Young leftists are in a panic like "OMG THE GOVERNMENT DECLARED US TERRORISTS"I'm over here just thinking they finally got the memo. Leftists have always been on their list.

Zoomers are way too young to remember how brutally OWS was put down. Like, some of the people involved disappeared.Yeah. Disappeared. Yes, in America. Surprised? Don't be. It happens all the time, usually to those who are obscure enough where they won't be missed.

There are probably people from OWS literally in Gitmo rn. Or probably wherever Jimmy Hoffa is. Speaking of, notice how the government was in no hurry to figure out where he was? Funny, that.

The idea you can "share the road" with a car on a bike or as a pedestrian is madness. No one in their right mind would propose we "share the rail" with trains. I don't understand why city leaders believe this is at all desirable or a substitute for true bike paths.I'd go so far to say cars and pedestrians sharing the same grade (as in level) makes no sense at all, in the same way high speed rail and highways are grade-separated.

The Delta Variant sounds like an excellent title for a horror movie tbh.

Thing is OWS was relatively modest in comparison to what many leftists really want. It was literally a protest like "hey this income inequality thing sucks and Wall Street being bailed out was because the tail's wagging the dog. We should break up the banks." Yeah, nothing controversial at all, nothing even that exciting. "The revolution" this was definitely not. Some might even say it had a little bit of a liberal touch. And they crushed it like a tin can.(Yes I'm simplifying but look you could write a book about this)And Obama pretty much sat by and mysteriously said a whole lot of nothing. So much for "hope" eh?

The city I live in (Tulsa) has eliminated car lanes and added bike lanes (a positive step), but in a lot of spots as a cyclist you're expected to "share the road" with other traffic. Oftentimes you are "sharing" the road with traffic where the speed limit is 40-50mph (~65-80kph), and you have very small margins to get out of the way (or for them to go around).The legal "fix" is cars are supposed to yield to you. In a country like America, that's a pretty big ask. Cyclists asking for cars to yield in America is like asking Jeff Bezos to pay his taxes like he's supposed to. To be blunt, many of us are entitled ingrates behind the wheel of a car. Anyone who's been a cyclist can tell you that. (In fairness, it does work with ways...)Close some fucking roads and make some bike paths. Crazy concept, I know, but we kinda did it with rails to trails.

I do partially take it back: very low traffic roads, very quiet residential ones with room to spare, are fine for share the road. It's low-risk at that point; no one should be going faster than 25mph/40kph on them, and even that's fast for some roads. After all, kids play in the street too. But on higher traffic roads it's madness.

mastodon.social's mods are either nonexistent or asleep at the wheel. They're allowing shit like this to stay up. They've been reported for several days and nothing is being done.We're probably giving them the axe here. Dunno about y'all.I'm not providing image descriptions because honestly I feel bad enough just having these in a damned post.

There's three mod accounts in the about page. One of the mod accounts has no posts and the other two have no posts since 2020.This really sucks because they're the fediverse's largest instance by a huge amount but this shit is not tolerable nor sustainable.At this rate, fedi really is collapsing.

Now, I have heard that there's other posts (especially transphobic ones) being allowed to stay up too. Admittedly, I haven't been able to confirm because frankly I don't really want to find them, it's just hearsay. I try not to put too much stock into hearsay, as I know how twitter/a twitter clone can be, but I'm inclined to believe it from the other shit I've seen, if I may be blunt.

I'm probably not here anymore — you'll probably find me on @Elizafox. I will probably keep this account around as long as the instance is around. I just need a permanent break from adminship.

Anyway. It is done.Disappointed, but not surprised. All that is built by humans is destined to turn to rubble.
