Real shame we canβt have passenger rights like the EU. Those have come in handy twice for me:
-once for storm delays in Philly (hotel + food)
-and another time they misplaced my bike bag in DFW so I missed my connection and got $800 credit.
Both happened because my trip started in the EU.

The Firewall Against Nick Fuentes Is Crumbling
The white-supremacist influencer is entering the MAGA mainstream.
America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-10 chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it is a nine-in-10 chance
βIf you get hit by a car travelling at 50km/h, youβve only got a 1.5-in-10 chance of surviving. If itβs going 30km/h youβve got a nine-in-10 chance.β
βBut it was not enough to put up a sign that says 30km/hβ¦there also needed to be design changes to slow down traffic.β
Speed is always a factor.

A graphic with an icon of the sun, a wiggly line denoting natural cycles, and a volcano, with a title reading "WHY is climate changing?" created by me. Not fancy, as my graphic design skills lean to function over art!
Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.
Could these be the real culprits?
The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.
