seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

The biggest problem is that many of the pedestrian bridges there were designed by assholes and have stairs instead of a ramp.
Obviously, there is always room for improvement. It's definitely possible to design pedestrian and transit infrastructure with disabled people in mind.

The main problem with cars is how much they spread everything out.
In cities like Venice, which were built for pedestrians, everything is within 1.5 miles of the city center. Even for chair or scooter users, this isn't too painful.

I know quite a bit about this.
My wife works in a wheelchair clinic (she fits all types of mobility aids, not just chairs).
One of the biggest barriers to wheelchair users is cars. Subways and light rail are certainly imperfect, but they have or can be made with level boarding.

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

Figure showing the largest measles outbreak in the US in decades. There are over 1500 cases as of October 7 2025

American elections: oh god.

Upcoming Dutch elections: PVV certain to have the most amount of seats.

Upcoming Armenian elections: guy who told a priest to look at his dick is certain to remain PM, which is somehow the best choice currently available.

The kassabian curse remains strong.
