It’s infrastructure more than anything else. I suggest you read more about street design and become an urbanist who lobbies for streetscape design to make bikers and pedestrians more visible. There’s a community of us. We can work together to stop all these accidents.

In cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, a scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection, experts said Photos of Jeffrey Epstein's cell show a scene of disarray that never underwent a proper inspection, according to experts.

While some experts questioned federal investigators' treatment of the scene, forensic pathologist Judy Melinek, who used to work at the New York City Medical Examiner's office, said her former employer appears to have handled the case by the book.

"Brent Chapman can see again after doctors pulled out one of his teeth, flattened it, drilled a hole in it, placed a lens inside and implanted the tooth in one of his eyes."

Gun violence is an American scourge and the obvious solution is regulation of weapons of war, like in other countries. You don’t need a sniper rifle. And if you tell me it’s people not guns who kill people, fine, then stop selling weapons to violent people. Do something.

The brilliant @lmbd1418.bsky.social has suggested people write to the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper re: my case. If you could spare five minutes, she's created a draft letter which you can use to send to coopery@parliament.uk. I appreciate everyone's support. ❀️

I had to step away from the computer for a few hours to clear my head. I came back to a slew of messages from people saying that they've written to the Home Secretary on my behalf. My goodness! Bluesky! You really come through for people at their lowest moments. Thank you for everything. πŸ’™

That was a great book club! I’m so excited when we can meet readers and discuss our books. With nonfiction there’s less of a concern for spoilers as with detective novels. It was great to see you. I hope everything gets sorted out for you soon.
