I think it works on its, own cause (for me at least), “plais” evokes “plaisir,” the French word for enjoyment/pleasure.

Would be interesting to know how, e.g., the Netherlands deals with this problem. That is: What is the result of/response to drunk driving when most “driving” happens on bicycles?

It’s the same old “first we need to overthrow the ruling class, *then* we’ll tackle [sexism/racism/TKism]” bullshit the ‘60s bros were peddling.

He was on NPR’s Here & Now yesterday, and I COULD NOT BELIEVE host Scott Tong just let him argue about the “best way” to remove Maduro w/o *any* (!) pushback about WHY we have any right or responsibility to do so, to say nothing of our atrocious record vis-à-vis regime change—esp. in Latin America!
