Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

JUST IN: Voters in San Francisco's Sunset District have recalled their supervisor, Joel Engardio.
Recall leads huge in early returns, nearly 2 to 1.
Engardio, who rode to office after himself working to recall SF progressives, then angered constituents by championing replacing the "Great Highway".

the classic contradiction here is that capitalists want to increase profits by reducing what they pay out in wages, but they also need a consumer base with money to buy the products their companies make. if no jobs then how people buy things

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care
Head injuries like Sean's are very serious. Go immediately to the ER even if the victim is alert and talking. Brain swelling has a short delay and bleeds can start later. You can be fine one minute and dead within an hour.
Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

Right-wing attacks on higher education, government and marginalized outgroups go back at least 70 years. They have been making up culture-war boogeymen to justify crackdowns as long as I have been alive.
