Agree on all of this though having a Merkel or Thatcher certainly didn't seem to solve things though they were working on patriarchal structures. Gotta destroy those.

in new york we fill these with cement and call them "cop-knockers"

these are good people, simple farmers. the common clay if you will.

you know, morons.

my dream of having my own MRI viewer was ruined by my having to live underwater when sea level rose by 10 feet

are you suggesting what you see maintainance wise at the forest depot is unimpressive?

I love forest in theory, a London based company providing a local solution, but in practice I feel much safer with the extra power of the lime bike.

the main danger from in particular lime bikes comes (funny parallel here) in their design, not their speed. "lime leg" is real and having fallen off a lime bike on ice the weight of the bike's central body goes right onto your femur.

design remains the most important factor, and we have that data from NYC going back over a decade (the 9th avenue bike lane data is fantasically helpful as it's now 15 years).

but lowering the top speed of the ebikes,as happened last year in NYC makes everyone feel less safe, not more. data to come

nothing makes me feel safer than being able to accelerate quickly in front of the cars in a line at a light, and lime bikes allow me to do that (and others will tell you the same.)

your analysis is facile and not backed by real lived experience for the vast majority.

It's an all timer. The original has a fan made video on YouTube that's a piece of art in its own right and has millions of views.

Is was unacceptable for labour to give palantir contracts. I said so from day one. Polanski is right to pursue this.

Is it? Why weren't the last six special elections, all won by democrats, in any way impinged? You think Louisiana, where a demo just won by 14 in a plus 13 trump district, isn't able to be racist? And yet no reports of stopping anyone voting. Doomerism is anti intellectual

(notices your handle ;-)

that douglas adams helped manifest the future is a thing that makes me (and 14 year old me) so very very happy. i cannot thank you enough for this anecdote.

my favorite ben smith story: meeting with him at buzzfeed and him complaining about how PC all of his employees were and how much it pissed him off, then having me say "but what in particular about that bothers you" and...silence.

i had a palm pilot, but the treo was the real "i see the future" moment for me. (great moments in culture: Marc E. Smith mentioning his palm pilot in "Dr. Buck's Letter" which is one of the greatest Fall songs)

my ex-wife still has the original apple newton.

i think in the "too early" sweepstakes, coming in hot at number one is the Apple Newton.

you are reading your own view on to other people's. people are capable of using an obvious exemplar of the absurdity of her position without being xenophobic. it's just...irony! give people more credit. if i make fun of a nazi's accent (which i do, often), i trust my audience to get the point.

can't agree with you there. when you are essentially eva braun, the fact that you are complicit with the detention, torture, murder and disappearance of people BECAUSE OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS makes your accent a synecdoche for your evil heartless soul. it's absolutely reasonable, nay righteous.

i dream of this ANYWHERE in the US. anywhere. rural area public transport in the US is so bad.

if you haven't watched the documentary on this, it is absolutely OUTSTANDING. on netflix i believe. Vatican Girl. so good. so enraging.

this has been starmer (and labour, or New Labour, or NEW NEW NEW MUST CREDIT MANDELSON NEWEST labour)'s biggest weakness. thinking that the british press would give labour a break without, you know, actually fixing what's broken was an own goal of breathtaking malfeasance.

hey can anyone tell me what language "mar-a-lago" is in?

asking for a friend. a pedophilic friend.

excellent journalism.

no, actually jan it strips context. you are using statistics to tell half a story, and in so doing have done nothing more than create pro-AI propaganda, whether you meant to or not.

yes, and the good news about transport is it gets me places i need to go. to buildings that i live work and play in. made using products from various industries.

remind me what AI does?

when i tell people about the triple murderer EX-COP WHO WAS LOOKING FOR A PLEA BARGAIN who was made epstein's cell mate the week before he died, some roll their eyes at how absurd a conspiracy theorist i must be because come on, that's just ridiculous.

it's also true.

if you want to be president, say what jon ossoff just said: "they aren't for the working class, they are for the epstein class"

that line wins the presidency in 2028.

you think you have found the depths of the depravity of republicans, but then you read alan simpson and orrin hatch laughing it up about bestiality porn with clarence thomas and you know you were wrong. there were several more levels down.

this caller seems to suggest that terrorizing immigrant kids would be ok with him, BUT YOU CAN"T DO THAT TO THE WHITE KIDS.

and he's one of the good ones.
