Bikes are popular in Seattle, but I'm not sure I'd call it a bike-friendly city. Tons of rain, tons of hills, tons of bridges, tons of crappy roads. We put bike lanes in a bunch of places, but a lot of them still have to go through confusing intersections or only cover part of your commute. Add on the new trend of no-hands driving, it's still pretty dangerous.

Or when a cop punched a 16-year-old girl in the face for yelling at him.
Or when they beat up an old man for getting on a bus with a golf club he was using as a walking stick.
Or when they beat up a guy while yelling "I'm gonna beat the Mexican piss out of you"
Or when they shoot a native dude in the back from 20 feet away because he had a small knife.

That might be more than wishful thinking. Gantz has personally overseen the invasion of Gaza twice, and he joined the war cabinet right after 10/7. He is definitely no friend to Gaza.
Calling him a centrist is only true in that he's slightly left of Bibi, which is saying nothing.
I have a vague memory of listening to him on the radio in NY way back in the day and he was a legit sports analyst. Then a couple years later he showed up on national broadcasts and was completely different. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don't remember him starting as an obnoxious talking head.
Really digging Reign in Slumber. Thanks for the recommendation.
On the topic of Asian metal, Voice of Baceprot just played the Glastonbury festival, which is pretty awesome. All-female Indonesian band.
Also, the dude who works at the gas station down the street introduced me to Minerva, a Bangladeshi metal band.
