Two brothers in town for their sisters' wedding were killed while riding bikes last night. One is an NHL hockey star. Fuck cars. Also, sorry for linking TMZ, it's more detailed than the SI article.

Some features I thought were worth mentioning:

• Bikes, trams and trains are all included
• You can import map data from OSM
• Seems like Linux will be supported

This game is basically all I was looking for in cities skylines 2 and I thought I'd share it with y'all.

Trying to move to escape America's car-centric hell. The Netherlands is pretty high on the list but I wanted to explore other options. How do the following countries and their cities fair in terms of urbanism:

-Ireland

-Spain

-Belgium

-France

-Denmark

-Portugal

-Sweden

I could list more but I'll be here all night.

The menstrual product ad trope of a jubilant woman going rock climbing or bungee jumping or doing athletic feats is associated with the 1980s, but it's in fact way older than that. This menstrual product ad from the late 19th century shows a very jubilant woman going cycling.

The pads in the advert, which apparently help you cycle around dressed like a triumphant Roman, include "pasteurised peat". Peat moss, also known as sphagnum, was a popular choice for homemade menstrual pads as the moss can absorb up to 20 times its weight in moisture.

Concise, easy to understand, and accurate. I have used it at least a dozen times and it is remarkable how well it works.

Also—

"A bus is about twice as long as a car so it only needs to have four to six passengers on board to be more efficient than two cars."

Also, even though I originally found the video on youtube, I posted the peer-tube version, because lets support the fediverse!

Some of their complain is really unhinged.

We asked everyone outside a car to be safe so that drivers can be dangerous
