they collaborate. Brutalizing immigrants is the dumbest stuff I could expect to see, loved by simple men with dark hearts. This scientific endeavour fills me with hope that one day, we might even understand ourselves and how/why we are manipulated
Using new adaptive-optics techniques, researchers have created ultra-high resolution images of the Sun's corona--and the results are astonishing.

Guys. Want to be friends with women? The central advice in the article is really sound. Talk to them, ask questions, offer pleasant and sincere compliments. Be kind. I've seen so many ladies almost weeping into their drinks glasses, at another guy banging on about how great he is. Listen, care more.
I know of several boys in my kids' circles who are obsessed with gym because they think you have to absolutely shredded to stand any chance of getting a girlfriend.
Very much blame the Andrew Tate tendency and hope they see this.
