@ai6yr Cycling is great. I do enjoy it (except for the damn cars). But there is one small problem.

Roads.

For bicycles to be useful and efficient, they need paved roads. Pavement is massively costly to lay and maintain.

I am not sure what the answer is, other than greatly reducing suburbanization. Horses, maybe.

This graphic resonates strongly with me... Especially the serious need for us to move to walk/cycle/transportation. (maybe a pipe dream, but one must attempt to take the right path...)

@davidbrin Reagan set the wheels in motion for today’s GOP to form. His dictum was “Never speak ill of a fellow Republican”, and he used the religious RW to amplify his and the R’s power.

And anyway, what with the alzheimers, its is not entirely clear that he was all there to begin with.

@jackmjenkins Oh, they have moderation. e.g., if you have “cis-“ anywhere in you post, it gets modded.

@chetwisniewski @noondlyt Leadership?

Maybe a guy who walks with crutches and uses a long cigarette holder?

@mastodonmigration @noondlyt What else is a few billion dollars good for? Once you get past maybe ten or twenty million, you start to run out of toys to spent you money on: above the comfort level, money is absolutely about power and nothing else.

@nixCraft It is called “Recall”. How can they recall Recall?

@Snowshadow @benroyce When you say “men” you cannot mean “all men” – and some of these people are not men. That some women advocate for the subjugation of women is disturbing.

@MEActNOW Reagan was so much of a dirtbag that he made Nixon look reasonable. Now we are on the verge of reforming Reagan’s memory because of this orange catastrophe, when he got the ball rolling for this in the first place.

Reagan made a deal with Iran to DELAY the release of U.S. hostages til AFTER the election

Nixon made a deal with the Vietnamese to delay ending the war til AFTER the election

Trump likely made a deal with Netanyahu to block a ceasefire til AFTER the election

Same damn playbook - different Traitor

@malcircuit It looks like a fun tourist destination, shall we go there?

@Paxil @uspolitics If he was no all self-destructo, the FRW could rally sround someone like Ammon Bundy, just on his blusteriness. Prob is, right now Individual-ONE is the only person capable of making people admire him for his deliberate slow walk into his own demise.

@axios Good god, people, can we stop looking at that festering gob? WTELF does every source have to keep putting that moldy orange thing in front of us?

@Conmom222 @tomiahonen Ronald Fucking Reagan was a great leader. Look at the hole he dug us into.

I am not deprecating Ms Harris. Just kicking the tires first.

@uspolitics Face it, the FRWers are not going to fold just like that. St. Ronnie gave them legs, and they will continue to fight hard to bring back the (sixteen) fifties. They will be with us like long-Covid.

@uspolitics An Individual-ONE win could lead to massive reforms in the system, as in "we do NOT want to do THAT again." It would not be fun, but it could be a net positive, in the long long run.

@CoachMark @theropologist sorry, my mistake, coulda sworn it was Turkey. They are right next to each other. Almost.

@tomiahonen Being persuasive does not make her a better person. Used car salesmen are persuasive.

Every other thing about her is better, though. Low bar, but still, she is better than CFSG in every way.
