If You Want To Be Friends, Then Why Aren’t You Friendly?
It’s a very common lament: that there is no civility left these days, as compared to earlier days, and the main reason appears to be that those on the “left” refuse to be friends with those on the “right,” shunning them simply because of their political views.
I had to go and buy something and so I hopped onto my #bike and made sure that I had my #BikeLock with me. Got to the shop, only to realize that I'd forgotten the bike lock keys! They're on the same keyring as my car keys and separate from my house keys. I could have risked popping into the shop and hoping that it would be ok but there was a fellow #cyclist who had also just arrived. I asked him if he wouldn't mind just looking after my #cycle while I was away for two minutes. Happily he agreed and we parted with a friendly farewell. It is nice to have #civility confirmed in daily life now and again. #CyclistsHelpCyclists

Not a lot of narrations, just brief intros and the essence of the Biden and Roy Wood Jr.
The comment at the end, however, is very true and important. As educators say, "contrast and compare" - against TFG.
