    The disappearance of a nation, something that is very real, has existed forever, and must continue to exist forever, is more important than the survival of the species.

    If I can’t draw lines on a map that delineate where on a language continuum I start considering someone an “other” then, by god, I’d rather die in the climate wars.














  • London is actually rolling out speed cameras for 20/30mph zones.

    And these e-motos are affordable, but an e-bike with a 250, 500, or 750W motor is also affordable. I think a lot of people just have speed/power brain and are trying to maximize the wrong thing when they transition to electric mobility devices. And I think this is partially out of ignorance, but also driven by some anti-social tendencies.




  • As I’ve posted before, I’m definitely of two minds about these aliexpress e-motorcycles.

    On the one hand, anything that’s not a car is good.

    On the other hand, these are usually bought by people whose first criterion in selecting a bike is “how fast does it go”, which, if you think about how car owners who do that act, makes it very obvious they’re probably going to use them in a way that’s dangerous to themselves and others. Sure, yeah, they’re not going to hurt as many people as if they had a car, but also whipping around on sidewalks at 30mph is a great way to stoke up reactionary over-regulation that is going to kill the access to a great car alternative for a lot of people.
