Some folks said we were too harsh in our episodes on on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling. This amazing video from Not Just Bikes suggests we weren’t harsh enough.
I'm a longtime fan of Not Just Bikes, but his 95(!) minute video on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling is truly his magnum opus.
If you are even remotely interested in the history of bicycling in America, it is worth a watch.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

rereading a novel from the 50s set in the 30s and i know this passage did not hit as hard when i first read it in the 90s as it does now
![Photo of a passage from "The Watch That Ends the Night"
Jerome stopped and stared at me with incandescent eyes.
"Try and understand this-the fascists have brought back tor-ture, and torture calls for martyrs. And what else is fascism but the logical product of the capitalist system?"
"What do you mean—torture calls for martyrs?"
"Simply this. Unless a man is able to stand up and look the torturer in the eye and say, 'I'm not afraid,' torture becomes the way of the world. It's as simple as that."
"Is it really as simple as that?"
"No." He shook his head impatiently. "No, because underneath it all is the plain economic exploitation of a rotten world.
The communists are the only people who understand that. How can you pretend they're not one hundred percent right when they say that at a time like this the life of a single individual isn't worth a snap of the fingers? Wasn't Debs right when he said that so long as there was a soul in prison he wasn't free?
What does a single marriage count in a balance like that? It isn't easy being me. I know what all this means. [Highlighted sentence:] This evil inside the human animal-the fascists are charming it out like a cobra out of its hole and the capitalists let them do it because they think it's good for business. You think I'm abandoning Sally by leaving for Spain. I tell you, if I don't leave for Spain then I really do abandon her to a future of fascism and concentration camps."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2hwwem55ce6djnk6bn62cstr/bafkreidpecodfhnvdaguaenvcaa34gt4ic566rqz6aiz5j5bjgxc74x3te@jpeg)

It's funny, when you have a cognitively challenged Dem president, his advisors manipulate him into forgiving student loans & expanding domestic cleantech manufacturing. When you have a cognitively challenged GOP president, his advisors manipulate him into fascism.
Kinda revealing.

Trump is trying to cause political violence and domestic unrest, because he wants an excuse to massacre Democrats and liberals who have rightfully accused him of being a tyrant, a criminal, a liar, and a deviant
Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
