    Sorry for triggering you, bro. But the cartoonist is trans, lives in New York, the comics where she is depicted are regularly set in NYC, the comic specifically references “in the last two years,” she regularly makes comics about Trump, I specified in the United States, bicycle deaths from cars rapidly increased in the US starting in 2016 and reached their highest ever in 2022 (the last year with comprehensive data), and pedestrian deaths from cars increased 83% since 2009 with a larger increase occurring in the second half in the 2010s.

    The comic isn’t directly about the fact that people in cars behave poorly around bikes and pedestrians in the last four decades. It clearly addresses the recent spike in aggressive behavior from motorists, especially towards pedestrians and, by extension, cyclists.

    Why are you beside them at an intersection? That’s pretty dangerous. You should either be directly in front of them or directly behind them. No one cares about where you “can be” as a cyclist when you’re pinned under the wheel of a car bleeding out.

    From one cyclist to another, don’t pull up beside a car at an intersection. If it’s a stop sign, take the lane and get directly behind the vehicle and act like a car. If it’s a light and you have time, pull directly in front of the lead car. Your acceleration off a green light will far surpass a car.

    In the US at least, Trump has validated half the country to express naked contempt for anyone they deem “other.” This includes: any person of color, any woman, anyone younger than them, anyone that “looks” educated, anyone walking, anyone on a bicycle, and anyone in an electric car, among others.










  • I guess the deal was he felt like his vocals were drowned in the mix. In between the songs Farrell was talking to the audience and Navarro belted out a power chord to shut him up. In the song they were playing before the scuffle, apparently members of the audience in front were shouting they couldn’t hear the vocals. Farrell “screaming” at the end of the song was him trying to highlight that even if he was screaming no one could hear him, and I guess that amped him up and then he snapped.

    In my opinion, basically what happened is he was drunk and babbling and slowing down the show between songs. Additionally, I wouldn’t be surprised if his vocals were lowered in the mix given he admitted himself after a previous show that he basically wasn’t singing well. Not uncommon to have the rest of the band a little louder to cover for a struggling vocalist.

    Simply put, he was drunk and not singing well. But mostly he was drunk and being a babbly asshole, and he was drunk and turned violent.

    Basically, he’s a drunk asshole.
