“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

Let’s not pretend that for most people, owning a car isn’t anything other than a lifestyle choice. By all means own a car, but don’t pretend you really “need” it; and go lightly, in full awareness of the impact of your choice on the people around you.

Australia’s biggest gas project greenlit to 2070 with ‘partial’ protection for Indigenous rock art
Environment minister Murray Watt says he’s confident new conditions imposed on the North West Shelf gas project extension will ‘protect jobs … and protect the rock art’
The Albanese government has approved an extension to 2070 of one of the world’s biggest gas export projects, saying it has agreed conditions to protect more than a million pieces of ancient World Heritage-listed Indigenous rock art that sit next door.
Climate campaigners have described Woodside’s North West Shelf extension as a “carbon bomb” that was incompatible with global climate goals. Continue reading...

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza.
It said it was starving Gaza over and over again.
It has done so systematically - with the full complicity of the West.

Exactly.
never seen a more basic morality test than what's happening in Gaza. are you for carpet bombing kids or are you against it. are you for systemically starving ppl or are you against it. if you can't draw the line at that, why should I expect you to draw the line at anything else.

Remember this? “Paris voters opted in a referendum to close 500 more city streets to cars, making way for pedestrians, bikers & greenery. The plan…will expand on a green push by Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social that has already seen 300 streets planted and cleared of cars since 2020.”
