The difference between the French and Americans in two headlines. 😆

Sorry @alecluhn.bsky.social

CBS NEWS headline:

Cyclist falls down 130-foot ravine in France, survives 3 days by drinking wine he had in shopping bag

CNN headline:

Stranded and injured, he drank his own urine to survive in the wild. Here's how an American hiker made it home

The War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social · 9d

A 2021 study from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics showed that 52% of all trips in the U.S. were less than three miles. 28% of trips were less than one mile. With slight tweaks, many of those trips could be done on bikes, e-bikes and other light electric vehicles, and walking.

I'm tempted to listen because I've yet to read an argument about "car addiction" that factors in that the continental United States covers 3.7 million square miles.

I agree 💯% with this take.

I once mentioned this on Twitter in response to people calling Donald Trump “fat” and “orange”.

Some people got quite cross with me 🤷🏾‍♂️

It doesn't matter how despicable a person is, mocking their innate physical appearance is always wrong.

Not because it's cruel to them, but because it perpetuates the harmful idea that innate physical appearance has anything to do with one's character / beliefs / actions.

There is a French saying that goes: "on choisi ses amis pas sa famille". One chooses their friends not their family. Maybe choosing one's family can be a lot healthier some situations.

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Karen Attiah at WaPo championing Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed by the Saudi govt for writing critically about them, then getting fired from WaPo for writing critically about the US govt's veneration of Charlie Kirk is such an illustration of this moment, and how "free speech" has been manipulated.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.

When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.

I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness
