Really sad to hear of the death of Chris Rea. My German host father introduced me to his music and I’ve never stopped liking it. Hearing his songs reminds me of my host father and returns me to what was *the* formative year of my adolescence.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD:
It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.
I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

The President is starving us. The Supreme Court just said yes, it’s ok to starve us.

These ICE agents are out of control in Chicago. This one’s aiming a loaded weapon at a woman just for filming him as he hunts immigrants in broad daylight. This shit is beyond fucked up—and it’s only a matter of time before one of these losers pulls the trigger.

This is the main issue I have with so much of the coverage around e-bikes. It's not that there aren't legitimate issues. But there is a panic around e-bikes and crickets regarding the daily toll of cars. And that's because the harm of cars is just accepted. It's baked into our society.
The deference we give to drivers is astonishing: speeding, blowing through red lights, crashing without a whisper; yet we jump on non-drivers the moment they step out of line.

The green cross code is the most disastrous public information campaign in history. It has made generations believe that pedestrians are responsible for avoiding crashes. Crashes are actually the responsibility of the operators of the massive motorised lumps of metal.
