Cyclists should be able to treat a stop sign as a yield sign and a red light as a stop sign.
Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights. Here’s why

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

This is quite brilliantly written. A far better piece of journalism than anything you will find in the NYT
I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd
