#ive been exposed to this website since like 2015

[eggfriiedrice]

seeing deactivated accounts being reblogged in the year 2024 is very Ozymandiascore...

[ceasarslegion]

honestly i think if this site finally dies to a ceo meltdown (which might be the only thing that can kill it lmao) i think... it would be for the best to just leave this place and the communities it fostered buried

I won't go to cohost, or bluesky, or anything. Y'all can catch me on my already made social (1) (discord. Im not giving anybody my facebook account with my full name on it after the death threats ive gotten over the years here) if you want, but this site has been going downhill ever since the advent of cringe culture and ace discourse circa 2015. It feels like recent months have been hurtling towards the logical conclusion of the turbo-echo chamber this site exists in. I seriously miss the era where it was just superwholock jokes and the only drama you'd hear about was the occasional bone-stealing witch level shit that everybody would go "lmao what" about and then go back to their regularly-scheduled movie discussions. Maybe i'll go back to pinterest at most and spend the rest of my time in fandom and furry forums and AO3. It would compel me to write and draw a lot more.

And honestly, I think tumblr finally getting the plug pulled on its long-dying life support may be legitimately helpful for a lot of the users who yanked this site's culture away from that and into the echo chamber. They might like, go outside for once. I know "touch grass" is a cliche or whatever but I do think a lot of this echo chamber can be chalked up to sitting on the computer all day and never getting exposed to anybody outside of your self-imposed internet echo chamber. Go outside, get some fresh air.

Also, it won't be the end of the world. If your free time and happiness is really that contingent on any one social media site then it may be for the best to take it away from you. Learn how to entertain yourself without it. There's a whole world out there to explore. Find something else to do. Pick up new hobbies, look into events in your area. Get really into some weird niche hobby and spend all that time doing that instead of just posting on a different website if this one's finally done. Remember that 4chan guy whose life turned around after he got really into raising shrimp instead of discoursing on 4chan all day? Maybe it's time to find your shrimp raising hobby instead of just posting the same things and perpetuating the same cycles on a different site.

I'm not saying to go full amish and abandon the internet altogether but i am saying that if this website has consumed so much of you that the prospect of it imploding is this upsetting to you, maybe you need to start raising shrimp for a while. I think it would be good for you.

Idk man, I'm chilling in my chair here but if it goes, she goes. I'll find something else to do, but this site hasn't been the tumblr I stuck around for for a long time now, so it won't be the end of the world for me if it ends. I'd just grab my favourite mutuals discords and head out to get more into the furry fandom and write more fic instead. I never wanted to be exposed to this much of the everything on this site anyway, I joined for the memes and the fandom content way back in 2010 and then just never really left.

Readers And Tweeters: More Than Two Sides To Every Story

Letters to the Editor is a periodic feature. We welcome all comments and will publish a selection. We edit for length and clarity and require full names.

Dispensing The Facts — Or Dispensing With The Facts?

Kaiser Health News and PolitiFact HealthCheck’s rating of our advertisement on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s drug pricing legislation, H.R. 3, ignored key facts and third-party data that backed up the assertions made (“Pharma’s Take On The Pelosi Drug-Pricing Bill: Fair Warning Or Fearmongering?” Dec. 5).

In our ad, we correctly stated that H.R. 3 “would siphon $1 trillion or more from biopharmaceutical innovators over the next 10 years.” The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that just one part of the legislation (Title 1) would reduce revenues to the biopharmaceutical industry as high as $1 trillion. In addition, an analysis from Avalere, a leading health care consulting firm, found that H.R. 3 could “decrease manufacturer revenues by $1T for CYs 2020-2029 in the Medicare and commercial markets.” The KHN story excluded the Avalere analysis while providing no evidence that the impact was less than the amount estimated by CBO and others.

Moreover, our ad directly quoted CBO’s preliminary estimate, which said the bill “would result in lower spending on research and development and thus reduce the introduction of new drugs.” Despite being an exact quote, KHN still chose to rate this as “mostly false,” even though every person quoted in the article acknowledged there would be a reduction in new medicines.

The story also ignored a study from Vital Transformation, an economic consulting firm, which found H.R. 3 could result in at least 56 fewer innovative medicines from emerging biotech companies over 10 years. The impact on the entire industry would be much greater.

We stand by the claims we made in our advertisement and reject KHN’s analysis of our ad and the impact H.R. 3 would have on biopharma innovation.

― Robert Zirkelbach, executive vice president of public affairs, PhRMA, Washington, D.C.

The simple argument that a tradeoff exists is "mostly false"!? I agree the industry overplays the effect size but come on!

— Ben Ippolito (@ben_ippolito) December 5, 2019

— Ben Ippolito, Washington, D.C.

I was very glad to see Kaiser Health News look into and expose the false and misleading advertisements from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) that had been running in “Politico PM Playbook” over the past few weeks leading up to the House vote on H.R. 3, “The Lower Drug Costs Now Act of 2019.”

This is exactly the kind of spotlight that we need more of on an industry that is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into lobbying and false advertising in an attempt to stop any meaningful action that would threaten their record profits. We at Accountable.US are doing everything we can to expose the corruption, influence-purchasing and coziness between the pharmaceutical industry and the Trump administration, but we need the media to step up as well to help people cut through Big Pharma’s false advertisements and learn the truth.

Because to be clear: Corruption and lies may be par for the course in Washington, D.C., during the Trump era, but this is an issue that can’t be seen as simply another run-of-the-mill falsehood by a D.C trade organization. The cost of prescription drugs is a matter of life and death for millions of Americans and it’s an issue that elected officials have made commitments to address. But if the pharmaceutical industry is able to spread false and misleading information to policymakers and the public unchallenged and with impunity, then this critical work becomes far more difficult.

That is why following the Kaiser Health News analysis, I wrote a letter to the publisher and top editors of Politico requesting that the false advertisements be removed from the website and that further advertisements from PhRMA using assertions that have been labeled false be rejected.

This ‘Warmline’ Is All Ears To All

I am the president of a nonprofit organization, Peers in Cayuga County, in Auburn, N.Y. We have been offering a “warmline” since 2015 (“‘Warm’ Hotlines Deliver Help Before Mental Health Crisis Heats Up,” Dec. 9). It operates 24/7/365. We volunteer in Cayuga County and mostly work with people within the county. But, when it comes to the warmline, we answer the phone and listen and talk with whomever is on the phone. We have received calls from out of the county as well as out of the state. We believe in supporting anyone who needs help and are open to anyone calling in to get the support they need. Of course, we don’t know which resources to direct them to nationwide, but people are people and we can support anyone. With that in mind, I would like to have our number listed in as many ways as possible so we can help whoever wants it: (315) 246-3004.

Extra Pointers For Patients To Ward Off Billing Fraud

KHN Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Rosenthal makes many excellent points (“Analysis: In Medical Billing, Fraudulent Charges Weirdly Pass As Legal,” Dec. 16), but please allow a few comments.

First, not to apply a neck brace in such an accident when the patient has been unconscious would be medical malpractice ― period.

Second, the article ignores patient responsibility. When a patient has been out of the hospital for a while, pain management should transition to one’s personal physician. Depending on state law, it may require an office visit, but it’s your personal physician’s job.

Regarding being offered unnecessary medical equipment such as walkers or commodes, just say no and sign that you refuse it. It is your choice. Actually, it could be argued that accepting unnecessary medical equipment constitutes fraud.

Finally, Ms. Rosenthal reminds us of post-accident “pfishing.” Accident reports are easily accessible. Honest businesses never cold-call patients. If you haven’t been told a referral is being made to “X” office and to expect a call, hang up! (Some states have laws forbidding this; you may wish to inform your state attorney general’s office.) Follow your doctor’s recommendations and don’t get hooked!

— Gloria Kohut, Grand Rapids, Mich.

This! Medical billing is a game of greed, confusion, obfuscation, and fraud, plain and simple. After my last experience with CU Health, I have refused to get medical attention I still need because I can't stand or afford the hugely profitable billing scam. https://t.co/1NbGyVvkVD

— Sharon McCreary (@selfesteemfail) December 19, 2019

— Sharon McCreary, Denver

I love this article! I want to know when we are going to stop accepting this as OK. Some of these bills can really hurt people who live on a fixed income. The government needs to step in and stop allowing these things to happen.

― Michaela Reyes-Holmes, Thompson, Ohio

Health care is crazy town. No other part of the economy looks anything like this, because no other sector is as deeply screwed up by government misregulation. #GovtFailure #NotMarketFailure https://t.co/Hjr6qYaZgV

DC Entertainment responds to turmoil over sexual harassment claims

New Post has been published on https://entertainmentguideto.com/must-see/dc-entertainment-responds-to-turmoil-over-sexual-harassment-claims/

DC Entertainment responds to turmoil over sexual harassment claims

In response to a recent outcry from fans and comics creators, DC Entertainment has released a statement addressing allegations of sexual harassment.

Published in Comic Book Resources(although not on DC’s own website or social media pages), the statement promises that DC will expand employee training and review policies regarding workplace discrimination.

DC Entertainment strives to foster a culture of inclusion, fairness and respect. While we cannot comment on specific personnel matters, DC takes allegations of discrimination and harassment very seriously, promptly investigates reports of misconduct and disciplines those who violate our standards and policies.

While the statement speaks in general terms, most people are interpreting it as a response to allegations about Eddie Berganza, a senior editor at DC.

For the past few months, Berganza has been the subject of unconfirmed rumors about a quarantine at the publishers Superman office, wherein DC allegedly avoided hiring women to avoid further sexual harassment incidents with a certain editor. In late April, a number of comics reporters and fans named Berganza as the editor in question, with writer/editor Janelle Asselin saying that she left DC due to the publishers lack of interest in holding him accountable for inappropriate behavior.

Yes, I was one of many who reported Eddie Berganza’s behavior in 2011. I left DC because they promoted him anyway.

Janelle Asselin (@gimpnelly) April 21, 2016

Back in 2012, the comics site Bleeding Cool suggested that Berganza was demoted from executive editor to group editor after a series of sexual harassment claims, specifying one incident that allegedly took place at WonderCon 2012 in front of witnesses. The idea of a Superman office quarantine was brought into the public eye in September 2015, ina blog post from comics writer Alex de Campi. However, what sparked the most recent debate was something seemingly unrelated to Berganza: DCs decision to “eliminate the job of popular Vertigo editor Shelly Bond.

Vertigo is the adult-oriented imprint that launched cult comics likeSandman,Preacher, and Y: The Last Man. Bond had worked there since the 90s and was promoted to CEO in 2013. It was unclear why she was let go when DC announced it was restructuring Vertigo last month, and the comics community wanted answers. Why was she leaving while DC continued to employ a man who, in the words of Alex de Campi, had multiple incidents on his HR file?”

Recently I ended up turning down a Supergirl job partly because I was nervous about working in proximity to Eddie Berganza.

Sophie Campbell (@mooncalfe1) April 21, 2016

I have friends with PTSD from Berganza and people like him. But yes, let’s fire the Shellys of the world.

Janelle Asselin (@gimpnelly) April 21, 2016

As reported by comics blog The Outhousers, this quickly snowballed into a public discussion about sexism and discrimination in comics publishing. One contribution wasa blog postfrom artist Katie Jones, stating, “I was sexually harassed and almost raped by a Senior Art Director from DC Entertainment,” describing an incident at San Diego Comic-Con.

After three weeks of back-and-forth on social media, DC’s only official response is its statement to Comic Book Resources, published on a Friday afternoon. Berganza, who still works at DC Comics, has not answered any requests for comment.

Let me make this unequivocal: Comics has a sexual harassment problem. It needs to stop. Men need to stand with female creators in support.

Jim Zub in Japan (@JimZub) April 25, 2016

As comics fans would be quick to point out, this isnt an isolated case, and it would be inaccurate and unfair to single out DC when similar things have happened at other major publishers.

Last October, the former editor-in-chief of Dark Horse Comics, Scott Allie, issued a public apology for biting and groping a writer during a party at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). The writer in question, Joe Harris, described the incident to Janelle Asselin at Graphic Policy, but the accusations didnt stop there. Graphic Policys report also cites several anonymous sources at Dark Horse, characterizing Allies behavior as threatening and volatile. One source claimed that he was nicknamed Bitey the Clown due to his habit of biting people while drunk. Several said that they reported his behavior through official channels and were assured that the problem was being investigated.

Brendan H. Wrightan editor who worked at Dark Horse for seven years before leaving last Septembertweeted that Dark Horse “worked to hush up” the incident at SDCC, despite other employees demanding that Allie be fired.

Just like Berganza, Allie was repeatedly promoted after bad behavior, including after last year’s SDCC.

Brendan H. Wright (@BrendanWasright) April 23, 2016

Before Allie’s most recent promotion, the ENTIRE Editorial department begged for his firing and were ignored.

Brendan H. Wright (@BrendanWasright) April 23, 2016

DH’s director of HR stressed to me Allie’s 20+ years at the company and the respect I should therefore show him in this matter.

Brendan H. Wright (@BrendanWasright) April 23, 2016

After Allie apologized for his conduct towards Harris last year, Dark Horse president Mike Richardson gave an extensive statement to The Beat, championing his own open-door policy with employees. While he applauded Asselins desire to expose sexual harassment in the industry, he added that no one here has ever turned a ‘blind eye’ to these behaviors, not in this case, not in any case.

The SDCC incident came to light less than a month after Allie was reassignedfrom editor-in-chief to executive senior editor. Its unclear whether this change was linked with harassment allegations, but Allie still holds an editorial role at Dark Horse and writes the ongoing comic Abe Sapien.

In 2013, Brian Wood (who has worked for DC, Marvel, Image, and Dark Horse, and is particularly well known for his original series DMZ) was accused of sexual harassment at SDCC. Artist Tess Fowler said that he feigned interest in her career before trying to get her to join him in his hotel room. Wood responded with a statement saying he had simply made a pass at Fowler, and that there was never a promise of quid pro quo.” He characterized the incident as a misunderstanding, adding, “I think the larger issues of abuse in the comics industry are genuine and I share everyones concerns.” (After naming Wood, Fowler tweeted, when I have 3 women in my inbox in TEARS as they’re typing over the same guy? Yeah, screw being nice.)

Comics is small so most of these sources don’t even want to be anonymous because it can be traced backed to them

Ware R. DaiDoe (@ArdoOmer) April 25, 2016

Writer G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel) wrote at the time, Nearly every other woman Ive met in the industry seems to have horror stories about creepy run-ins with male colleagues and creators.

Shortly after, former DC editor Heidi MacDonald published an article delving into why comics publishing had such an entrenched problem with sexual harassment. Along with her examination of victim-blaming, sexism, and power imbalances in the industry, one underlying point stands out: Before Fowler mentioned Wood by name, MacDonald wrote, It was pretty easy to figure out who she was talking about.

Examples like Allie and Berganza are in the minority because they weren’t just called out by name; they were called out by multiple people in respected positions in the community. In Allie’s case, he actually made a public apology. Most of the time, these allegations remain anonymous, couched in terms of “blind item” gossip and subtweets. Women in the industry may share private warnings about “known” harassers, but it’s rare for industry employees to come forward and name names.

I haven’t bought a DC title since the news story broke and don’t intend to until @DCComics gets their act together with how they treat women

Black Girl Nerds (@BlackGirlNerds) May 10, 2016

Working in comics is a precarious career. The medium is collaborative, people spend years (if not entire careers) as low-wage freelancers, and most of the steady jobs are at a small handful of companies. Those who have discussed abuse also raise concerns about being ostracized for speaking up. That’s why many female writers and artists have said they rely on word-of-mouth warnings, feeling unable to trust publishers to effectively hold harassers accountable.

Comics watchdogs and reporters, however, have been pursuing the harassment issue for years, and DC Comics most recent statement, though unsatisfying to many, indicates the company is aware its an issue readers are closely watching.

Ellen Page - September 26, 2017

Past Conan Appearances:

October 7, 2015 - 

Naming Plants (link)

People started sending Page pictures of their pets and plants via Twitter, asking her to name them.

She describes her cacti-naming powers as visceral and the words of God. 

Coming Out and LGBT+ Activism (link)

Page announced she was gay at a human rights conference.

A year later, she was presented with the Vanguard Award by the HRC for her activism for LGBT+ rights and equality, for which she also had to give a speech. 

The nature of her nerves for these two speeches were very different.

She is grateful to the HRC because they’ve provided her with opportunities in her current life (i.e. having a girlfriend whom she loves and can fantasize about a future with). 

Freeheld, the film she was promoting at the time, is about a lesbian woman who is denied the right to give her girlfriend pension benefits after she is diagnosed with stage IV cancer. 

Page couldn’t imagine being in the closet and playing this role. 

Characters in the film are based on real people. 

Conan Stand-Up Routine (link)

When she was 23, Page made a submission tape of her stand up for Conan’s show and posted it on YouTube. 

Her first joke was about an anarchist who won’t eat honey because she disagrees with the politics of the hive. 

The second joke was about how one side of the Canadian coin is the queen’s face, while the other is a beaver. 

May 23, 2014 - 

Dreams (link)

Wrote on Twitter about analyzing her dreams.

Has a lot of anxiety-filled dreams about having a strongly excessive amount of pubic hair. 

(Conan mentions his mother-in-law is skilled at interpreting dreams.)

Page had a dream that her and Justin Bieber, a fellow Canadian, were spending time in his Canadian abode, when his mom returned to the house with take out food from Ikea, much to the excitement of Page and Bieber.

A lookalike website matched Bieber to one of Page’s old photos.

Fight scenes + Superpowers (link)

Her character in X-Men is Kitty Pride, a character which does not participate in fight scenes.

One of her friends, who holds a double blackbelt in karate, showed her how to knock someone out while barely touching them (if at all). The friend demonstrated this trick on the waiter. 

June 4, 2013 - 

Juggling + Environmentalism (link)

Learned how to juggle because she spent too much time on film sets and had no friends and demonstrated her juggling talents on-air.

Promoting The East, a film about a group of activists who are passionate about going after evil corporations, but there is an outsider trying to infiltrate their group. 

Activists in the film practice Freeganism, which involves completely removing oneself from capitalism (i.e. taking food from a dumpster, preparing and eating it).

In preparation for this role and in line with her own environmental interests, Page spent two weeks at Lost Valley, practicing Permaculture, which involves living in a cyclical manner that mirrors nature.

Canadian Identity (link)

Page is a native Nova Scotian, so it makes her comfortable that hockey is becoming more popular in L.A.

Found a McLobster sandwich in Nova Scotia, which are apparently sold during certain points in the summer.

Page used to play hockey.

Other talk show appearances (sorted in reverse chronological order):

The Late Late Show with James Corden (March 1, 2016) (link)

Page used to write fake love letters to pretend people, and she always signed the letters as “Jordan.”

After coming out, she realizes this Jordan character may have been foreshadowing her lesbian identity.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (May 28, 2013) (link)

Promoting The East.

Page was wearing a Keith Richards shirt, but she confesses she’s never met Keith Richards and she’s not a diehard Rolling Stones fan.

Bike The Vote L.A. Report Card - Mayoral Candidate David Saltsburg

2017 Mayoral Candidate Report Card: David “Zuma Dogg” Saltsburg

Primary Election day: Tuesday, March 7, 7am-8pm Find your polling place: http://lavote.net/locator

Vision for Livable Communities: F Prioritization of Safety: C Commitment to Equity: F Commitment to Collaboration: F Overall Bike The Vote LA Grade: F

For anyone involved in L.A. local politics, City Hall gadfly David Saltsburg, a.k.a. “Zuma Dogg,” is a familiar face and voice for his non-sequitur and profane outbursts during public comment at City Council meetings. We appreciate his response to our questionnaire from the perspective of someone who has commuted by bike on L.A.’s difficult streets, but Zuma Dogg doesn’t have the knowledge, perspective, or temperament to be considered a serious candidate to lead Los Angeles.

(See below for Zuma Dogg’s response to Bike The Vote L.A.)

1. In 2015, Los Angeles approved Mobility Plan 2035, the first update to the Transportation Element of its General Plan since 1999. Mobility Plan 2035 puts “safety first” in transportation decisions, and provides a vision for a transportation system composed of safe and quality transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and automotive options. How would you like to see this Plan implemented, and how do you envision Los Angeles’ transportation system in 2022 at the end of the next Mayoral term?

My main concern, as a biker, myself, is; drivers making turns, who do not give a final look before pulling away; as biker with right of way, is coming through. I spent over six years, as bike/bus only in L.A. Never had a problem biking along side of road, with or without a bike lane. It's cars who don't stop for bikers, with a bike lane or not that have hit me, multiple times.

2. How can Los Angeles catch up to peer cities such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle in terms of quality of roadway infrastructure and bicycle-friendliness?

We can't catch up. L.A. is very different, geographically, to begin with; and we will never be able to change that. But, we can continually improve our own roadway infrastructure.

3. On August 24, 2015, Mayor Garcetti signed Executive Directive 10, setting ‘Vision Zero’ as a policy for Los Angeles, with the goal of eliminating traffic-related deaths within 10 years. In order to meet this goal, LADOT identified a “High Injury Network” to prioritize safety improvements on L.A.’s most dangerous streets. However, after a year and a half, we have seen very little concrete action to reduce transportation-related deaths on City streets. What do you see as the critical hurdles for improving safety on Los Angeles streets, and how would you work to address these impediments in reducing speeding in order to save lives?

The city can't tie it's own shoelaces, because there is no quality management at L.A. City Hall. Those who have followed my campaign, and overall activism at city hall over past decade know that my number one goal as mayor; on day one; is to implement the 14 points of quality and productivity; that many of you know about. You can make all the demands and even turn them into plans. But, then; how do you achieve any of these goals when the system to achieve any and all goals is broken to the point where there isn't even really a system. It's called leadership; and it's something we haven't seen at city hall in a long time. Read my 14 point plan on my website.

4. In 2011 the City of Los Angeles adopted a Bicycle Master Plan identifying a network of bike lanes to make bicycle commuting a safe and comfortable commuting option. However, after most easy-to-install bike lanes were implemented, the City largely stopped pursuing reconfigurations of roads to accommodate bike lanes on streets where the number of travel lanes might be affected. Since Mayor Garcetti took office, implemented bike lane miles have plummeted from 251 in FY2013-14 and 120 in FY2014-15 to 38 in FY2014-15 and a mere 17 in FY2015-16. Do you see a network of bicycle infrastructure as an important component to making Los Angeles a bike-friendly city? If so, what will your administration do within the next Mayoral term to accelerate the development of a comprehensive network of bike lanes in Los Angeles?

if L.A. is to be a bike friendly city; then more needs to be done. A lot more. Based on these questions, it seems like the main problem is a messed up, inefficient, wasteful system; of do nothingness. To accelerate the goals you mention; it takes the will and intent of the mayor; and then council -- and again, we must implement quality and productivity (14 points) at city hall. I think the bike community is seeing that. AND, I am very big on an education campaign (bus signs/public service ads) -- reminding drivers that they have to stop for bikers in intersections; and it's not a movie stunt scene to try and clear the biker, without hitting them. I will be that spokesperson, as mayor; or simply as Zuma Dogg, if you want me to do it.

5. Much emphasis in transportation engineering has been placed in recent years on protected bike lanes and protected intersections. New York City began installing modern parking-protected bicycle lanes in 2007. Los Angeles has started to follow suit, installing short stretches of protected bike lanes in the 2nd Street Tunnel, on Reseda Blvd, on westbound Venice Blvd, on Los Angeles Street, and on southbound Van Nuys Blvd. But with many of these installations limited to ½-mile segments, separated by many miles across a large city, and no protected intersections implemented in Los Angeles; they hardly represent a viable backbone to support bicycle commuting for all ages and skill levels. How do you plan to implement the protected bike lane network envisioned in Mobility Plan 2035, seeing as so far only about 1.1 lane miles of the 300 planned lane miles have been been built in the year and a half since the Plan was adopted? When can Angelenos expect to rely on a system of protected bike lanes to get them around Los Angeles, as commuters now do in New York and Chicago?

The same response, as above, applies here; but I must say; bikers cannot expect L.A. to be the bikers utopia we'd like. The city is a car city, more than any of these other cities mentioned. The streets were not designed to be a bike city. We're trying to jam a square peg. The city doesn't have a magic wand. I do believe that city hall wants L.A. to add as many bike lanes, as possible; if for no other reason than to make driving traffic so bad; people take mass transit. They even publicly say so. So, when they do part of a bike lane...then some is exposed without a lane; then back to a lane...we as bikers (and again, though I have a car, now; too; just went over six years without a car, in L.A., and only got a car this past year. So, I spent past six or seven years on bike only. But, I'm not an unrealistic, nutty crybaby, either. And, I remind you, I've been hit by cars several times on my bike.

6. A 2014 report by the L.A. Times noted a rise in hit & run crimes against people on bikes in Los Angeles. What action will your administration take – both at the local level and in working with State legislators – to reduce hit & run crimes?

The start is an education campaign. Everyone knows what happens when you are caught drinking and driving. Or, these days;  people know you don't leave pets in unattended cars, due to heat. We need an education campaign, and a huge on on radio/tv/newspaper/billboards about watching for bikers -- and if you hit and run; it's as big a crime as hitting a vehicle driver.

7. Bike share systems have been implemented across Los Angeles, but as systems expand to different areas of Los Angeles and neighboring cities, experts foresee three major obstacles: stations that are discontinuous/too far apart, stations with unsafe walking conditions that limit access, and systems that are out of reach for low-income residents. What areas would you like to see bike share expanded to within Los Angeles, and what should the City be doing to make these systems more accessible, affordable, and useful to all Angelenos?

It's not going to be more affordable. It's gonna be an expensive, rip-off from a price standpoint. it's like saying, "how will you make popcorn and drinks at movie theater more affordable for low-income residents. It's not the same as public transportation, yet. Just a tourist thing. If they are all discontinuous; that's because departments and agencies don't have a quality and productivity plan (like a flow chart) to make things work together. Clearly, needs to be one, citywide system; that is continuous for the user. Darn, forgot to mention huge peeve of mine: city needs to issue notice; then enforce for Uber/Lyft drivers who use bike lanes as valet zones. Ive made my presence felt w these drivers, many times; while biking around them, into traffic. But, im running for mayor; so wont say HOW i make my presence felt. ;)
