“ 'I’m the king of a lost world! I’m the king and I will destroy you!' Javier Milei bellowed into the microphone on Wednesday night as Argentina’s showman president took to the stage for his first stadium gig since his election last year.”

My daughter follows some of my Argentinian cousins instagram feeds. He’s very popular with the ‘haves’, young and old. Seen as some sort of Economic Idiot Savant, who will protect those struggling to maintain ‘what’s theirs’ while demonising the concept of ‘society’.
They dug up Margaret Thatcher and made a smash burger with Trump. Nazi buns, with plenty of relish.

A very common one for me in town is waiting at a red light to turn left at a junction, only to have an e-bike doing 30 undertake and bomb round the corner.
Multiple times if I’d simply twisted my wheel to shift my standing weight, I’d have been smashed into bits.
Always always delivery drivers, occasionally souped up scooters.

Also: the large Junction ‘X’ crossings. Bikes will occasionally amble across the red light to cross over with pedestrians (while still giving them right of way).
But e-scooters and delivery bikes just see it as a green light and bomb straight across at full speed.
@clive@dougiec3
and lastly e-bike bombing in and out of cycle lanes. Overtaking cyclists in the blue lane. Relative speeds are so out of whack. Dangerous.
What I find most disgusting is all the people who knew Diddy was abusing Cassie and others and kept their mouths shut because of money. I have no respect for that shit. It’s INDEFENSIBLE.
