Check out these digital images by #KeithHaring that were recently found on a floppy disc in #TimothyLeary's archives. Haring created these images on an Amiga computer in 1987 for a project with Leary that never came to fruition. Luckily we all get to enjoy these images today.

This. Is. Amazing.

Montréal suburb has a school zone traffic light that only turns green when its camera detects a car driving under the speed limit.

The light is on a 90-day trial, on a 2-lane residential street. Similar signals are widespread in Europe.

Before installation, vehicles averaged 40 km/h. But in the past week, average speed has dropped to 29 km/h.

Breath fairly taken away by this note at the end of Washington Post article illustrating with 3D models the destruction caused by an AR-15’s bullets.

It’s not just theoretical. With autopsy reports and family consent, they use those 3D models to show us how Dylan Pozner (6) and Peter Wang (15) were killed. Thoughts and prayers can fuck themselves.

If you’re up to it, I think it’s useful knowledge, and here’s a gift link: https://wapo.st/3B5O47K
