This SDF.org account is for fun things. Serious political stuff can go on @bobjonkmangreen (edit: I have failed at avoiding serious topics here. I'm now full tilt on this account, prepare for computery stuff, social justice, politics, climate, &c.)

#BikeNite A6: I don't take many photos when biking.
The oldest that's easily accessible is from the #Waterloo #CriticalMass ride in 2010, with many riders in costumes. The Transformer was skateboarding...
(Edit: the CriticalMass *Halloween* ride of course. They weren't all like that)
The most recent photo is of damage to a bike lane, probably from a car that pushed the concrete curb blocks into the bike lane. Not much good for protection from traffic, apparently.
Cute, but a big hazard if a vehicle has to leave the road.
It's been 67 years, presumably all of them with no roadside accident.
Depending on one's grasp of statistics, an accident is either unlikely to happen at all, or there's one due any day now.
we may soon find ourselves with a runaway wealth inequality
I'd say we're there already, and have been for a long time. Even exponential growth starts off slowly.
Many years ago (1998?) I heard two men in suits talk about the shoeshine stands in the Toronto underground shopping. One said "It's nice to see lots of thriving independent businesses." The other said "Those aren't thriving businesses. What you're seeing is the polarization of wealth."
