Another day, another driver ruining things for hundreds (thousands?) of train passengers. www.audacy.com/wwjnewsradio...
Oh look, a single driver messing things up for hundreds of train passengers! It must be a Wednesday. (Side bonus ragebait: in order to get traffic flowing again, they moved the car so it's blocking the sidewalk instead. Anything for more vroom!)
It's things like this that make me call people who oppose bike lanes "pro-global warming activists."
“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

More than three decades after the end of apartheid, families of victims of some of the worst crimes of South Africa's past are still fighting for justice. As survivors and perpetrators grow older, a new wave of legal efforts is seeking truth, accountability and reparations before it's too late.
And this, #a2council folks, is yet another example of why A2PP's misleading statements are harmful not only to Ann Arbor, but to municipal power in Michigan altogether. They inspire people who know nothing about the serious problems with Prop E to make lazy, misinformed quips.
And in that spirit, I'll do you one better about prop E: The strongest argument I have heard for it comes from Jess Letaw in the latest episode of Ann Arbor AF: annarboraf.com/episode-86-g...

Trump fucked up the *American* renewable transition but he might have had the largest positive effect on the global transition of any president ever
President Trump’s war on Iran, now in its seventh month, has led to a plunge in the consumption of oil and gas around the world as fighting disrupts production and transportation. https://wapo.st/4ycPvNA
