Back in my day when the rain didn't show for a while the lawn got a little brown. If it got bad enough we got out the hose and set up a sprinkler for a few hours. Did that a few times a week if need be. Somehow, reader, I survived.

roses are red big laughs are hearty

A lot of people do not realize how violent the UAE is. Part of the reason is the mainstream media calls the conflict in Sudan a “civil war” without mentioning UAE’s interest in the destruction. Part of the reason is their effective sports-washing. Don’t let it blind you aje.io/kxbzs9

I do love bein home to get smashed on a chiller cruise by this guy

“I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell” - Trump to the UN

Just got told I was “performing masculinity” bc I was reading a book so now I’m back to being a good normative male microposting online

Im curious how the masked federal agents phenomenon squares with the right to bear arms and self defense? If someone shoots a masked person with a gun pulling them out of a car, are they (in theory) legally liable when that person turns out to be one of trumps vigilante terrorists?

<record scratch> You're probably wondering how a dog like me got himself into this situation

Come onnnn romo!! #lavuelta25

I don't like trumps tariffs for many reasons, but I just bought something worth 170 € from outside the EU and paid 70 € in customs and duties. That 40%!

Ganador de la etapa de la vuelta a España de hoy, 3 de septiembre de 2025: La decencia.

i dunno i think it might be the exact opposite of that

Even if Israel Premier-Tech were kicked out of #LaVuelta25, it would still be justified to protest it. The problem is not one team's sponsor - it's that we can live completely normal lives of sports, cute insta pics and all the rest while a genocide is being committed with our implicit support.

I was conflicted about the efficacy of the protests for Palestine at #LaVuelta25. Forcing the race to cancel a stage risks turning many against you. But the point of protest is to disrupt normality, and what better thing to disrupt than a frivolous bike race that millions are watching? ✊

Record labels and artists should team up to create a cooperatively owned streaming service. Like the NFL or NBA or Visa but for music. Tidal could have been it until Jack Dorsey purchased it for toilet paper

I am hearing reports from Matteo that the course is not as simple as I thought today. Sounds like it is very techy and also wet 😬. Should be interesting #VueltaLIVE

The voters can remain irrational longer than the country can remain solvent

Lidl-Trek burned one too many riders during the day if you ask me. #VueltaLIVE

Does it make me a bad person that I love to watch Philipsen get dropped? #VueltaLIVE

I don’t really understand why the US can’t force all companies operating in the US to cease all operations and sales in Russia? You could basically cut the country off from every digital service, or the internet at a whole. Not to mention the fact that you can still buy western made goods there

#LaVuelta25 #VueltaLIVE Stage 1: Turin → Novara, 188km The 80th Vuelta a España begins! Opening sprint stage through northern Italy with one climb early on, then a long flat run to the finish. First chance to grab stage glory and slip into red 🔴

Trying a new thing in the Pro Cycling Chatter feeds pinning a little stage introduction for La Vuelta. Open to feedback if people like it or find it annoying to have it pinned at the top there? Lmk your thoughts!

Test test #VueltaLIVE

Guess who’s back! De nuevo 😎

iMessage and Signal should add stories and broadcast groups. I want a private version of instagram stories to keep up with my friends. No ads, no farming my data, no BS. Just an easy way to share funny shit and see what friends r doing

Trump and Putin met in Alaska for traditional whale blubber hand jobs from townies in anchorage and then got back on their jets and went home. No eye contact was made

Having a real race through Paris is way way better than the parade we got in the past. They should do this every year! #tdf25

I have to say I am astounded by my little brother’s mental strength. Racing that hard while having bronchitis for two weeks is unimaginable to me. I was happy to see the determination pay off today! #tdf25

This is why we need Bluesky for Biking! bikepacking.com/plog/when-we...

Man, if only they’d gone to brain genius school, Visma would be mopping the floor with Tadej. His 105 vo2, undefeated season and unlimited budget are nothing in the face of simple tactics!

it's ciclismo baby

Visma have dropped UAE baby! Satellite rider ahead! let's goooo #tdf25

Where’d van aert go? #tdf25

Brian criticizes Visma when they attack UAE and criticizes them when they sit on and get satellite riders up the road. It’s always “playing right into their hands”. I’m not here to defend, but for the sake of the commentary it would be cool to hear what he thinks they _should_ do? #tdf25

Matteo! Don’t close wellens! Let him sit out there as long as you can :) #tdf25

nooooooooooooooo www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If trump puts 20% tariffs on the EU, they should impose extremely heavy tax or restrict US tech companies from operating here. Meta, Google, X, etc are extracting massive value (monetary and attentional) from the EU free of charge right now

Omfg Alaphilippe thought he won 😂 #tdf25

I don’t fully understand why Wellens was allowed to sit on the break? #tdf25

Jonas dropped? What happened?? #tdf25

I wouldn’t call yesterday a disaster. Visma put everything on the line and it didn’t work. It was their only way to win and they sent it BIG. I hate when teams ride for 2nd. Visma played every card they had, and took some losses. But they tried!

The hero we need

Floyd Landis 2006 comeback raid no gap is too big no glycogen store is too small just believeeeeee

Insane performance from Pogacar again. I hope this guy donates his body to science bc god damn I’m curious what is going on in his genes

So what was SOQ’s plan then? Unreal the amount of criticism Visma is getting for their tactics when not a single one of the other teams tried anything at all.

I love the board game Risk, because when one player gets too strong, the other players gang up on them and it evens back out. Grand tours need this kind of rebalancing effect, it is the beauty of a multi-team sport! But it’s too often ruined by sub-competitions

On the one hand, MJ had a bad day. On the other hand, it doesn’t look like he could have influenced today’s stomping anyway. … and now he’s unleashed :) #tdf25

Welcome to the resistance. #classicsgrandtour #tdf25
