Phones and screens generally are way underrated as a driver of the pedestrian death crisis in this country imo
This is a wild statistic (from IIHS, a very reputable research org):
"Cellphone use prior to crashes is undercounted in police reports by a factor of at least 7."
"Cellphone use prior to crashes is undercounted in police reports by a factor of at least 7."
Study shows police reports undercount cellphone use before crashes
Police usually fail to note drivers talking, texting or fiddling with their phones in crash reports, a new IIHS study shows.

Two cops in SF types the wrong license plate number into their patrol car's computer, arrested the wrong person for car theft. Then the SF DA's office spent a year prosecuting him before he ultimately killed himself.
A Driver’s Fatal Spiral After a Police Officer’s Typo
Police thought they had caught a car thief in San Francisco. Instead, they had mistyped his license plate number, a watchdog agency said, then arrested him with excessive force.

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

In 2020 we taxed the rich to raise the money to build social housing in SF. That should have started a period of collaboration to ramp up social housing. Instead, industry-aligned “moderate” pols who call themselves “pro-housing” refused to spend the money on housing and now seek to repeal the tax

I thought if all else failed, America at least came to realize racism is bad for business and that would prevent backsliding. But, nope.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids.
This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

This is literally establishing a second special code of law just for Alex Jones so he can do whatever he wants. What the fuck are we doing? How the fuck is this allowed?
some late-breaking news on @theonion.com’s quest to take over Infowars: A Texas appeals court just stayed the turnover of the site to the official who inked the agreement with an affiliate of The Onion. This puts the deal in bizarre legal limbo for now. More TK.
