Had to look up if that’s someone’s name or what. It’s Harold Hamsworth, owner and founder of the Daily Mail and unapologetic racist, elitist, nazi piece of shit.
It’s crazy to me that people like this were still allowed to own newspapers after the war. You don’t have to put them against the wall, but you can at least take away their power.
If they took it away from him that would be egregious censorship. If the Morning Star can publish, so can the Daily Heil.
Why do some people never understand that viable alternatives to cars make life better for drivers too.
Oh right, it’s because they don’t want to understand.
English newspapers are all trash.
Not only the tabloidsDaily Hate Mail
Daily Heil Fail
Unfortunately, adding a bus lane does little when drivers fill it up anyways. Unless there’s strict enforcement (doubtful), it’ll just be another traffic lane
They are doing that crap where I live, taking away a car lane for a bike lane. I’ve seen 2 people use it in a two years, not kidding. It’s utter bullshit.
I think you’re in the wrong sub
This is a common optical illusion with bike lanes. Bicycles are a lot smaller than cars and are 100x less likely to encounter traffic congestion, so bicycle traffic always looks much lighter than a similar number of cars.
The only way to be certain about traffic numbers is to do a traffic survey, where you actually go and count the traffic amount during rush hour.
Heres an example of a traffic counter where bicycle traffic looks a lot lighter than it actually is.
Also, even if a bike lane is underutilized, it is often a first step towards a proper bike network. Once a bike network reaches a critical mass, the traffic grows exponentially as people feel safe biking and new kinds of business is enabled by bicycle transport.
In countries like the Netherlands it is very rare to build a road WITHOUT a bike path, and I think that should be the standard. We should be asking why it didn’t have a bike lane when the road was first built.
That bike lane looks so cramped tho. Why not take both the bike lane and the pedestrian walkway and merge them into one wide bike+pedestrian road (still keeping it physically separate from the car lanes of course)? So much comfier, easier on the eyes, and you don’t have to make bike traffic one way so cyclists don’t have to cross the street just to go in the direction they need to. I’d feel so cramped cycling there, like how do I even pass people with any real speed without jumping onto the raised pedestrian bit? They could just swerve in front of me and there’s nowhere to go in the bike lane.
I’ll add an example from my country. Bikes and pedestrians have plenty of space and cars aren’t cramped either. There’s a marked pedestrian lane and bike lane, but since they’re not physically divided, it’s easy to temporarily use the pedestrian side for overtaking if necessary. This road in Montreal doesn’t really need the divider between car lanes since speeds there are likely to be quite low, that could be taken away to increase the width of the potential combined bike+pedestrian roads.
Because bikes are still vehicles, so it is safer for everyone for bikes and pedestrians to be separated.
The cyclist is going to be hurt just as much as the pedestrian if there’s a crash. Physical separation there makes it much more uncomfortable to use and an eyesore as well.
Ah yes cuz adding more lanes totally gets rid of traffic Just one more lane man I gotta get just one more lane and ill be ok I swear
I like how the title is unnecessarily long so that it can convey propaganda.
Yes they need all those words just to convey that you should hate her.
White female Mamdani? So like a completely different person?
Lol it’s just the Weekly World News. You’re getting mad at Ed Anger.
I assume she had this framed and mounted on her wall, I would.
They takin’ our lane, fuckin up everything
why don’t to you take the bus?
ain’t nobody take no busses, deys to slow.
And crackheads
Crackheads never worried me, catching a cold/flu on the light rail was pretty shitty though.
You’ve never been attacked by crackheads then
Nope, and never seen anyone attached by them either. Worked in Baltimore for 30 years. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it’s pretty rare.
Please consider sharing achievements of Seattle mayor Katie Wilson rather than sharing the negativity and hateful propaganda of her critics.
Anytime you share a thing you hate online, you are doing free marketing for them.
You could instead ignore it and counterbalance with hope, optimism and successes.
While I agree with you in general, there wasn’t a single thing in that headline I consider negative. As far as I’m concerned, it was all complimentary.
(I know that was far from the author’s intentions, but that is genuinely what I think of it.)
I absolutely love this strategy and am 100% on board.
“Takes away lane of road from motorists” is a wild way to say “Created a bus lane”. These people need help.
The only people who ride the bus are people I hate with wide eyed, red-faced, frothing rage.
Whoa, whoa. Chill. It’s just a bus.
Why are you screaming like hell, buddy?
I’m sorry, that’s just my instinctive response to the b-word.
I hope this is a description of the inner machinizations of the outraged crowd in question… rather than you being the example.
I’m not versed into English poetry, but mysogyny and racism put asside, can someone tell me is it suppose to be a well written sentence or as ugly as I feel this is ?
This is as ugly as you feel it is. Dumb people only read the headline, so newspapers written for dumb people try to jam all the points they want to make in the article into the headline.
try to jam all the points they want to make in the article into the headline.
the specific wording of specific headline aside, i like it far more than “you will never believe what this politician did!!!”
you SHOULD be able to tell what the article is about from the headline and only click for details if you are interested.
The headline should contain what the article is about, but details and interpretation are what the rest of the article is there for.
A better headline for the OOP news article would be “Controversy over new bus lane” or if you really want the mayor in the headline: “Mayor sparks controversy over new bus lane”
Yeah the whole sentence sucks. I am convinced it’s meant to have people think “what the fuck are they even talking about?” and click.
I can’t understand a single word of this from “who has never owned a car”.
Daily Mail writes at the level of it’s audience, and this is a Facebook Rant tier piece of journalism.
That’s how English headlines are written. American ones are even more awkwardly terse.
