This was my first thought, but apparently it's another right winger ::gasp::

Not sure why this is illegal. Against the company's terms of service, sure. But the government shouldn't be involved.

I really have to wonder who is down voting this comment.

90+% of this article is good, valuable, and interesting. I too ride on 3-4 lane roads and have dealt with aggressive drivers, it's nice to be seen.

However this bit chafes:

The dismissive ‘male glance’ is real, on the bike as in all of life. I can distinctly recall men realizing another cyclist (me, almost 50) is behind them, at a red light or whatever, and looking back, only to discover a woman who is older than he is, on a not-interesting-to-him bike, with no interesting blingy gear on it, and have him turn away, barely able to acknowledge I was there at all. What was he expecting to see? A sexualizable object young enough to be worthy of his attention?

There is no winning, being catcalled or ignored is equally appalling to you, how is anyone supposed to go about their life in proximity to you? He could certainly say hi, but is not obligated or even expected to. His response likely has less to do with the fact that you're a woman than it does with they fact they probably have something else on their mind.

This from a court controlled by the party that decries the federal government having too much power. Watch as the spiders eat their own and go on not caring.

The founding fathers would have been disgusted but not surprised by this behavior.

Abandon the the two party system and first past the post, vote local, get involved.

Jitsi has done a lot to improve functionality since lock down. Still pretty basic, but it's free and can do moderation.

Here's hoping she stays in to the primary and splits the Rep. vote.

If they don't bother releasing people locked up under laws that no longer exist, why would they bother retrying all those people? To be clear they should do both, but they don't do much of either.

And no one was surprised.

The US has also been passing laws to clamp down on protesting in the wake of the Dakota Access, BLM, and Stop Cop City protests.

The Drilled podcast is doing a season about the global legislative shift now.
