UPS has banned its drivers from turning left since 2004. The company says the rule saves 10 million gallons of fuel a year and let it pull 1,100 trucks off the road. The same logic is why this intersection needs zero lights.

The left turn is the villain of the entire road system.

A normal four-way intersection has 32 points where two cars can hit each other. Sixteen of them sit inside the box, and every one of those is a crossing conflict, the kind that produces a T-bone at 45 mph. Twelve of the sixteen involve someone turning left across oncoming traffic.

Delete the left turn and the count drops from 32 to 14. Crossing conflicts fall 87%.

That is what the loops in this design are doing. Nobody turns left. You turn right, drive a few hundred feet, U-turn through the median, and come back to the road you wanted. Three gentle merges replace one gamble against oncoming cars.

Michigan has been building these since the late 1960s, which is why engineers call it the Michigan Left. Minnesota put its first one in Willmar and went three years without a single fatal or serious injury crash. Across the states that adopted the design, injury and fatal crashes fell 54%.

The render skips the cost. Every crossing driver goes farther, and those U-turn loops eat land, which is why you find these on wide rural highways and almost never downtown. Minnesota's math is that it can build 10 to 20 of them for the price of one overpass.

Traffic lights exist to referee left turns. Take the left turn away and the referee has nothing to do.

They just rescued 163 kidnapped kids in underground cages with duct tape over their mouths from a human trafficking ring in Florida and it hasn’t been on the news once because it’s 3 white maga Christian dudes that ran it. Take all the time you need with that one

We pay the premiums. We pay the deductibles. We pay the copays.

Then when we actually need care, an insurance company gets to decide whether it will pay.

Healthcare should exist to keep people alive and healthy, not to maximize shareholder returns.

Something has to change.

630k more home sellers than buyers. Banks hesitant to foreclose because they don’t know what to do with the properties. Interest rates are too high and Amex is cutting card limits. It’s super ugly.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Florida’s housing boom was built on one assumption:

“Everyone is moving here forever.”

Then 511,000 people left the state in a single year.

Narratives change slower than data.
