Sigh, such bad headline framing by @washingtonpost.com The author is writing about what are essentially electric motorcycles. If, as author claims , it was 'doing about 40 mph", it far exceeded the highest Class 3 #ebike (pedal-assist up to 28 mph). #cycling. wapo.st/4nVWuoI

Horrible 'both-siderism' by @opb.org where the opinions of 'some' folks who essentially never come to #Portland carry equal weight to the 635K who live and work here... "fueled a broader debate among Oregonians outside of the metro area."

No, I’m sorry. What’s happening on Twitter isn’t the usual “it’s the internet, so you’re going to get a few racists” thing. It is a massive engine for creating new racists, a giant recruitment machine for neo-Nazis. You are not engaging WITH THE REALITY OF WHAT THE SITE IS NOW.

Unless you are willing to remain in unending, perpetual conflict with virtually the entire social structure of the platform, staying on Twitter WILL POISON YOUR THINKING WITH BIGOTRY AND NATIVISM. It will creep in. You will start thinking in their terms because the only alternative is constant war.
