There seems to be an idea that advocates for safe bike infrastructure want to excuse and defend the right of reckless cyclists to ride recklessly. Absolutely not. We probably hate those guys more than you do. They are selfish, entitled, and endanger all of us.

my politics in one tweet is that markets and capitalism solve a lot of problems automatically and one of the main purposes of government is to deliberately distort price discovery where markets are insufficiently farsighted
10. Ensemble casts are more interesting than single protagonists, and most of the fun of writing characters is seeing how they interact and contrast, especially if you want to tell a truly original story—you’re not going to come up with a guy who’s weird in a way no guy in literature has ever been!

For all the people posting about how it is fine to speak ill of the dead (which I endorse), I haven't actually seen anyone saying not to shit on dead Lindsay Graham.
The sheer number of people posting that not caring that a bad decision got overturned for the wrong reason makes you Stephen Miller makes me think everyone needs to go back to bed. Let's all try again tomorrow, huh?
Said I could not wait to see how Canada was going to not convert this, and then it was so much worse than I could have imagined.
Commentator on the DR Congo-England game had a chance to do a smooth Country Roads -> Leaving on a Jet Plane transition if he only knew John Denver's game. But he didn't.

The Kat/shrimp post has to be a false flag, right? It's way too stupid to be real.
If I was so easily manipulated by the Huffington Post as people around here are, I certainly wouldn't advertise it, but maybe I'm built different.

I do not understand why writing a letter to the college asking them to rescind an invitation isn’t also free speech.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 4mo agoI read this entire article and could not for the life of me figure out why it was news. They picked a speaker, some students wrote a letter saying they don’t like the speaker. This is the sum total of what happened. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...
