Is it normal for Gatorskins to delam like this when they are nearing end of life? #bikesky

When someone on the left says to liberals like me “you’re totally mistaken about X because you’ve been fed lies and propaganda” I’m reminded how ineffective a strategy it must be when we try to do it to those on the right.

Still trying to get trained up for the Bovine Classic. About 4 weeks out. 50 miles on the road yesterday. 30 miles on the dirt today. Hardest weekend in a while.

I get that this is very man screams at clouds, but I also believe we need to fight to preserve space for different kinds of communication, because they represent different methods of thinking—and because if there is a rule for this time, it’s that our current platforms will decay and become obsolete

Black Rabbit is a very good show. That’s also seriously stressing me out.

My former colleague is one of 100s, (1000s?) who cross the US-Mexico border to work each day on an H1B. This is really bad for San Diego-Tijuana.

But I believe in this and it's been tested by research He who fucks nuns will later join the church

No new pictures, were you at mentally?

This is just a note for note remake of the language that authoritarian regimes around the world use to justify crackdown on media. Obligation to… Community values… etc etc.

The organization will not love you back, part infinity...

Quick reminder that their U of Chicago president called the Gaza protest camp inherently threatening because the word camp had military origins.

I can’t remember a show that started as strong and then went as consistently downhill as Invasion.

I think it’s bad that there are people out there who believe you’re gonna get black bagged for signing up for an Indivisible protest with three million other people. That feels like people are afraid of the regime in a way that both overestimates its power and grants it more power.

Ok I finally decided to follow the well worn advice to get the weight off my back on my commute. Thinking rear rack and single pannier would do the trick. My e-bike has MIK which I like, so considering that. Any thoughts, things to think about, gear you love? #bikesky

At some point the stock markets are going to catch up with the market markets, right?

I feel like when I look something up to see when it was invented there’s only two answers. 1850 or the Egyptians did it.

This is reminding me of the part of Bad Blood where the author pointed out that it was other women and almost always *only* other women who saw through the bullshit the attractive blonde was selling.

RIP Robert Redford Three Days of the Condor is my recommendation for somewhat lesser known film where he absolutely shines.

there are going to be a non zero number of academics who have been droning on about their annoyance with progressive students and administrators and colleagues who are not going to like where those complaints are taking them

I would love to know if there has been an increase in hit-and-run vs. hit-and-stay for car vs. pedestrian/bike crashes. It feels like hit-and-run used to be the exception and now it’s the norm.

Pretty sure nice words from a Deputy Secretary of State aren’t going to be enough to mollify the South Koreans.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
