It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

Put another way, it’s not “Now do cars.” It’s a question of whether or not drivers are asked to take collective responsibility for the behavior of all other drivers in the way people ask of “cyclists.”

There's chatter about everyone's favorite Looney Tunes moments; Hard to decide what my funniest/favorite Looney Tunes moment is, but a few years ago I *DID* make a compilation of some--keyword, SOME-- of my favorite quotes, whether for writing or line delivery or what have you. Yes it's mostly Daffy

neat!

Surfing Alaska’s Turnagain Arm (home to a twice-daily tidal bore wave) can be fun (10-foot waves you can ride for miles) but also dangerous: “You need a Plan B, a Plan C and a Plan D because no one is coming to rescue you.” [nytimes.com]
