I went to this! There were a good number of the "usual suspects" there claiming nothing should be done because nobody bikes there, but I made sure to submit feedback proving them wrong (I bike there, I had my #brompton with me)!
Meeting for West 29th Ave Bikeway Improvements coming up later this month. Details on this and other community events on our website at denverbicyclelobby.com.

Fucking lol did they seriously call themselves foxes in the henhouse? I know the macho chudness of it all but c'mon man you're really going with "we will eat democracy, we are predators" as your thing?
ah yes reservoir dogs, in which things famously go great for the characters

Wow, it's weird how the media narrative of a far right populist wave keeps crashing against reality in every country that actually requires them to win a majority of votes to take power
The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar resultβ€”if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.

Now all I have to hope is that Canada does the same thing and dumps Pollievre on his ass in the next election. πŸ‘πŸ»

The NYT, the most influential paper in the country, just ran an Op Ed called 'Why I Don't Vote' by a guy who votes. It's that simple. The NYT is a farce. You cannot trust anything they print.

Do we know if the quote came from the worm (obviously a liar at this point) or from RFK Jr himself?
JFK: Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. RFK: Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. RFK Jr.:

This is in fact a good learning opportunity! On fact most Canadians eat zero doughnuts, however, the national average is skewed by doughnuts George...
Canadians love their doughnuts. Per capita, no one on the planet eats as many doughnuts as Canadians. Each year, Canadians consume 1 billion doughnuts. We eat five times the number of doughnuts per capita than Americans. We also have the most doughnut shops per capita.

I'm normally very much a "you live in the big city; there's noise" sort of person. But car alarms? Car alarms are profoundly anti-social & the longer you let it run the larger the object passersby should be allowed to throw becomes.

Thanks to @theabigailthorn.bsky.social: I am reading China Mieville's "A Spectre Haunting" and thanks to philosophy tube I correctly discerned that Mieville was building up to how the manifesto fails to address social reproduction in chapter 5! Maybe the first time I felt prepared for the lesson?

It’s outrageous to me that blowing through a red light is just a slap on the wrist but you can be arrested for jumping a turnstile. One of these is putting people’s lives at risk and it’s not the farebeating
