From toronto.ca website: BIKE BOX Bike boxes are used at intersections to designate a space for cyclists to wait in front of cars at the red light. At red lights, the drivers must stop at the stop line, behind the bike box. A bike box means right hand turns on red lights are not permitted.

YOUR CLOSEST NEIGHBORHOOD American Baptist Churches USA the historic Northern Baptists • national, Northern-heritage MAINLINE BAPTIST Your taste lives in the historic Northern Baptist neighborhood, the mainline cousin of the SBC, founded out of the abolitionist split before the Civil War, generally more moderate to progressive on social questions, culturally Baptist in its congregationalism and its preaching tradition without the Southern political profile. The cultural neighbors are people who hold a Baptist conviction inside a broadly mainline cultural frame.

Where to start. OK Trump is in the middle. Wearing Jesus robes. He’s got a glowing orb in his hand and he’s healing a sick man in front of him. The sick man is in a hospital bed, and around him are a nurse, a military guy, some people praying. In the background is a flag, an eagle, Statue of Liberty, some army plane things, and then circled in yellow are figures in the sky that… I don’t know what they are. They’ve got horns or something. I don’t know. I think they’re supposed to be military people, but the AI didn’t get them quite right.

Sarah Kendzior 27m Subscribe I was suspended from BlueSky for defending the honor of Johnny Cash. I wish I were joking. In early October, I referenced the "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" lyric of "Folsom Prison Blues" in response to a terrible Wall Street Journal article saying that Johnny Cash was uncool. I quote-tweeted the article and everyone understood the reference. There was no outcry. I stand by my assessment that Johnny Cash is cool. I do not like being the subject of so much attention, especially when I cannot see the discussion. But the BlueSky admins are now claiming that I wrote a post saying, out of nowhere, "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die". They are not posting a screenshot of the actual tweet, which shows that I am quote-tweeting an article about Johnny Cash, and that my post is obviously not a threat but a play on "Folsom Prison Blues."

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. "There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. "If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice! "Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity." Text followed by image of man standing behind desk, in amazing home library. We can see two full walls of books. I’m so jealous.

A math book open on a bed, partially blocked by a grey (or brown, if you’re my kid and you like being wrong) tabby cat who is lying on her back and looking at the camera with a “come hither” look, which in cat means “rub my belly”.

Screenshot from Libby. Text in red says “read to borrow!” The bold text says “Midnight Riot” and then there’s a thumbnail of the book “Rivers of London” (with “also known as Midnight Right” noted in a black oval). I’m not sure what’s happening in the image. It’s almost like a map of a city done in red and then there’s a river coming out of it that turns into the title of the book. I thought it was yarn at first, but that’s just cause I’m a knitter and I think everything is yarn. Author is Ben Aaronovitch.
Screenshot. The word “accidents” is highlighted in yellow (because I searched for the word accident to find this paragraph). • Improved pedestrian safety at intersections: The pedestrian has fewer directions to be concerned about at intersections involving one-way streets, and drivers have fewer potential conflicts to process (and can give more attention to pedestrian safety). Safety studies conducted from the 1930's to the 1970's of before and after conditions (as cities switched from two-way to one-way) consistently found that one-way streets had 10% to 20% lower accident rates than when previously two-way, and pedestrian accidents dropped by 30% to 60%. Counterpoint: At intersections of two-streets that are each two-way, pedestrians have an expectation of potential vehicular conflicts with their path as they cross the intersection. These expectations can be different at the intersection of one-way streets, which may create a less safe pedestrian environment.
