If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

There was oil of some sort on the track, Moto bikes are really on the edge so even a little bit of oil is enough to make them slide off like that. They didn't all just dump it for no reason.

If you watch

You can see all the fallers are on exactly the same line.

Ah gotcha. And from the extended footage in that clip looks like some of the ones further back in the pack did actually collide with each other.

Cops arrested the guy who beaned people with a bike lock at a protest.
Turns out he is a teacher at a college, with an academic interest in mass incarceration. And he taught an intro philosophy course that included ethics. He's going to have a lot of time to write those papers

No fascists died and an anti-fascist is probably going to prison, this is just sad all around. I don't see where the schadenfreude is.

I don't understand why people aren't allowed to throw potentially deadly objects at other people, either.

You're not David Attenborough

Reminds me of an old university mate who spoke Welsh, and one summer, invited several of us to stay at his parents' farm for a birthday barbecue and sleepover.

Told me that his parents lived in a little Welsh hamlet call Llau y Gedor. Very tiny and remote. Not on some maps (this was before smartphones or in-car GPS). I might have to ask for directions.

Llau y Gedor is, apparently, the name for pubic lice in Welsh.

He gets taken out by the bike, but basically just lands on his feet again. It's kind of impressive.

It's going to be an interesting crossroads of that, and nerd defending it because critics give DC universe films bad scores because of some pro-Marvel conspiracy among reviewers.

I assume there are no laws in Texas at all for that theater location, but as far as I can tell it's actually illegal in New York to refuse service based on gender?

It's one thing to flatly refuse service across the board, but I wonder if that would hold true for a one-night-only event.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I often think that I have a good, functioning, wide-reaching imagination that can grapple with complex ideas and concepts, but then I read about people getting mad at a women-only screening of Wonder Woman and I suddenly find my wall.

I was afraid this would happen. Also, a full third of the vote had already been submitted through mail in ballets so it may have happened too late to effect the numbers. He should have assaulted a reporter earlier?

I mean, is he wrong? If they did a Men only screening of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 they'd have the media crucifying them and riots in the streets.
