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.

While searching for a Cherry Grove Blossom Biome in Minecraft?! How do they know that?! (⊙_☉)

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

I'm wasting my time commenting on a comic about many lives wasted by people reading comics produced by someone wasting their life making them! It's waste-ception! It's waste all the way down! Woo woooh, it's the waste train!! Jump on board!!

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!

The problem is it's often hard to see the forest for the trees.

You’re not being creative enough ;-) All Fed vehicle fleets will have to be Tesla within a short timeframe. And regulations limiting the rollout of self-driving vehicles in any way will be gutted. Also massive tariffs will apply to all imported EVs. Rural broadband contracts will all go to Starlink. Truth Social may or may not get merged with X, but regulations and regulators in that space will be gutted. All Fed infrastructure projects will all of a sudden require the Boring Company for some reason. A.I. regulations will always come out in Elon’s favour. FDA will be gutted and Neuralink will get fast tracked. NASA will be severely neutered and SpaceX will step in to fill the void where ever possible. NASA will be gradually reduced to a consultation / supporting role until it's no longer required. Missions will stear away from pure research and towards those with a clear profit motive like mining, space tourism and comms. Fun times ahead!
