I don't know why people say Louis CK isn't funny, cause that self-indulgent piece of shit he put out as an "apology" is a fucking joke.

Yeah, no, this is pretty bad. So glad there's pushback. #castro #sanfrancisco
@vfrmedia I think you're def right about confusion over laws. It's unfortunate NYC's (of all places!) is going in the wrong direction however and I don't think it's an accident that it is low wage marginalized workers who are most associated with ebikes there. Here in SF, while still a small minority, ebikes seem more associated with nerds and maybe older people.

Hmm.. so many things I wanna comment about on this #mefi thread, but outweighed by the task of finding my login. Anyway, #ebikes are only as bad as their riders, just like with anything else.

@fobo yup. even folks who I have a lot of respect when it comes to these issues. 😔 people are confusing sometimes.
"Mass incarceration is appropriate only if you already believe that certain people weren't really fit for freedom in the first place."
From The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Strong quote and the point is well made by the surrounding essay, IMO.
If you reply, consider whether you're escalating into CW territory. I felt like this post was close.
finally: depending who you ask, there are somewhere between 30,000 and 500,000 elected positions in the US, which is a staggering number
but if good, thoughtful, caring people (i.e. you) don't run, these positions are almost all won by party hacks or well-funded pro-business conservatives or tea-party types who want to burn the government down
in short: if you're not thinking about running for some kind of government position in this day n age, you should be!

I'm Aria. They/she, and trans.
I'm a big fat cyberpunk, a wannabe fashion designer sometimes, an anarchist ever since a cop asked a group I was in "excuse me, are you anarchists?", an unschooler, a computer programmer, a public speaker, and a damn good cook.
Also I have awesome hair. https://anarchism.space/media/N2AAYDul8RtWeDUkdE8
What's up with the comments on hoodlines.com? It's like every curmudgeon in #sanfrancisco calls it home.
