"Travel lanes must be 12 ft wide because firetrucks need to be able to speed."
"Are drivers required to get out of the way of firetrucks?"

May Mel King’s memory continue to light a path forward towards resistance, solidarity and reimagining another world that is possible.
Mel King, Presente!
We are saddened to hear of the passing of our friend and comrade Mel King. Mel was a man of action. He was a community organizer through and through. He fought the system from a place of deep love of his community. He was born in and fought displacement in the South End. (🧵)

@NBCUniversal why is your company violating its permit by illegally blocking a 2 way bike lane - forcing bicyclists into oncoming traffic? Bicyclist deaths are at an all time high and you’ve been contributing to the increase for years.

This guy lives in Plymouth and is renting the house in Allston out.
The house in Allston, which he does not live in, would sell for $1.5 million according to Zillow, not enough to net $1 million in pure gain. #mapoli

Had a dream about color theory, where it was Very Important to get the two dimensions of "keeling" and "bias" correct. So I figure @datavizviolet must be tweaking graphs of CO2 levels, right?

5️⃣ days left to tell @NHTSAgov it needs to start evaluating the crash risk that trucks, SUVs, and cars pose to people *outside* the vehicle. Europe, Japan, and Australia have been doing this for years.
