Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

is this an instruction?

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Something I just read prompted me to check some government figures. In 2023, 34.52m people held driving licences out of a population of 68.3m. That's just 51% of people

"If a cyclist makes a mistake, he dies. If a car makes a mistake, he also dies."

This Dan Donahue video is so good. I love his point that a lot of cyclist hate comes from drivers being mad they have to drive everywhere. I don't think that's the reason for *all* the hate, but it's a factor!
