Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Recently started biking for real, and holy f-ck - the cars. I swear to absolute fucking God. The cars man. I've never in my 30+ year life seen so many stupid fucking idiots in traffic. Blind motherfuckers. They are making my blood boil. Today someone decided it was a great time to make a U-turn in the middle of the street. I kept distance but the car was jerking and was indecisive and just stopped forcing me to go right on the curb making me fall head over the handle bar and crash. Not a care in the world the driver just looked at me and drove off. Never in my life have I seen so many stupid people that can't drive. And I've had a drivers license for over 20 years soon.
A common thread among newer cyclists is realizing just how awful drivers are. There are things you simply don't notice — behavior that has been normalized — when you mostly drive. Biking, walking, or rolling through the world changes that.

Traditional family values.
I thought they fired all the IG’s.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.
Clearly the Republican Party is the enemy of the world. When that obvious point is made things will finally change.
Until then, rinse and repeat.
They had that stretcher at the ready. 😂
Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?
Glad to see him finally failing. He was one of the first right wing disinfo bots I encountered online. Pre-2015.
Got too fat and happy. Couldn’t imagine there were so many people that were this awful and that so many idiots would support them. It’s like a fucking zombie invasion.
Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.
Salute to an all-time tweet
Growing up meant realizing I’m not anti-authority, I’m anti-authoritarianism; not anti-government, I’m anti-corruption; and not anti-law, I’m anti-injustice. Many thought revolutionaries or would-be rebels can't make the distinction between these concepts and therefore throttle their own goals.

The oligarch from Etobicoke. Time to send him packing.
ALERT: Scott MacFarlane reveals new court filings showing Trump may receive a taxpayer-funded payout from his IRS lawsuit — while the DOJ also moves to return taxpayer money to pardoned January 6 defendants.
Your tax dollars could be going directly to Trump and those involved in the Capitol attack.
That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!
And it’s not even “Iran” getting the money. It’s the kleptocrats that rule that country that will get the money.
90 deals in 90 days - just didn’t say which days.
The worst part of any bike ride is cars.
I did a spot check on CNN and saw Scott Jennings on. Wondered how long it would take him to lie. Answer: 30 seconds, at which time he said Trump‘s war with Iran was a chance “to take away their nuclear weapons.”
Fact check: They don’t have nuclear weapons.
Also a fact: CNN pays Jennings to lie.
Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) recounting an exchange where Trump twice tells Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that Thom Tillis is "no longer a senator," then asks her to confirm it. The embedded video shows Bartiromo on Fox Business, with a chyron reading "Trump: If Powell Doesn't Leave I Will Fire Him."
This is certainly news to Thom Tillis and North Carolina residents.
NO tax on naps. 💤
No, it’s not a painting—these surreal skies are real! This is a rare ‘fire rainbow’ spotted over the Rocky Mountains, created when sunlight hits ice-crystal clouds at just the right angle. Seeing a fire rainbow requires extreme luck.
Someone said something like “I’d be doing better if I was a worse person” a few years ago and that hit.
