@DrNinjaChaplain @_Tariqwoolen Dr. Douglas, you should practice what you preach by knowing that the period goes INSIDE the quotation marks — but perhaps even more importantly, may I recommend that you SYBAU.

@GeeScottSr No way.

NBA owes us the Sonics regardless of the outcome of the games in July.

It was a pleasure to speak with Dr. Christine Norton, PhD, LCSW and Candace Brendler on the latest AORE podcast, exploring the interdependence of emotional and physical safety in outdoor program design. https://t.co/OvCbIK0d8Y

It was a pleasure chatting with Candace Brendler at ⁦@AOREoutdoors⁩ on their latest podcast, on outdoor risk management. Do we need to wait to learn from tragic events, or can we learn from the little things that happen every day? https://t.co/VjQzsRR3Eb

@ATRightMovies All four are wonderful, obviously
Star Wars: Bigger impact as a series but…
Jaws: Simply the best stand-alone film of its type

@Joe_Fann Well, as you may know, Durant actually was the 2nd overall pick (as Blazer fans will recall) so… there you go.

@bcondotta I hope Reed covers the secondary better than this illegible quote covers your story. 😁

When asked to draw their trip to school, children who walk to school drew a more vibrant picture than those driven in a car. Every student should have the option to walk or bike to school in a safe manner, full stop. (via Margrit Stamm)

Popular culture and sports provide interesting places to apply risk management models like Jens Rasmussen’s idea of “practical drift” which describes a three-way tug of war between safety, efficiency, and money - tradeoffs in safety as we increase speed and revenue, shown below:

@JoffeChris I like it, Chris. Great use of Reason’s Swiss Cheese model. For factors that undermine prevention, I would add special interest groups that lobby against gun reform. For factors that favor prevention, I would add registering people to vote.

@TheNeedling Mt Hood is actually a far more aesthetic and beautiful mountain (having climbed both Hood and Rainier multiple times from different sides).

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes @SteveKornacki @chrislhayes - This is the best segment I have seen on your show, which I do regularly watch. More features like this, please!
