I'm thinking the vehicle was not the only issue in the marriage...

I continue to be amazed at how passive the majority of Americans are as their democracy implodes.

If we're repeating quotes: "However, if we look at pedestrian deaths by model of car, we see that pedestrian deaths involving popular sedans have increased as well. Pedestrian deaths involving Honda Civics and Accords, Toyota Corollas and Camrys, and Nissan Altimas have all increased substantially."

"..the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths." is a cherry-picked sentence. You could argue that collisions are causing more severe injuries because distracted drivers/peds make no attempt to avoid the collision (full on hit as opposed to glancing blow).

"However, if we look at pedestrian deaths by model of car, we see that pedestrian deaths involving popular sedans have increased as well. Pedestrian deaths involving Honda Civics and Accords, Toyota Corollas and Camrys, and Nissan Altimas have all increased substantially."

I gave up owning a car about 10 years ago due to the walkabiliity of the area and excellent public transit, but in a lot of these cases, I'm on the driver's side. Like, what the hell are you doing, walking between two parked cars and stepping out into the road?

Good job cherry-picking.

"However, if we look at pedestrian deaths by model of car, we see that pedestrian deaths involving popular sedans have increased as well. Pedestrian deaths involving Honda Civics and Accords, Toyota Corollas and Camrys, and Nissan Altimas have all increased substantially."

This. I live in a walkable urban area with dense traffic and the number of distracted people basically jaywalking is astounding.

Cute sea otter in teal water holding a pastel-swirled cupcake under glittery ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY!’ text with confetti sprinkles.

Happy Birthdays @dunnewriting.bsky.social and @admiralk.bsky.social !

Jays got it done. 👍

Tell the Habs?

You're supposed to lob zingers at @captmediocre.bsky.social, not me!

But the Jays' implosion yesterday was very Leafesque.

This turned not fun very, very fast

I am not happy

Aaaaaaaaaaargh

You get the feeling that Jays pitchers will keep things interesting even if the offence scores 15 runs.

My Email to Tim Cook It's once again time for Apple's CEO to deliver action as lofty as his language

Good point here. Apple told the Biden government to shove their court case in 2016 but bent over backwards to make the fascists currently in power happy. I guess, "Fuck You, Make Me" is only said to one party.

Thank you, Michael! Best of luck to your Wings and Captain, may the Habs' previous season be the high-water mark of their current rebuild.

How does it feel, doing your part in sanewashing this stuff?

YA THINK??!

Never seen a pitcher yanked while carrying a no-hitter

Was there on June 3, 1989 for opening day. Probably still have the plushie they gave away packed up somewhere.
