I almost got hit by a driver in front of my neighborhood’s elementary school. He didn’t stop as he was exiting the school property despite a tight turn and big stop sign. I’m of course in favor of all traffic calming we can do, but how do we get dangerous drivers to give a damn about pedestrians?

A couple of days ago, my 10yo asked me if naturalized citizens could have their citizenship revoked. Because a friend in his class was worried. I didn't know the word "naturalized" when I was 10. I didn't know which classmates were and were not citizens. Because it didn't matter.

i think my academic employer’s refusal to provide indoor bike parking (e.g. in its very spacious underground parking garage) is premised on the claim that such storage poses a “fire hazard.”
