Chappell out here chewing gum and talking about a living wage. The best.

So, there are many worthy contenders for album of the year, but for the record, I’m rooting for Charli

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

We need Democrats & the media to have the energy & effectiveness of Kendrick going after Drake and what they have is the energy & effectiveness of Drake going after Kendrick

New report concludes that Right-on Red is deadly: ROR "is generally unsafe for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers." "Right-turn collisions at signalized intersections were responsible for over 39k collisions and 217 fatalities between 2011–2022 in California." transweb.sjsu.edu/sites/defaul...

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960. Until today.

🚧 Traffic calming design strategies are used to reduce vehicle speeds & make walking and cycling safer in urban areas. Applications include speed bumps, roundabouts, narrowed roads, curb extensions & other physical changes to streets that passively slow traffic. #trafficcalming

Bad faith lawsuits are coming for our preventive care. “This outcome could threaten access to a host of preventive services … including many types of cancer screenings, drugs to prevent HIV, vaccines, and services recommended specifically for women and children.”

Alex Ross gets an essay’s worth of fascinating words out of the last 35 bars of Shostakovich 5:

NEW: Georgia officials have dismissed all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women. The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths.
