“Wash, D.C. is a beautiful city that needs nobody to defend its good name; D.C. is no different from other cities in this amazing country. It’s full of hard-working people trying to look after their families & build better neighborhoods for their children” washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Children riding e-bikes were killed by motorists driving large vehicles on deadly infrastructure and the @nytimes calls them “e-bike accidents.” Which is a bit like calling a rash of school shootings “cafeteria accidents.” The danger on our roads is cars. nytimes.com/2023/07/29/hea…
Exploding costs, unaccountable expenses, grift and fraud. The case against #schoolvouchers is the one they make themselves once they become law. ktar.com/story/5520673/…

Love this! Are there links to any guidelines or plans, or is this all original? I might like to do something like this myself one day!

We figured out how to get the Ferris wheels moving. Changed positional servo that comes with kit to continuous servo & changed a few connectors. Hard work pays off. @strawbees @microbit_edu @MSMakeCode #CompSciNJ @CSTANewJersey @Cs4Nj
This painting has no brush strokes — it is made from over 2,000,000 individual dots of colour. And though this may look like nothing more than a sunny afternoon in Paris, it has a much darker hidden meaning...

Have you ever wondered why some cities are just so much nicer than others? Well, it's probably because they have good "Third Places." What is a Third Place? It's wherever you go when you're not at home or at work...
Highway 47 north of Hoven, SD (Pop. 376) is being resurfaced, widened, and replacing a few culverts to the tune of $15.8 million, or $40,721 per car that uses it each day. It's wild to me that projects like these are given rubber stamps while transit investment is scrutinized.
The fact that #schoolvouchers advocates won’t accept basic accountability to get a deal done is the tell: After racing 1998-2005 to set up early evaluations of small pilot versions they now oppose any oversight Why? They know the results from the last decade are horrific #pagov

Maybe your city has junk infrastructure like this and you want to inspire local leaders w/ options that save lives, save money, improve access, expand mobility freedom. You don't need a consultant study to pitch street improvements your city council ideas. 🧵
Investing in pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure not only increases safety, but also improves quality of life by connecting neighborhoods and promoting healthy living. The goal? Safe mobility in every Chicago community.
Newly completed improvements to Augusta Blvd are making the street safer for everyone: 🚶♀️Safer intersections & reduced pedestrian crossing distances 🚲Protected bike lanes, providing a low-stress connection to Milwaukee Ave 🚸Lower speed limit More here: chicago.gov/city/en/depts/…
Imagine you're in Dallas and your friend tells you they have an extra ticket to the Renaissance Tour tonight. You walk or take the bus to the bullet train, which gets you to Houston in under 90 minutes, and it will be there for you post-concert. That's freedom.
Walmart, whose Supercenters are notorious for taking up huge plots of land, has been quietly cutting the size of its parking lots for over a decade. On average, Supercenters are cutting back from 1,200 spots to 800 spots, and they have not faced any issues with parking or sales.
@teachbk Teachers put out lists like this because they know that maybe 1/2 the kids will bring them. So if they make the list extensive, they will get SOME of this stuff from SOME of their students. And then they have to pay for the rest.
@teachbk I don’t know what Duo Tang is, but folders w/ pockets/prongs were 15 cents at Target. Crayons were 50 cents. Flair pens and sticky notes can get expensive. At the end of the day, students need a variety of supplies. Schools should provide but they don’t. It’s hard.
