Had a close call with a carton of eggs, though. Next time, he'll come better prepared.

'That’s why society’s current obsession with Black billionaires and one-percenters as “success stories” constantly falls so flat. The notion of building individual wealth as a means of collective liberation is as sinister as it is stupid. We know that Black wealth hoarding can’t save us and that recreating the violent architecture of capitalism – but with Black people in the positions of power, of course – does nothing for the plight of everyday African Americans.' #blm

My saddlebags looked like my camera bags, with the ziplocks to keep important stuff dry. :D Even weather-sealed saddlebags will leak.

Meta: Do not come here for news. We're proud of blocking news sharing on our site, because we care about our personal politics, and pushing the ideologies of our favored political parties.

X: Do not come here for news. We're proud of debasing, discrediting, and belittling legitimate news organizations at the beck and call of our favored International political parties, for not aligning with our owner's political ideologies.

Shared this a year ago at this time, and and one of the comments was this: "There's a particular spot at the mall by me that's set up similarly and it gets parked in constantly. My husband and I shook our heads as we walked past a car parked there on our way in, then chuckled when we came out to see the owner getting bent out of shape after removing a ticket from his windshield."

Seeing this shared on other social media outlets really exposes the ignorance surrounding drag story time, with all the critics thinking that it's some sort of adult strip club performance performed for kids, with comments like, "Yeah, but Robin Williams wasn't wearing pasties". wha?

"A friendly reminder that Mrs. Doubtfire ended with Robin Williams in full drag, getting his own show reading to kids.

There was no outrage when it came out. Nobody was protesting the show and claiming propaganda."

Car ownership causes the absolutely worst urban design problems all of our cities face. They are the greatest cost to public infrastructure, while shutting out all human safety and access. Car ownership is a major problem, but pretending that it's primarily an environmental problem, or that EVs solve any problems at all, is all misdirection to keep the auto industry strong.

We have destroyed our cities in order to enable the entitlement of everybody owning a personal car, and have pushed everybody else out. EVs solve none of these problems, they only help with pollution, which they don't do well (ala point 1).

Is this genocide yet?

"Trans people are under attack by politicians looking to ban their access to hormones and gender-affirming care, limit the bathrooms they can use, and investigate their parents for supporting them in their identity.

According to the Trans Legislation Tracker, 561 anti-trans bills have been introduced this year, making 2023 a record year for legislation targeting trans people."

Billionaire says, "rich people shouldn't have to sit in traffic. We should have our own private tunnels."

City agrees.

The public says, "We shouldn't all be sitting in traffic, costing taxpayers billions of dollars to maintain roads. We should have infrastructure to allow for reasonable mass transit and active transportation."

City says, "lol".

The landowner has a good argument (sarcasm). Sleeping is a basic necessity, so somebody needs to be profiting off of it, and it can't constitute enjoyment.
