I was being sarcastic. Opening your door into scooters, bikes, pedestrians, other cars, etc. is always the fault of the opener.

Obviously, that scooter rider was going too fast, and the car door was the real victim.

No details are provided on what has led to the "600% spike" in e-scooter injuries, but the two incidents cited in the article are kids getting hit by cars on their scooters.

Maybe it's not the scooters?

Toronto hospital reports 600 per cent spike in trauma cases related to e-scooter injuries

St. Michael’s Hospital is emabarking on new study to help bring safety to Toronto roads after data shows an increasing number of e-scooter and e-bike accidents.

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

I would encourage you to move from "I KNOW what Antifa IS" to perhaps a more curious perspective.

There's lots on the internet about local antifa groups in the US, even on Wikipedia. The fact that you are completely unfamiliar with the structure of antifa suggests you may not know what it is.

OK...

Canada Post loses $10m per day.

Oil and Gas loses between $8-80m per day of federal subsidies depending on the year.

the US, Netherlands & Hungary have put 'Antifa ban’ into practice (as of Oct 1). this is the wet dream of all fascists “because what really bothers them is antifascist research, outings, direct confrontation & contestation on the streets & a strong antifascist subculture that steals their recruits.”

I was trying to provide one. The contemporary use of "antifa" (outside of how its been taken up in propaganda) is a style of non-hierarchical organizing that is really just all made up of local groups.

Different from NGOs, or the historical Antifaschistische Aktion (centrally controlled by the KPD)

B @monnomdeguerre.bsky.social · 2d

Its not "Antifa", its "antifa", like "anti-racist" or "anti-colonial" or "fascist". It's an adjective, not a noun.
