A bicycle kick.
A penalty
A sending off
A pinger from outside the box
And the keeper lobbed from the halfway line in the dying seconds to seal it.
A perfect game of football.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Well, this is one of the most terrifying and anxiety inducing things I've ever seen.
Imagine the road filled with drivers doing this. Now you can understand the hyper vigilance required of pedestrians and bicyclists. And despite that, we can still get splattered because of 3 seconds of distraction.

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes.
The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.
