Things I've seen people doing while driving: taking phone calls without using hands free, adjusting their stereo or AC or any number of other buttons that are off to the side and usually require looking down, reaching across to get something out of the glove box, texting, putting on makeup, reading a book!?

When I got hit by a car while riding my bike I was wearing high vis, it was daytime, I was in a cylcle lane, they were on a giveway/yield and yet some people I told about it after the fact STILL implied it was probably my fault because I didn't see them or wasn't looking for random maniacs running giveways?! I WAS looking and DID see them but you only have so much time to react and the choice between slowing down versus speeding up to avoid impact is not so clear when you only have seconds at best and your brain is going FUCKSHITFUCKWHATDOIDO?!

Clarity over what can and can't use "bike lanes" is sorely needed in this day of electric bikes/scooters/wheel chairs/mobility scooters etc blurring lines and shifting goalposts. There's been a welcome explosion of micro mobility options and there needs to be clarity around what can go where as it's all over the show at the moment?! It's part a public awareness campaign issue, laws and regs, as well of course a major infrustructure issue.

It appears to be a play on Lawrence Welk of "The Lawrence Welk Show"?!

It's an important reframing. A reminder to not blame the victim. Roads bisect ecosystems. Some flora and fauna can't ever cross them. Some like deer can but risk being killed. All this has a dampening effect on genetic diversity by bisecting populations into ever smaller areas of smaller populations. For these deer maybe it doesn't matter so much, but for some species it matters a lot. Roads everywhere cut the landscape into islands (especially for insects for example) meaning populations are often divided into smaller ones of less genetic diversity. Less genetic diversity often means less robust populations. I am not an expert but this is how I understand it. The poster barely hints at this but there's only so much you can achieve in a poster but the reframing is a start. Jaywalking laws were a reframing that was designed to transfer the blame from the car and driver to the pedestrian in accidents. The new laws said that cars weren't the problem, the victims being run down were the issue as they shouldn't have been in the way of the car.

Schrödinger and Fermi bumped into each other once. It was quite the pair o' Docs!

Yes, he delicately chainsaws off only the finest shark carcass heads and air dries them on the roof of his car in the heat of the natural sun! Only the best natural produce for him! Prepared by nature!*

*may contain parasitic brain worms, weavels and maggots for an added protein boost!

He supposedly never eats any processed food and is against processed food.

People be voting like they're in a ranked choice or proportional representation system & not in a 2 party FPTP system?! Those that previously voted Dems can't just be voting for a 3rd party and not realise that they're effectively handing the win to Trump!? Maaaybe do a 'protest' or 'teach a lesson' at some time when there's NOT a wannabe dictator leading the other party?! Just a thought…

A world renowned, pathological liar "played you"? The guy famous for a decades long history of incredible contradictions, tall tales and epic falsehoods. That guy. The Mythomaniac to end all mythomanics. The compulsive liar that lies more easily than he breaths? He played you? Really? I'm shocked!
