It's not just the rabid ones any more.

Very reasonable people at very solid institutions are starting to make very bad decisions.

Switching sides in Ukraine and gutting USAID are foreign policy versions of shooting someone in the middle of 5th Avenue.

Except there are thousands of someones.

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.
