Just watched 'I Swear' last night. ★★★★✩✩✩
Did a decent job of showing how massively fucking inconvenient living with Tourettes is, but focused far too much on the fact that John's parents are/were cunts and not nearly enough on the work he's done as a campaigner in later life.
Essentially just a dramatisation of the vastly superior documentary. Besides the last 20 or so minutes, the whole thing is essentially just a series of funny/sad skits about Tourettes
Maxine Peake's Scoatish accent is fucking disgraceful. Peter Mullen felt underused. Dot's cancer storyline felt utterly irrelevant in the context of the feature film and a lot of the other situations felt like they were shoehorned in just because they're things that happened.
Would have been a far better film if they had condensed his early life into the first half, got rid of the drugs/slut/crowbar/cancer bollocks and dedicated the whole second half to his campaigning.
Still, miles better than Dead Man's Wire. Couldn't even finish that steaming turd.

I think you'll find there's a fair bit of grey area in how road laws apply to cyclists
and how people behave in practice, and hence why police take a very laissez faire attitude to enforcement. That's why they generally don't fine children for cycling on the pavement to school (Rule 64 of the Highway Code), and why most cyclists don't exercise their right to block off a lane of traffic and hold all the cars up. So they're certainly not assigning detectives to track down youtube cycling posters, no matter the sanctimony it generates

so, you'll just ignore everything I said explaining why police don't tend to prosecute cyclists even when things happen in front of them
bit like how they dont prosecute drivers who fail to give 1.5m of space if overtaking cyclists as required by the highway code, nor the endless vids of them doing this with their licences plates visible. Or jaywalking.
Sanctimony in this instance is being critical or condemnatory with the inference of moral or ethical superiority, e.g. b3ta.com/links/1630356. In my view it's the dopamine hit this gives people that drives the majority of internet comment.

Valuing your own kind is an irrational, emotional drive of our semi-evolved monkey brain goo, not a logical precept that emerges out of data synthesis.
