The thing is, on a hot day, the Mall decimates families just trying to walk from the Capitol to the Air and Space. It’s bigger and hotter than anyone thinks.

When I would talk to my Kazakh friends about the corruption of the Nazarbayev family, who stole billions, they would use the Kazakh word “шексіз”, shekciz, or limitless. Seems apt.

This philanthropy moves tens of millions of dollars each year. How much do you suppose they paid their consultants to come up with these?

Hope the folks from the Gaslamp through Chula Vista are pacing themselves through this delay or it’s going to get drunk ugly out there 🙂

Lots of valid criticism of the “let’s run everything like a business” but also what these guys really, really can’t understand is that educating a child is orders of magnitude more difficult than delivering a package.

Congrats the the guy at the Padres-Dodgers game who was not only wearing an SF Giants jersey, but a Joc Pederson SF Giants jersey. Your judgement is impeccable on all fronts.

I love how some folks think that people who are trying to change things for the better need to hear that x won’t work, that y is too hard, that too many people won’t let z happen. Dude, I promise you I’ve got a voice in my brain already telling me that 10 times a day.

Has anyone else had speed wobble problems with Hunt wheels or other 40 depth wheels? Super not fun for someone who’s already a nervous nellie descender.

This in response to the idea of taxing larger vehicles. If you choose to have a larger vehicle that poses a greater risk to other people and has increased impact on our environment and roads you should pay for that. This isn't a ban on big vehicles; it's telling people to bear those costs.

Good to get back on the Great Western Loop today for first time in a while. Always a harder ride that the numbers would make it seem.

I really hate car-centrism at this point but no, the automobile did not give us Trump. That’s a misdiagnosis that could really steer folks in the wrong direction.

I think we’ve all come to an agreement that tradwife videos are just softcore fetish porn, but also those LinkedIn videos with gorgeous women talking about Google Doc voice notes.

Just saw two more director-level philanthropic positions advertised with $300k+ salaries. If you’re in one of those positions I’m happy for you but to the orgs, we see you and yes we are judging you.

Was talking to a guy at a party in my neighborhood. His daughter is a top basketball recruit. They are fielding offers from colleges for around $500k per year for four years. I don't even know what college sports are supposed to be at this point.

This is just a hilarious statement on multiple levels. “Meta auto-enrolled us in an AI personalization tool that produced an inaccurate and inappropriate alteration of a vendor-provided image in some of our ads,” read the statement from an REI spokesperson.
