Earlier article about Kim:

An initial investigation revealed that the truck and the bicycle were traveling in the same direction on Mount Auburn Street and the truck was turning onto DeWolf Street at the time of the crash.

And from the posted article:

On Friday, Nguyen and the truck driver were both traveling in the same direction along Hampshire Street when the driver made a right turn onto Portland Street, striking Nguyen at the intersection, according to the Middlesex district attorney’s office.

Yes bike lanes, ideally separated so nobody can park on them. I wish police would ticket for turning without signaling. Dream works is transit designed around bikes and trains; adding bike areas to a car centered design will always produce hazards.

Also please never ride next to a truck.

So each universe just contains a simulation of all of the worst, most generic parts of itself, recreated by AIs, recursively? We’re the gods of a new universe being born that’s just social media bots posting for each other.

funds that Israel must use to purchase U.S. military equipment and services

Oooh, I see. Free tax money for the MIC.

Thankfully electrek.co has the uncensored version.

The article doesn’t say if it would prevent those “really, I’m not disposable!” extra heavy but still disposable plastic bags.

The bill also includes a provision that would require restaurants to include plastic utensils in take-out orders only upon request

That’s good though!

I wonder how it was sealed. Is glazed ceramic + wax that airtight? The article (nor many very similar ones from other sites) doesn’t give specifics.

I guess if you’re hanging on to your Tesla stock at this point you must have some faith in Musk?

Good that a .gov site explains it so clearly. I’m kind of surprised they can be that forthright without them being actually illegal.

Just being forced to talk about how it’s going and what’s blocking can be helpful, so I’m glad you’re questioning for to be more useful, not doing a little rubber-ducking isn’t all bad.

Different bridges over Storrow are slightly different heights. One time I rented a UHaul, got on under a bar that I cleared and went under one bridge, and then had to make a hasty last second exit before the next bridge which was lower.

Oof.

It would help if the hanging bars were actually the same height as the lowest bridges though.

Neat, I would love to see this succeed and expand.

Is she carrying a hatchet?

This biography quotes a description:

armed entirely in white, exept, for the head, a little ax in her hand, seated on a great black courser.

So Vullo encouraged many insurers to cut off ties with the NRA at the very moment that she was pursuing a major investigation into three companies that did business with the NRA. And she allegedly offered to shield one company from additional liability if it took further actions against the gun organization.

As Sotomayor’s opinion explains, that’s not allowed.

Perhaps because the opinion is written by Sotomayor, and not by a more right-wing justice who may be eager to use the state of New York’s blundering treatment of the NRA as an excuse to shut down legitimate enforcement actions against the gun group, the Court’s decision also includes some language ensuring that the investigation into Carry Guard remains valid.

Interesting nuance and reminder to not get carried away with punitive justice even when wielding the law against someone deserving.

Wow, how incredibly brave.

Although this sounds egregious, the more I read about dentistry the less it sounds reliable in any form. The Atlantic wrote about it a while back and Ars Technica did more recently.

If anyone has found a more evidence-based dentist in the Boston area I’d be interested to hear about them.

Wikipedia says

Scalping was not in itself fatal, though it was most commonly inflicted on the gravely wounded or the dead.

Still, one of many reasons I am glad to live in the time period and country I do. Though also a reminder of how close in our history America is to genocide:

on August 8, 1722, Massachusetts put a bounty on native families, paying 100 pounds sterling for the scalps of male Indians aged 12 and over, and 50 pounds sterling for women and children.

He exited the hotel at 2037 hours. At 2045 hours, his truck was observed backing into the parking space where it was later discovered. Video surveillance recordings continuously record his vehicle. Throughout the review of surveillance video spanning the evening of March 8th through the morning of March 9th, from the time the vehicle was backed into the parking space until the Charleston Fire Department gained entry to the vehicle, no other individuals were seen entering or exiting Mr. Barnett’s vehicle. At no time did anyone engage or try to make contact with Mr. Barnett.

“I think we are headed for major societal disruption within the next five years,” Gretta Pecl of the University of Tasmania told The Guardian. “[Authorities] will be overwhelmed by extreme event after extreme event, food production will be disrupted. I could not feel greater despair over the future.”

But, reason to keep fighting:

Others found hope in the climate activism and awareness of younger generations, and in the finding that each extra tenth of a degree of warming avoided protects 140 million people from extreme temperatures.
