Google Ngram Viewer shows the phrase in use for a long time, always in whiny ways. I have a huge archive of media from the early years of Critical Mass and it didn't show up then!

It was modest bike lane projects (0.46% of the SFMTA's budget at the time) which prompted #WarOnCars headlines. 2/2

Many of you have heard how the #maha crowd are trying to kill children by ending childhood vaccination, www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The American politics of cars means they also want drivers to kill children. The #waroncars is for anyone who wants to protect children from them. 1/n
U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

[Original post on mastodon.social]
The court was shown dashcam footage taken from the defendant's car showing the attack. Mr Greaney warned the court: "What we are about to display on the screens is truly shocking." There were audible gasps in the courtroom as the footage played. Doyle could be heard repeatedly shouting at pedestrians to "move out the f**** way" as he drove through crowds. Consistently using his vehicle's horn, people could be seen trying to jump out of the way, with some forced on to the bonnet of the car. "press pre Doyle shouts as the footage continues. By the end of the footage, people begin to attempt to run up to the vehicle. When the car stops, one man shouts, "get the f** out of the car".

This is a good thread about glass and birds.

Also, reminder that the most important change to our built environment for saving birds is winning the #waroncars

From @edyong209.bsky.social 's An Immense World
In 2012, Jesse Barber, Heidi Ware, and Christopher McClure built a phantom road. On a ridge in Idaho that acts as a stopover for migrating birds, the team set up a half-mile corridor of speakers and played looped recordings of passing cars. At the sound of these disembodied noises, a third of the usual birds stayed away. Many of those that stayed paid a price for persisting. With tires and horns drowning out the sounds of predators, the birds spent more time looking for danger and less time looking for food. They put on less weight, and w were weaker as they continued their arduous migrations. The phantom road exper- iment was pivotal in showing that wildlife could be deterred by noise and noise alone, detached from the sight of vehicles or the stench of exhaust. Hundreds of studies have come to similar conclusions.*

They're a scourge to car owners in the west of Munich where I grew up. Last one I saw one was near my mother's place looking at me from the bonnet of a car, undoubtedly having disabled it. 👊

Kia Rio???

cool site though. A little digression while looking into car insurance for something I'm writing. LMK if you have anything insurance related you think is underappreciated in the #waroncars space.

Ranking of the car models that have the highest frequency of bodily injury liability claims. Did not expect to see a Kia Rio there.
