It is fascinating to me how every conversation about cycling invites dozens of comments like this. It’s true that some cyclists are rude! It’s also true that this is not relevant to whether traffic laws should be changed

There is a certain type of cyclist who acts like a fucking asshole whenever sharing a space with pedestrians and whenever you mention it a million of them go "well cars are worse" okay thank you for screaming at my child for daring to walk on a mixed use path I guess.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.
It would appear CNN was also at the eugenics conference? Why are all these mainstream news orgs at a 200-person event where all the speakers are eugenicists and racists? www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/u...

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says Chris Hayes on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

I hate this genre of post, and so I am sorry, but it does fill me with a sort of helpless rage that we're making hay over asylum seekers being sent to torture prison based on [gasp] a PAPERWORK ERROR when the horror is that we're doing that at all
NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR.
This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

Word that the great Drew Struzan, who painted more iconic movie posters in the 1980s & 90s than you can imagine, has entered the final stages of Alzheimers. His wife asked that everyone thinks of him and his work and I'm certainly glad to do so. What a talent.

In 2016 I had a client who lived with his sister and his niece, a 16-year-old citizen. One day, two men came by wearing "POLICE" vests. They showed her a picture of a guy and said "this man is impersonating your uncle, can you call him to come home so we can clear this up?"
She did. They were ICE.
She did. They were ICE.
By the way, see a lot of folks confused by how ICE can call themselves “police” and basically lie to targets. I wrote (almost seven years ago now, how time flies!!) about how this is also completely legal and in fact is a specifically-sanctioned tactic the agency has

well we also fired all the local beat journalists who used to report on shit like this and replaced them with mister beast and Candace owens
this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news
A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
