I’ve ridden bicycles my entire life, in traffic and out. There are some universal truths. The most important one is if there is a collision, the guy on the bicycle loses. People in cars are sometimes assholes, sometimes they just don’t see you, and sometimes they misinterpret the cyclist’s intentions. The end result in each case is: the guy on the bike gets hurt. The best thing you can do as a cyclist is keep vigilant and expect the worst out of everyone, make sure people in cars can figure out your intentions, stay out of their way and be prepared to react to what others do. A cyclist should not be in the middle of the road or even a lane at all. He should ride near the curb most of the time if he wants to stay safe. If there is a turn lane near the curb, he can move to the other edge of that lane if he’s going straight, to avoid obstructing a turning car. None of that happened in this situation. The cyclist was in the center of the left turn lane, blocking it from any car that wanted to turn left, and he was going straight. The car that hit him could not get around him to the inside and fairly assumed the bicycle was probably turning left based on his position in the lane. Had the bicycle actually turned left, he would not have been hit. Had he been to the right edge of the lane, showing he was not turning left, that car could have easily gotten inside of him to turn with no collision. On top of it all, Mr. Cyclist forgot that he loses all collisions and arrogantly asserted what he thought was his right-of-way. The car made an aggressive, unsafe move, NO DOUBT, but he had a lot less to lose and was more than likely frustrated by this arrogant cyclist who was taking up a whole lane and generally slowing everyone else down for his own convenience. He probably assumed the cyclist was turning left. Bottom line: the cyclist should have valued his own vulnerability higher than he did by watching what the other cars were doing and given more ground to them. He FAFO’d instead. Lesson learned.
Well put.

It's that bad. They made up a fake press conference so they could prove they weren't negligent in the Maui response. Holy shit our government is freaking trash.

Such a bullshit post. That was hot Dana Perino from the white house IN 2007. Not Maui, but California from 16 years ago. Bunch of fake fucks on the Internet.

Edit: Ipaid attention because it was so odd to me that the white house finally has someone good looking speaking for them, then I recognized that it was Dana.

No way 7% watched Tucker and 93% watched fox. You can look at polls that all the pudits put up and it was closer to 60/40 watched Tucker.
The poll was ONLY those who didn't watch. But they buried the lede. In fact, they ignored it. The first question that has to be asked was if they watched the debate. How many said yes, compared to the number that said no and that they watched Tucker instead.

Hint- it wasn't incompetence. If the number was unfavorable to Trump, it would've been posted.

Fox doesn't get those kinds of numbers man. 20 million would be an absolute record night. Almost 100 million watched Tucker that night.

For those who can't tell the difference between views and impressions.

You know who you are


:ROFLMAO: For folks with the brain of single celled organisms, Forbes puts it in perspective.


The high view count doesn’t actually mean that people watched the 46 minute-long interview—or even part of it—as it only refers to the number of views the post got, meaning the number of users logged into X who simply saw the tweet on any platform, regardless of whether they follow Carlson.

X used to make the number of video views public, but appeared to get rid of that feature in May

That means it’s likely far fewer users actually watched Trump and Carlson’s video than the number that viewed the tweet.

The number of direct engagements with the post is significantly lower than the number of views, with 148,000 reposts and 536,800 likes as of 7:00 a.m. Thursday.

Certainly is. The only thing that doesn't count as a view is if it were embedded, such as on facebook or here. It's not one view per person, something that should be apparent to anyone who realizes twitter only has 350 million users worldwide, most of whom have no interest in watching a Donald Trump interview or any other politics related interview, and of course many of whom weren't even online last night at 9 eastern.

Worse, Twitter says the avg engagement rate - watching a video, replying, retweeting, etc - is less than 3%. The "Views" include people who never even clicked on the video, just saw the tweet, and in fact, would include some people who didn't even see the tweet. If it went to someone's timeline, that's included in views, and twitter has no way of knowing if the person actually saw the tweet.

Like the Trump campaign as a whole, the 240 million viewers is a mirage. :ROFLMAO:
You don't have to be a twitter user to watch it.

Those likes are just Russian bot armies paid for by Trump’s campaign. Or so I’ve been told.

🤣😂🤣

What metric is used for the View count?

The main Twitter video view metric is triggered when a user watches a video for at least 2 seconds and sees at least 50% of the video player in-view. This applies to View metrics for both uploaded videos and live broadcasts."

No, that makes it worse. 7% of Republicans who didn't watch the debate watched Trump. That would exclude the 13 million who watched on TV. 7% of all republicans would be more. They didn't bury anything. What it shows is that there was no gigantic mass of people watching Trump, the idea is comical, something Don Maga wants his acolytes to believe. Trump thrives on the low-educated and low IQ, to they'll actually believe more Americans watched an interview with Tuck than watch the Super Bowl. Instead, it's the saame relatively small # of people who watch his rallies on youtube or RSBN, just like his interview on RSBN last month only had a couple hundred thousand total views.

A made-up fraud, just like the rest of the Trump campaign.

Views also includes anyone who sees the tweet, even if retweeted. "View" is not the "view" that shows up on the tweet. "Video views" is a different metric. That's why every tweet - even those with no videos - have a "view" #. Views has nothing to do with people watching the video.

Views also includes anyone who sees the tweet, even if retweeted. "View" is not the "view" that shows up on the tweet. "Video views" is a different metric. That's why tweets with no videos also have a "view" #.

What do you do with all the reaction videos that were watching the interview on YT? You throw all them out too. I've seen YT channels that watched that interview with 200k views. I actually watched it on a livestream on YT instead of X because I wanted to see real time reactions... that dude had 10k live viewers and is a just a small channel.

If you look at all the different places to watch stuff it looks like 80+million watched Tucker. Probably 20 mill watched the debate. Did people watch all of the interview? IDK... but did they watch all of the debate? You don't know.
