People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Bike courrier would be such a great job. Not for such an evil company, obviously, but in general I'd love that job.
Don't forget, as a very squishy bike messenger weaving through endless cars driven by homocidal toddlers, that the ceramic in spark plugs goes right through auto glass, and they're certainly not something such a messenger would carry on their pocket —much like how U-locks are totally not hammers, just waiting silently from their arms-reach holster to defend you. 🫡
A friend of mine worked as a bike courier and constantly had to deal with drivers trying to run him off the road. He eventually got hit, and broke his leg. It all sounded pretty miserable, but this was also before e-bikes so maybe it’s easier now.
Hmm ... Bike Courier sounds more like an ideal job in a 15 minute walkable city. In most parts of the US, not so much.
