Looks like my town. Next to no attention to clearing sidewalks, even by businesses, churches, parks, etc.

A large signalized intersection of a stroad, where the snow has been cleared from the road down to bare asphalt, and the places where people are supposed to walk are piles of slush and ice that people have had to walk through.

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”
Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

I remember reading this when the book came out and thinking "Nah, way too pessimistic".
Now the incoming US Health Secretary doesn't think HIV causes AIDS.
4 people on bikes riding in a contraflow lane with a driver in a white car about to cross it making a left.
Years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV.
Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure.
This is how those fresh and fragrant bundled herbs like parsley get to your grocery store. Workers spend 8 hours a day on their knees harvesting this crop that is used in our #Thanksgiving stuffing. #WeFeedYou

It's just pure hatred. Meanwhile, Dems are acting like this is about sports. More than 15k active duty troops could be immediately discharged. They could immediately lose all veterans and GI benefits depending on how they're discharged.

Road deaths have been the leading cause of child and young adult traumatic injury and death, by far, for decades. I understand we have to be nice to the people literally signing our death warrants who claim that they need “incentives” to implement known best practices. What approach do you suggest?
