Seriously, look at this guy ram another car into a divider at 75 mph and get a slap on the wrist. Yet most of the media would have you think that a guy sleeping in a doorway is a bigger threat to public safety.

Oh hey #bikedc — the big bike swap at the Westminster Ag Center is this coming Sunday. On the off-chance that anyone is selling a Bullitt frameset, I’ll pay you back. https://stopswapandsave.com/

#FollowFriday - Regular people. It's great that the journos and thought leaders are here too, but you know who they are. Follow as many of your fellow mere mortals as you want/feel safe

Friday thank-you to everyone moderating and administering instances, and everyone else here.
