The cat just went over to the HomePod mini on my desk, meowed at it, and Siri said "sure here is some music for you" and the cat perched on the window sill listening to Garbage and Elliott Smith.

I just want to know how long this has been going on.

Cyclists are portrayed in debates about bike lanes as younger, athletic people. Berkeley's Commission on Aging recommended against supporting the city's current bike lane project (#Hopkins), apparently thinking bike lanes were not for older people.

And yet, over the past eleven years, the median age of the six cyclists and pedestrians severely injured or killed on Hopkins is 69. Only one of those people was under 50. The oldest was 78.

The stereotypes are wrong.

#Berkeley #BikeTooter

I really want to learn more about the retrospective process used after traffic crashes in the Netherlands/Sweden/Finland +elsewhere. I keep hearing this practice referenced and don't see it explained in detail.

This is a presumption on my part, but when #BikeTooter / #RoadSafety people say, "If the Dutch aren't doing it, you shouldn't be either," my assumption is that it's because their practices evolved from dedicated study of crashes and failures. I want that here, too!
