It's a kitty break then we slay the #Dem #Senators that have #allowed #Albus. We cannot keep voting these same people in. I am 65 and willing to go into the dark ages if that is what it takes. I will not capitulate to the craven words backed by capitulation. The #Democrats are on notice. #Oblivious.

A Reminder to Unclip and Anticipate Danger While Cycling

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In the last two days I have had dangerous situations in Geneva and Nyon when pedestrians, or cars, have failed to pay attention to the fact that they were crossing a cycling lane where cyclists have priority. The result is that in two cases I had to take emergency evasive action to avoid a collision.

For a long time I always unclipped when I thought people might cut me off. Recently I haven't. The result is that in Geneva, when girls cut me off while I was on a cycle lane with a green light I couldn't stop, but I didn't want to hit them. I emergency braked, passed behind them and continued on my way.

Last night it was a car driver that ignored that he was crossing a cycle lane. If I had continued going straight I would have hit his car. I diverted and I avoided the car. I think he was yelling abuse at me. He refused priority, not the other way around. He was crossing from a road, crossing a cycle path, and pavement, to get into a 20 zone. He had no priority in this context.

This isn't about blame, or priorities. This is about anticipating people's actions. I should have unclipped at least one foot, ready to stop in both situations. Recently I have been riding an enormous amount, by my standards, and I have become a little lax with anticipating dangers and risks.

If you're using flat pedals, and you're surprised, within milliseconds you can stop. With clipped in pedals it takes milliseconds to realise you need to unclip, unclip, and then put your foot down.

Pedestrians, and cars, when they see "road" cyclists should keep this in mind.

I wear brilliant colours when I cycle. In last night's incident I had a brilliant yellow top and a 1300 lumen white light on the front of my bike. I was clearly visible. The car refused my priority.

Invisible and Silent

When I was getting my scooter licence we had to learn that we were invisible to cars, and to anticipate danger. On a bicycle, not only are we invisible, but we're silent. We can sneak up on people with ease. That's why I always slow down, and say hello, on agricultural roads. I had a bell on my bike, but because I never used it I removed it. I find greeting people, after slowing down, is more convivial and friendly.

And Finally

Cycling infrastructure is designed for touring cyclists, and families, rather than road cyclists. This means that it's important to be ready to stop instantly, if the situation requires.

As a road cyclist I would love for cycling infrastructure to be built for speed like roads are, but they're not. They're designed for flâneurs to get from A to B after a short bike ride in urban clothes, without a helmet.

In future I will actively make sure I unclip in situations where mistakes by drivers, and pedestrians are possible.

@JimsPhotos Nicely done! How far were you from the #birds? The angle does it for me. You're capturing the #tilt of the #parent's #head #perfect. They seem #oblivious to the #surrounding

There are countless objectionable #human #traits and #behaviours, but being #oblivious is near the top of the list.

Yet another train journey where I'm just astounded at the kinds of phone calls people seem to be happy to have on speakerphone. #Oblivious #TravelTwats

Time to haul #DOGE to court. It itself is a #fraud and a #waste. Just 2 calls flagged out of 110,000!

Reason 586 why billionaires should NEVER be in charge of any #government function. They are #oblivious of #hardships faced by commoners.

Is it a certain age people get to when they just decide "Yup, going to trust the corrupt government from now on no matter what, f*ck it.." or are people really just born that dumb?

"Earthquake Rattles MA"
"An earthquake could be felt throughout the Bay State as houses rattled and nerves were shook."

My house shook and I was, 'hey what's going on?' --- but then went right back to the project I was working on. It was only later that I realized what had happened! 😄

For the last 2 years or so, my local Boots pharmacy has sold #covid #lft packs from behind the counter. This morning, I went in and asked for some as I usually have, for the sales assistant to point out they were now on the shelf next to me. #oblivious

When I asked about the change, they said it was due to "the very high amount of demand right now" 😬

Stay safe everyone!

"Sir, we have a problem."

"What is it?"

"The cadets are too weak to go into combat."

"Hmm... we should toughen them up."

"How?"

"How about exposure therapy?"

"Brilliant idea, sir!"

[A little later.]

"Bad news, sir."

"What is it?"

"The cadets were all wimps."

"What happened?"

"We exposed them to grenades, and they all died."

"Alright. We'll have to do another recruitment call."

"Alright, sir!"

"And this time, please use nuclear bombs for the exposure therapy."

"Understood, sir!'

#Vance tells Dems to "turn down the hateful rhetoric." #Oblivious #GOPHypocrisy #Projection

Experiencing a great example of #ableist behavior. Rubik’s #cubing events are t exactly quiet. But there’s a group of kids so freaking loud I can’t even hear myself in my head. I and teo others ask them to please quiet down. Nope. Totally #oblivious. And #entitled. Why should our noise be bothering anyone?

Gosh I don’t know. But a kid slams their hands down on the table to finally get their attention, and this is the “problem.”

Anybody else see the irony in a white male professor at Cornell Law (who studies CORPORATE LAW and FINANCIAL REGULATION) getting his knickers in a twist about the possibility for students of color to "game the system" by disclosing their racial background in college admission essays? AYFKM???

#December 12, 1742
#OTD Anna Seward, #English #Romantic #Poet, is born.

Known as the #Swan of #Lichfield, Anna wrote a #Poem called "To the #Poppy," which ends with these #Words:

#Kind #Dreams #Oblivious
From thy #Juice proceed,

#Thou #Flimsy, #Showy, #Melancholy
#Weed.

The poppy is an #August #Birth #Flower/#Symbol of #Remembrance.
In #Floriography, or the #Language of #Flowers, the Poppy represents #Comfort & #Solace.

#Trump’s rhetoric is #dangerous, not just because it is the exact sort that #incites #violence against #public officials but also because it shows just how #numb the country has grown toward #threats more typical of broken, #authoritarian regimes. The #UnitedStates is not just careening toward a significant risk of #PoliticalViolence around the 2024 presidential election. It’s also mostly #oblivious to where it’s headed.
