“Here’s what we found: Every additional 100kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality. Every additional 10cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality. The relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments.”

Big US-style trucks are killing more pedestrians in Australia – our research proves it

Pedestrians are more likely to be killed by heavier cars – and even more so if the vehicle is taller, Australian-first research has found.

its not trumpism that has failed imo, its that conservatism has failed or probably more honestly, has reached its natural end state

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 16h ago

On some level, I think a lot of Dems just aren't willing to say flat out that Trump and Trumpism have failed in a very profound way. Dems have internalized the idea that this is too much for voters to hear. That's the source of a lot of problems. It's needlessly self-constraining.

Find me one rich Republican who sent their kids to trade school This is about stuffing YOUR kids into the cheap labor pipeline to build THEIR kids McMansions at ever-lower wages

BASH: One of the things that's happening is there's a push to start students down a trade school track as early as elementary school. Is that too early? LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so BASH: But elementary school? McMAHON: I think you can have some introduction of skilled trades in elementary

So-called “express” buses on #northDLSD are stuck behind general car traffic today 😡 Public transit should be made fast, frequent, convenient and efficient if we want to encourage more folks to use it, this ain’t it

“More than a dozen data centers near O’Hare International Airport are receiving tens of millions of dollars in local property tax breaks this year, shifting the financial burden onto suburban homeowners even as local leaders tout the benefits of the explosive industry amid growing public backlash.”

Data centers near O’Hare win nearly $100M in local tax breaks, leaving suburban homeowners to cover the gap

Northwest suburban data centers had nearly $2 billion knocked off their taxable property values, an Illinois Answers Project/Chicago Tribune analysis shows.

If Obama, Biden or even George W. Bush had waited this long to go to Indiana, or lift a finger, to help, it would be a major story on every network newscast, every night, until the president Did Something. I'm glad outlets such as NYT are covering, but the silence from network TV is deafening

“Every day I’m crying,” Renita Theus, 41, said outside her darkened apartment, where her car remained trapped under a fallen tree. “It’s hot … I walked to the dollar store and they’re all out of candles and batteries.” "She lost her cleaning job in Chicago … because she was not able to travel."

An ICE agent directed Emilio, a Venezuelan Deaf man, to get onto a bus. He asked for an interpreter and didn’t get one. When he saw a Mexican flag, he realized he was being deported to Mexico, sans passport. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

How Trump’s deportation machine deprives Deaf people of their humanity

An extra layer of cruelty is added by limiting communication access for Deaf people.

This is the funniest shit. Florida allows religious exemptions for vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida: we require vaccines. Florida's attorney general, who is Catholic, is threatening to pull vouchers if they don't allow for religious exemptions The Bishops: separation of church & state

Catholic bishops remind attorney general about separation of church and state

“The government may not decide that Church teaching is insufficiently religious,” wrote the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Autopsies show how hard doctors tried to save babies who died after not getting a vitamin K shot: tubes inserted in their airways, blood transfusions. They’re excruciating to read because they underscore how preventable these deaths could have been. (Published May)

What I Can’t Forget About the Babies Who Died After Not Receiving a Vitamin K Shot

Babies have died after not receiving the vitamin K shot at birth. Their autopsy records underscore how preventable their deaths could have been.

Do any of these people remember the anti-smoking ads from the 2000s? Empathy is extremely important, but so is blunt truth. Being honest with anti-vaxxers is not mean, it’s just reality.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 6d ago

The media relentlessly promotes the narrative that progressives are too mean to anti-vaxxers and we must bring them around with compassion. This isn't true and isn't helping. The more public sympathy you show them, the more empowered they are in their beliefs. www.statnews.com/2026/08/19/s...

every week I say “there’s a zoning meeting I should go to!” or “oh look I should attend this political event” but by the time it actually rolls around I’m so exhausted and I need to make dinner and care for my child. here’s hoping I follow through tonight 😞
