Please go buy a subscription to your local news paper if it still exists, even if you almost never read it.

Doesn't he have some slave labor he should be doing instead?

Doesn't seem like Columbia is following eviction law here.

90+% of this article is good, valuable, and interesting. I too ride on 3-4 lane roads and have dealt with aggressive drivers, it's nice to be seen.

However this bit chafes:

The dismissive ‘male glance’ is real, on the bike as in all of life. I can distinctly recall men realizing another cyclist (me, almost 50) is behind them, at a red light or whatever, and looking back, only to discover a woman who is older than he is, on a not-interesting-to-him bike, with no interesting blingy gear on it, and have him turn away, barely able to acknowledge I was there at all. What was he expecting to see? A sexualizable object young enough to be worthy of his attention?

There is no winning, being catcalled or ignored is equally appalling to you, how is anyone supposed to go about their life in proximity to you? He could certainly say hi, but is not obligated or even expected to. His response likely has less to do with the fact that you're a woman than it does with they fact they probably have something else on their mind.

The founding fathers would have been disgusted but not surprised by this behavior.

Abandon the the two party system and first past the post, vote local, get involved.

Jitsi has done a lot to improve functionality since lock down. Still pretty basic, but it's free and can do moderation.

I love seeing the positive impacts of our community. Please keep highlighting new communities. I was unaware of all of them and have subbed because of this post.

I'm no Muskcuck, but I am in favor of capping the generational transfer of wealth. Let these big inequalities die with this generation and set up a (more) even playing field for the next. If the rich want enhanced educational outcomes for their kids they have to fund public institutions.

It's been a couple of years now. Nate Silver now spends as much time at poker tournaments as he does working on 538

Put in a sand pit somewhere you are ok with them shitting. Training domesticated cats is an undertaking that in my limited experience comes down to giving them an option they'd prefer over their current behavior. Trying to dissuade a feral cat from shitting where they please humanely seems like a loosing battle.

Meet Ron DeSantis

I'd really rather not. And based on the downvotess, neither does anyone else.
