@StillIRise1963 And don't forget that savory classic from 2016: "Russia, attack my opponent".
Heartbreaking story of Hind Rajab, a six year old girl, who frantically called for help after her family's Kia had been mangled by an Israeli tank. She was on the line for three hours as the Red Crescent tried in vain to get help to her. Then, she was shot and killed in cold blood. She was missing for 12 days before she was found. Her rescuers were shot and killed in cold blood. US military aid to Israel must end. Bibi must go. Hamas must go. https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/02/16/313485/

"Studies have shown that a mere 10% shift from car drivers to bike riders has resulted in a 40% reduction in traffic congestion. Even if you never touch an e-bike, you would benefit from supporting their increased use."

@davidho When I was working at CERN, they conducted an independent safety and hazards audit for all employees. In presence of particle accelerators with high energy proton beams, radioactive materials, powerful lasers, and cryogenic systems, the most dangerous aspect of work was found to be the daily commute to work.
