Today was my first day back from vacation. So many emails... I just kept scrolling through all the unread and felt defeated. I allowed myself extra distractions today while trying to at least prioritize things, but it ended up being a surprisingly productive day somehow. On to tomorrow.

You know, I feel like lately every other article in that paper is an advertisement for Quarks
Meh, what does that idiot know anyways, this is delicious!
Hahah no, there's nobody driving the bus
Thank you! I noticed the usual feelings of dread creeping in already
No need for the \s. That is literally how they did this "study". I'd be interested to see who it was that paid for this bullshit, wouldn't be surprised to see the money trail leading back to commercial real estate.
The article boasts the headline front and center % productivity loss, as though this was some years long extensive study. The section of the report discussing these results is less than two paragraphs long. I've seen high school students put together a more detailed a well researched study.
What bothers me the most is that people will readily reference this article and spread this bullshit everywhere, with basically no one having read the study or put any critical thinking into this at all.
But he looks ever so polite, he must have his cheese!
I don't know if it's increased since covid but people seem to have shifted from anti cycle to outright openly hostile towards cyclists, at least where I live. I can't count the number of incidents I've had this year alone where I've had to swerve to avoid someone angrily forcing their way into a bicycle lane, running lights or going out of turn in a four way stop, or just intentionally grazing me because fuck bicycles apparently
Yeah, they sent me an email basically saying "we're sorry" with no offer for free credit monitoring or anything.
Thanks so much for sharing that web comic, I loved it!

Don't feed the trolls.
They don't care about the topic, they don't care about the facts or a logical debate. They only care about getting a reaction out of you. Don't give them what they want.
