It still had my bike bag on it, which moved it from “pretty sure” to “certain enough to chase that fucker down”. I was told after that the guy was well-known to the cops and had done this before but it’s hard to prove that the guy riding a new bike every day is stealing them. Something you can do is register your bike’s serial number to make it easier to tell if a bike is stolen.
I had my bike stolen and saw someone riding it the next day. I chased him down and grabbed my bike and cops showed up and handled the situation, but it was a dumb idea because I had no idea what state of mind the guy was in and if he was carrying any weapons.
Yeah. Basically, he’ll push back on every good idea until he can’t anymore and it succeeds, and then take credit for it. He’s an establishment capital-L Liberal that doesn’t care about the working class or wealth inequality or anything of the sort.
Well shit. Prepare for “At least we’re not Trump” once a-fucking-gain in 2028. He does not signal change in the party

In a Danish book version of The Far Side, the caption on this cartoon was changed from “Louie, Louie” to “Singing in the Rain.”
My only guess as to why they did this was that “Louie, Louie” was more a national hit than international and the song just didn’t register with the Danes.
And, for all intents and purposes, “Singing in the Rain” is pretty funny.
Anyone from Denmark around to comment?
This doesn’t directly answer your question, but things would probably get very weird compared to our universe. Here’s an interactive visualization of a different weird universe with two time dimensions, Dichronauts by Greg Egan:

He really goes through the math on that site, so you might get some insight into how other topologies would look

THE EXHIBIT
I drew a cartoon quite a few years ago entitled, “The Real Reason Dinosaurs Became Extinct.” The drawing involved a small clique of dinosaurs hanging out together and smoking cigarettes.
That cartoon stayed in my sketchbook for almost a year until, pressed for ideas one week, I dug it out and submitted it for publication. And, lo and behold, it became one of the most popular cartoons I’ve ever drawn. Obviously, if I’d had any idea of its potential impact, I never would have sat on it for as long as I did.
The following and final section of this book, however, does not include the cartoon just described—nor any cartoon from The Far Side based simply on its known popularity, which would turn this into a sort of “Hit Parade” of weird humor.
Simply put, the following cartoons are among my own personal favorites. They’re the ones that I feel best reflect something about my own attitude toward history, music, literature, art, religion, and science. (Yeah, sure they do.) I’ve rarely laughed out loud at the things I’ve drawn (I’m a little too close to the “joke” to ever be surprised), but these are the cartoons that at least made me smile inwardly. (I might mention that some favorites are in the main body of the book and are not repeated here.)
A final note: I contemplated making this last section a collection of what I consider the lousiest cartoons I’ve ever drawn, but space was limited.
Trump can pardon them for anything and everything at a federal level, and the current Supreme Court says you can do nothing about it. That makes whoever the president favors above the law.
