This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

I’m not saying Flo Bikes cares about bike racing or its customers, but ever since I berated them for showing an ad in the last lap of a CX race it hasn’t happened again 🤷🏻♂️

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Yeah. In 2013 I door-to-door canvass to get my city to fluoridate the water. Conversations went like this:
Me: I used to be an environmental chemist.
Them: 😀
Me: I used to test drinking and wastewater.
Them: So you’re against fluoride?
Me: No, I support it!
Them: 😡 (woo jibberish)
