Love seeing a presidential candidate appreciate the endorsement of a college newspaper, especially the greatest college newspaper in the US #GoBlue

Yes! Bike in the street, you're in danger of getting hit by taxi/rideshare drivers and valets. Bike on the sidewalk, you're putting pedestrians in danger. It's time to make it safer for everyone!

this is the most fun thing i have seen on the web in a while remember when the web seemed like it was full of fun things like this? and maybe it still is but we've just been too inundated by all the more hellish aspects to enjoy it sigh anyway... neal.fun/deep-sea/
