Really curious on people’s participation in the peer review process.

How many research papers do you review annually on average?

Boston Mayor @wutrain is launching a cargo bike delivery pilot. This is what climate action and sustainable transportation leadership looks like 👏

San Francisco should have a similar program. San Franciscans deserve a leader who will make that a priority. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2023/08/15/wu-admin-announces-september-start-date-for-cargo-bike-delivery-pilot

No words necessary.

Remember that prosecutor #RonDeSantis fired? 'What American viewers weren’t told is that, behind the scenes, the governor’s office had quietly conspired with local sheriffs to tarnish the reputations of these democratically elected prosecutors—turning local cops against the state attorneys they’re supposed to partner with and trust." Oh, and the latest firing also short-circuited an investigation of abusive cops.

@wdlindsy Answering article title, Why? Because the gun lobby empowered by Republicans says “my freedom to tote lethal power Trumps you freedom to live, but I have plenty of “thoughts and prayers ready to throw at your feet with some faux tears and hope in the next life you’ll carry an assault rifle to get it on with, in Wild West America…” 🔥

Ron DeSantis must do better than simply say the white supremacist terrorist attack in Jacksonville was "Unacceptable." He must follow the lead of what NY Gov Hochul did after Buffalo Shooting and address gun violence and white supremacy.

I know the "reasonable and realistic" thing we do is let the sociopaths guide our way into the future but it's the youngest who'll deal with the worst consequences of all these bad choices.

Maybe listen to the kids.
Fun fact: They mostly agree with scientists.

If you're going to Dragon*Con next weekend, or any con this season, I am absolutely BEGGING you to please wear a mask where- and whenever you can. Please.

@Huntn00 @Radical_EgoCom

I am just sick of being told we have to compromise when it comes to:
- Climate change
- Feeding children in poverty.
- Protecting the sick from bankruptcy.
- Investing in adult education for a skilled workforce.
- Increasing the value of labour so it returns more than the value of risk taking.

While trillions in subsidies are signed to Halliburton etc for some shareholder payday.

This is not the compromise I am interested in.

Please don't lump me in with "liberals".
