Cheap new safety device. Stick a tin of Jiffy Pop on your ebike battery to alert you if it's overheating.

It's National Fire Prevention Week.

An ebike battery with pretend fire coming out of it. The battery is full of popcorn. The text reads: The CPSC National Fire Prevention Week Ebike battery fire popcorn bucket*. Prevent fires deliciously and charge your ebike battery safely. Never charge the battery while you're sleeping or not home. Use only batteries and chargers approved by the bike manufacturer. *Not a real product.

"He's a tall handsome white guy. He should be given a great job because of that." No mention of anything else. Surprised he didn't check his teeth since he's talking about the guy like he's going to put him out for stud.

After a second questioner expressed concerns about the surveillance technology, Keisha Lance Bottoms said she is "not opposed" to a moratorium on the installation of new cameras, citing privacy concerns. Rick Jackson said he opposed a moratorium, saying, "I don't want crime to go up."

Damn. I thought the Vulture Culture thing seemed good. P.E.: The class we always hated? I'm just wondering who's going to get the cast-offs. Someone mentioned a Looney Tunes streaming channel. I could go for Animaniacs and Tiny Toons 24/7.

About 20 years ago, I was driving my Eclipse on a back road to get around interstate construction. Was blinded by the car behind me. Not even sure if they had their brights on. I slowed down hoping they would pass or dim their lights. They didn’t. I finally pulled off the road to let them go.

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

Narcissists are controlled by their supply, not vice versa. The more people cheer for something, the more he’ll double down. MAGA is zero-sum and cheers for anything that “owns the libs” without thought as to how it will hurt them. As long it as it hurts the ”enemy.” It’s reaction like an ameoba.

Unlike the ”intellectual” Yarvin, the average person in the UK actually knows a bit about history. In the US, we have some of the most ignorant motherfuckers on the planet who are considered “smart” by even more ignorant motherfuckers.

Most of the people I know wanted to get away to the mountains from the “city.” The “city” was basically areas of Florida that were growing really fast not necessarily really urban. Retirees have been moving to Florida decades. Unless they’re from Florida. Then they retire to the mountains.

The people from Florida moved to Georgia. Currently, there are people who moved up to North Georgia a while back ago who are mad at all the mountain developments because other people also want to move to North Georgia. It’s just a never-ending migration of assholes.

South Florida in the 70’s and 80’s was the fastest growing area in the US. Guess what? Most of the people who moved there were from out-of-state. This isn’t new. Had a friend who lived a few years in Florida in the 90’s and said they only met about half a dozen native Floridians.

Isn’t that the Yarvin problem? Wants a dictator but can say how a dictator should be “chosen” or who is qualified to be a dictator. You’d think they want the richest guy because they equate wealth to intelligence and morality. Guess they aren’t so keen on the ketamine-addled freak.

It’s “those people” who are un-deserving. Then you start drilling down to who “those people” are and there will always be some racist, sexist, or bigoted bullshit… and always classist bullshit. ”Those people” never include a white person’s crackhead cousin.

If you don’t wear a helmet, you’re not a cyclist. Anyone who regularly rides wears a helmet because they meet people who have stories about bad spills. They tell these stories so you learn from their mistakes. Not just roadies. Mountain bikers will tell you to wear a helmet even on easy trails.

Being in a mid-sized city with both rural and urban areas nearby, we’re seeing or e-bikes. There’s also been growing numbers of Polaris/Gators and golf carts. Being that e-motos are EV dirt bikes, it isn’t surprising they are getting more popular.

Sock Puppet Pundit @sockpuppetpundit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Because the ATV problem is more of a rural problem. It was also more of an middle- and upper-middle-class issue. The price has gone down. There are really cheap bikes available and they conflate e-bikes with e-motos and throttle control with pedal assist.

Anyone who wants to be a dictator is not a benevolent person. Tanks running over protestors is efficient to quell protests, too.

The problem is people look at those who succeed and never bother listening to those who failed. There’s far more to learn from failures than successes because there are more failures and ’average’ outcomes than successes. American exceptionalism has everyone thinking they’re the next big thing.
