The message should be loud and clear: slow down on DC streets.

More from CM Allen on the OAG's first court judgment against a dangerous driver + 12 more lawsuits under the STEER ACT:

Rejoice! Carmakers Are Embracing Physical Buttons Again Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its sen...

Yay! Buttons & knobs forever.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

Every driver should absolutely #BuckleUp and put the #PhoneDown while driving

Hard to believe NHTSA data that shows distracted driving involved crashes decreasing as a percent of fatal crashes over the last decade www.datawrapper.de/_/CLCle/

The National Bike Summit is one of my favorite conferences every year. It’s so inspiring to talk to advocates across the country who are getting more people on bikes and making streets safer for all.

Cheers to a fantastic Day 1 of #BikeSummit25, and kudos to the amazing @bikeleague.bsky.social team

A lot of excellent testimonies at DC Council's hearing on local transportation issues today.

As always, @jlrhart.bsky.social's passionate testimony was a beacon of inspiration, advocating for action to make streets safer for our children and families after years of backsliding on Vision Zero goals.

Why some Bay Area blind people say Waymos are changing their lives Some sighted people say taking Waymos feels like a loss of control. Many blind people say the opposite.

“I call it ‘my ride, my car.' I don’t have to interact with anybody, it’s gonna take me basically where I want to go, when I want to go there, and it’s all about my choice and I’m not dependent on your eyes to see what’s around me.” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I’ve Brought Home Lamps From Japan and Italy. But This IKEA Globe Is My Favorite. My IKEA globe lamp sits on my TV console, but it’d look great atop a side table, nestled on a shelf, and even in the kitchen.

Wirecutter just wrote an ode to my favorite lamp.

I love the IKEA orb lamp *almost* as much as all of my lava lamps (that’s a lot)

Dutifully making alt text for every picture genuinely made me a better descriptive writer. Not only is it inclusive, I can't recommend it enough for dumbass cartoon people like me who otherwise couldn't be bothered to practice their writing.

Scene: my 2 y/o stares at bookshelf packed with CDs at in-laws’ house:

>pulls case off shelf

“it’s a book!”

> opens case, stares at plastic wafer

“I don’t like this one!”

> closes case, flings back

One day he’ll be collecting these and telling us the fidelity is so much higher than holodiscs

If it doesn’t exist on this app, someone should make a thread of all the European plazas that used to be filled with parked cars

DC Councilmember Charles Allen builds on Metro GM Randy Clarke’s call for a unified regional vision for transportation in the DMV, emphasizing the need for local leaders to advocate for the critical investments in the systems that support our communities, families, and businesses.

Fantastic presentation by Randy Clarke at the Capital Region Transportation Forum this morning.

WMATA is the jewel in the DMV’s crown. Amazing numbers for post-Covid recovery, crime and fare evasion down, steady ridership growth.

<3 Metro. Keep up the amazing work, y’all.
