@SmallInsights @iamaroadtrip @JenKirkman It's amazing how insidious it is. Boys aren't taught 'smiling and satisfied,' they're taught how to coerce and trick. The woman's wants and needs aren't just secondary, they're not just ignored, they're actively seen as obstacles to overcome.

This is a huge win for urbanists and safe street advocates. Closing the "light truck emissions loophole" that has resulted in bigger, more deadly passenger cars for the last 20 years. If Trump is elected this gets reversed immediately.

@LoveCodeTrade 50mpg is easy to accomplish with just hybrids. That said, we have plenty of capacity at night to charge EVs and a flatter usage curve will make it easier to add base capacity.

@LilahTovMoon @DavidZipper All intersections are crosswalks. The curb cut is required by the ADA, a zebra pattern is not. Zebras teach drivers they don't have to stop for pedestrians unless there's zebras. In general I don't like zebras installed except as a zone to keep traffic clear at a stop sign/light.

@EmmaTolkin Tolkien was not at all clear what they were, the title was forced on him by the publisher. LOTR should be six volumes, untitled. The movie makes some sort of statement that is fine. Still amazing that they didn't change the title in the wake of 9/11.
