Morgan Freeman prefers two-wheeled vehicles. As code name "Dottie," she designed a bike called the X1, and teamed up with P.W. Herman to keep it from the Soviets.

I've noticed that a constant and troubling trope amongst online Nazis and similar edgelords is telling people to commit suicide ("kill URself").

🍅 I don't understand why anyone would buy this product. You can grow your own pubic hair at home, it's way easier than growing tomatoes and just as tasty. #locavore

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Oddly enough, Patagonia has a line of "Patagonia Provisions" organic crackers to take backpacking.

To be fair, when you work on the U.S.S. Enterprise, all your outside relationships are extremely long-distance.

(Unless you're Christopher Pike, in which case that pesky Kirk guy shows up just about every week.)

There are always person-in-the-street interviews with people that have this disorder, because it's "interesting." The media seeks them out and irresponsibly spins them as exemplars.

"This Bernie Sanders supporter went full raving MAGA, it's a growing trend and means something deeply profound!!!!"

Reagan Era nostalgia could backfire.

Mind you, the Reagan Era was objectively awful, but the nostalgia has been primped up with Republican hagiography for decades. The same people who now insist that Trump is sane and caring.

Since they rely on fear, statistics showing crime going down must always be summarily dismissed. This "stats are wrong" talking point is decades old at this point.

There's always some percentage of unreported crime. This has not changed, but it's their wellspring of whuddaboutism.

If you only read one of this trio, make it Life After Cars by @brooklynspoke.bsky.social & @sgoodyear.bsky.social.

It’s the most accessible and informative, as well as the most practical.
