I'm getting a puppy when he's old enough. Pics at a week old with his sister.

@ussrminder @EpicClipVault Congratulations. You've successfully defeated the strawman of your own creation.

[Well, looks like we got ourselves @_A_Reader_]

@ussrminder @EpicClipVault I never spoke about the car. They're violating the law too.

The bicycles can not use the passing lane. These cyclists are using two full lanes. Even if what you posted means they can use one they are in violation for using the passing lane.

Never tell an anarchist what to do.

@CassoWAristos @EpicClipVault Either you failed to read what I wrote, failed to comprehend it , are obtuse or are intent on arguing from a losing position.

There are two lanes. There is no "overtaking." There's bikes in the right lane and cars in the left lane.

Easy peasy.

[Well, looks like we got ourselves @_A_Reader_]

@ussrminder @EpicClipVault Violation: Bicycles must use the far right side of the road in single file unless passing.

Violation: Failure to maintain speed.

Violation: Impeding traffic.

Violation: Failure to yield passing lane.

I could probably come up with a few more if I thought about it.

@DocJHollidayTX @EpicClipVault It's two lanes in that direction. They could have used the right lane without a problem. They chose to be asshats.

[Well, looks like we got ourselves @_A_Reader_]

@SmokinWhiskers @EpicClipVault The cyclists are committing the greater violation.

[Well, looks like we got ourselves @_A_Reader_]

@CassoWAristos @EpicClipVault There are two lanes. They could easily be 5 abreast in the right lane. Cars passing in the left.

[Well, looks like we got ourselves @_A_Reader_]

@EpicClipVault They need to lock every one of them up unless they had a parade permit.

@MustangMan_TX Any decent journalist.

It's called speaking truth to power.

What you want is called sycophancy or slavery.

@SenRickScott It's crystal clear. The US and Israel illegally invaded Iran and started a hot war their ass couldn't handle.

@AIPAC Treason isn’t part of a democracy. And your propaganda is so ineffective at this point that the more you talk the more you turn people against you.

@nxt888 They learn to live with the dissonance.

They'd probably miss it if it was gone.

You want to know what imperial conditioning looks like from the inside?

It looks like a person who knows that the United States has the largest prison population in the history of human civilization, and still describes other countries as "unfree."

It looks like a person who knows their healthcare system allows people to die from rationed insulin, and still describes other countries' economics as "failed."

It looks like a person who watched their government spend $2.3 trillion over twenty years building a state in Afghanistan that collapsed in just 10 days, and still trusts that same government's assessment of which other countries are "stable" or "democratic" or "ready for self-governance."

It is not stupidity.

It is something more structurally interesting than stupidity.

It is what happens when the story a person needs to believe about themselves is in direct conflict with the evidence their own eyes can see, and the story wins.

Not because the evidence is unclear.

But because the cost of following the evidence to its conclusion is too high.

Better a comfortable contradiction than an uncomfortable clarity.

The empire is built on that choice, made daily, by millions of people.

@TechTrader420 @PoliceThePolic1 Good advice.

[Well, looks like we got ourselves @_A_Reader_]

@Virginias389898 @PoliceThePolic1 Be wary if they start to put on their gloves.

@lokshensoupjek Confident ignorance or intentional bullshit?

Israel started several wars: 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1982 Lebanon War, and multiple Gaza operations (2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and 2023–present.)

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Using phrasing like "Iran-backed Houthi rebels" — but not "US-backed Zionist settlers" when describing Israel is the hallmark of a biased, imperialist rag.

Forget politics — just from a linguistic viewpoint, what a bloody mouthful. Who wants to read that nonsense?

@jan_murray He spent an inordinate amount of time hanging out with a bunch of guys. Then there were the prostitutes.

If he was human. then he was human.

@BasedMikeLee They sang Onward Christian Soldiers.

No need to mention Mormons.

No one has ever said, "When I think of Christians, I think of Mormons."

[Well, looks like we got ourselves @_A_Reader_]

@BasedMikeLee Christian has a definition.

You don't meet that definition.

You do meet the definition of a heretic however.
