I asked FHWA engineers why they looked at what we do with railroad crossings and said *let's do that for pedestrians but make it opposite*. I was told it's because that's how it was proposed in the experiment.

I don't think I've ever seen this either.. It's supposedly still there so now I have to go take a look.

Coyote vs. Acme is hopefully the spiritual sibling to Bob Hoskins' masterpiece, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I'm so looking forward to it. Glad it has so far avoided the chopping block.

Second measles death reported in Texas HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was expected to attend the child’s funeral, which is scheduled for Sunday.

Just another disturbing story from 2025. If COVID was an external threat and its response was bad. Can't have high hopes about an internal threat to the country.. just awful. Again, 2025 and measles is breaking out..? #wtf

ICYMI: USDOT is "reviewing" [meaning: attempting to take back] all funding awards for projects that include any bike infrastructure [among other things!] that were funded by the Biden admin but which haven't yet received their grants.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Tremendous risk: EPA & NOAA staff canned. FEMA on chop block. Next Appalachian disaster will be a humanitarian crisis Kentucky isn't prepared for. Fed $$ drying up & extreme weather are not slowing in frequency nor intensity. If Rainfall Atlas updates stop, we aren't designing for the future either.

... Change all your passwords and make sure they are unique. Enable 2FA on everything. Don't mark any computer, tablet, or cell phone as a 'remembered' or 'private device' so you never skip the 2FA. 🫣🤦

Those last two lines are scathing.

Making the wrong kind of splash: headlines not real help.
