Hey, I wrote a book.
Did The Science Wars Take Place?
Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

TEN miles an hour? TEN? The average elementary school student can get an appropriately sized pedal bike up over 10. You'll be issuing tickets to tweens for getting to school too fast.
Why another US state is preparing a 10 mph e-bike speed limit
Why another US state is preparing a 10 mph e-bike speed limit
Florida is the latest US state to wade into the increasingly crowded waters of e-bike regulation, with lawmakers advancing a bill that would impose a situational 10 mph (16 km/h) speed limit for e-bikes on shared-use paths. It’s a move that fits squarely into a broader national trend, as states and cities across the country reconsider how electric bikes fit into public spaces that were never designed with fast, motor-assisted travel in mind.

Local police stood by while neo nazi Jake Lang pepper sprayed people from the back of a Uhaul, then the cops attacked protestors. All in defense of a concentration camp staffed by fascist gestapo filth. This is Minneapolis.
Tayler Mitchell said he was pepper sprayed by Jake Lang as the Jan. 6 rioter drove by the crowd of anti-ICE protesters outside the Whipple Federal Building in a U-Haul.

Shit like this is what I'm talking about. Just the latest example of someone who doesn't know anything about the blockades, understand their purpose, or see their success. I've seen ICE turn around and not enter a neighborhood. I saw it with my own two eyes, on the ground in Minneapolis.

As someone who was there it was clear that ICE intended to fire teargas on the labor march, directing shots over the heads of those closest to the building and firing munitions directly at the crowd. They even chose munitions that would have the widest possible effect.
Shameful that the Portland Mayor said that “outside agitators” were responsible for triggering ICE’s assault on thousands of union members last Saturday. Then @pdxoregon50501.bsky.social threw out the ED of @jwjpdx.bsky.social for holding the mayor accountable.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
