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

White people stop electing white supremacists challenge: [[Doable, you fucks]]

@ScruffyJunco @luckytran

Two of my vaccination appointments ended up being my highest risk Covid exposures of the pandemic. In one case, a sick family with racking coughs came into a very small doc in the box office not wearing masks despite a sign on the door saying to stay outside and ring a buzzer to be supplied with masks. Two of them were confirmed Covid+ while I was there in a front office smaller than a parking space. Very glad for the N100 I was wearing that day.

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.
