I won't defend assholes that behave poorly on any mobility device, but bikes on sidewalks are a symptom of hostile infrastructure design.
No one willingly chooses the friction of sidewalk riding when proper, protected, efficient bike lanes exist. Ebikes aren't the problem, it's the infrastructure.

Have had more close calls with a high speed e-bike on the sidewalk than I would like this year. Would probably be good if something were done about this...

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Amen.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Car brain is seeing an empty bike lane and calling it a failure, while seeing a gridlocked road and calling it high demand.
Efficiency looks empty because people are moving, not sitting in traffic. If a bike lane is truly unused, it's usually because the network is hostile and disconnected.

Bus and bike lanes discriminate against families for whom public transportation is not an option.

As everyone knows, the basis of capitalism is that if a product is great you'll need to cram it down everyone's throats (without consent) for years before finally being bailed out by the government
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Remember this? The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc
