Dear ICE Agents, You may feel like you have immunity, but that's Federal. When you murder someone, that is a state crime. No federal pardon. No statute of limitations. Your time will come.

We might want to think about a US, or even international, #AlexPretti one-day memorial ride once the weather starts to turn. He was one of us. #bikesky

Oh no. Oh dear.

1/3 They are not Republican, MAGA, or DINO. They are co-conspirators if they - support the harassment, detention, or deportation of others without due process - support the invasion of an ally by treaty - support the taxation without representation through executive ordered tarrifs (more)

Anyone here ride the Tucson Loop? I'm looking to head down in late March and rent a bike for a few days. Anyone got any tips? #bikesky

My wife is having ankle surgery next month and will be non-weight-bearing. She just picked up her kneeling scooter. I am going to add my front light, Varia rear light, bell, and computer. I'll be either be really funny or there will be couch time. 😈 #bikesky

I propose referring to any Republican as "co-conspirator" instead of "Senator", "Representative", "Governor" etc. Calling them names isn't enough. Hopefully calling them co-conspirators repeatedly enough will help them realize they're supporting criminal acts.

First ever ftp test on the trainer. Wow. I am weak sauce having not really ridden since early December. 😒 Need to start training if I want the miles this year. #bikesky

#Pittsburgh needs to see this. Years ago some dbag took our local little league organization to court repeatedly. Tl:Dr he couldn't even get served a drink in the neighborhood. I'm not advocating violence. Any Yinzer working for ice should be similarly socially ice-olated

Another Welfie selfie for #caturday

After an especially shit-tastic day, I'm treating myself. My dad's family is from Detroit, and my dad introduced me to the Boston Cooler. I just had an alcoholic one with vanilla whiskey ice cream and ginger beer. Sure, it's not Vernor's ginger ale. It's still effing OUTSTANDING!

It's the Orca Mafia sending us a message. Keep messing with their house and we'll sleep with the fishes.

#Pittsburgh #Steelers with a TD. Screw the Brotherly Shove. That's Philly. Steelers use the Jumbo On White package. If you know, you know.

Only 28 days to the first sign of spring! 1. Groundhog Day 2. My next door neighbor is seen in public for the first time since December 3. Pitchers and catchers report.

Trying to update my Mazda navigation data. Either their network connection is configured using a 2400 baud modem or they're running everything through AWS US-EAST-1. Lord is this slooooewwwwww.

Happy New Year #Pittsburgh! To ring in 2026, Mother Nature has brought us road conditions with a rating of 8 pairs of Tighty Whiteys. Be careful out there.

Happy 2026. Looks like I'll be splitting my team in half in January with one group handling Cloud Security and the other handling Secrets Management. Cloud Security alone is a growth area, and Secrets Management looks to be three years of solid work to get to general adoption #cybersecurity

Interesting

Are we looking at this wrong? Are the metrics solely bike riders in bike lanes, or should they be bike lanes + bike parking utilization? Riders are one thing, but riders riding to destinations is a measurable monetary metric. #bikesky

Now that I'm Canadian, happy Boxing Day, eh?

1/2 Morgan Stanley, WTF? They sent a FedEx overnight on Dec 23rd with an end of year requirement. It's still in Chicago. The 800# on the FedEx package is wrong. I finally find and call the right office. I explain that I'm calling as the beneficiary of my deceased father's IRA that they manage.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath

The #Steelers need to abandon the "Jumbo Package" and adopt the "Jumbo On White" package as a replacement. Convince me I'm wrong. #Pittsburgh

Woot! Escape plan, engaged. Canada's passing of bill C-3 changed citizenship by descent, and since my grandfather was born in Canada, I am now a citizen. I just need to fill out the form, send $75 for processing, and I get my citizenship certificate. Trump is a hoser, eh?

My kids tell me I'm a white 2x minority who can pass. Fortunately I just found a new insurance policy. My grandfather was born in Canada and they just changed the citizenship by descent laws. Looks like my boys and I are Canadian now. Hey Orange man, take off you hoser!

Serious props to three bicyclists out in #Pittsburgh tonight. We just had a flash freeze and the streets were am absolute shitshow between 4pm amd 6pm. Most of the sidestreets are still icy. I passed two bikes riding up Wilkins at around 7pm. #bikesky

My new slogans/taglines 1. A bike in a bike lane is one less car in front of you 2. That bicyclist could be your neighbor. Be my neighbor. (I live in Pittsburgh, home of Mr. Rogers) 3. Want to be happier? Ride a bike! 4. Two wheels, fewer pills. Got others? #bikesky

Bicycling is a blessing and a curse. Here's my indoor training/work meeting/charging setup. [insert benevolent deity here] I hate indoor riding, but Solstice is just around the corner. #bikesky

My new #cybersecurity substack bruceparr.substack.com?r=ttvgx&utm_...

Some asshat created an Ebay seller account using my Gmail account. I saw it had my physical address and everything. Great start to my day.

How to Ask Execs to Spend on Security I was on a four person conference panel with three CISOs/execs. The article is my extended response to the question asking how we convince executives to spend money on security. open.substack.com/pub/brucepar... #cybersecurity

In Chicago, and with 7° temps this morning, remembering why I don't miss Chicago. #shrinkage

There's rain, sleet, ice, and snow. What else could result in "Undefined Wintry Mix"? #Pittsburgh

Weller channeling Superman when he's not busy impersonating Lex Luthor #caturday

New wheel day. Industry Nine 1/1 GRCX with Gravelking SS 40mm tan walls. Hands hurt from trying to get the tires on, and broke a tire lever as well. Cassette installation was also a challenge for some reason. Done though, and hoping for a first ride next weekend. #bikesky

RSUs already cut way back at my employer, with more cuts coming. Meanwhile my employer just sued a former senior exec, asking for the return of $6mm in vested stock. Sick of this BS. I'm starting to look.

Eagerly awaiting my new Industry Nine 1/1 GRCX wheelset. Just got rim tape, brake rotors and a 3/8" torque wrench for the install. Lighter weight Gravelking SS 40mm tires and a higher engagement hub should help a bit on the climbs. #bikesky

One of my favorite bike lane protests: 1) Clearly demonstrates the issue 2) Proposes a systemic solution 3) Creates content that can be spread and shared easily 4) Does so with humor and heart

1/2 Thank you to the driver who let me zipper merge on Friday afternoon on Wightman from Beacon toward Hobart. The bike lane just disappears mid-bock and merges into the main traffic lane. I climbed, signaled, looked left, saw the driver back off, and merged. (more) #bikesky #Pittsburgh

Another Nardoozy. #Pitt #Pittsburgh

Pet peeve. Leaf blowers creating leaf piles in the bike lanes plus blowing mold spores everywhere. No idea what's in or under the leaves that I'll hit or slide on, plus elevating my allergies like crazy. #bikesky #Pittsburgh

Had a nice Italian Nebbiolo wine last week at dinner. Given we live in #Pittsburgh, I think it's misspelled. It should be Italyinz Nebby-olo.

1/2 Nice fall ride Amazing how much faster I can go without the additional weight of those pesky water bottles. I was so pumped to get out and ride, I left them on the porch. I'm such a dumbass. (more) #bikesky #Pittsburgh

1/2 It's the behavior, stupid... We need to rethink the generalizations. In the constant battle between car and bike, we need to remember that it's more the behavior of the driver vs. the behavior of the cyclist. I have had my share of close calls no matter how safely I try to ride. (more) #bikesky

From now on, I am referring to all MAGA issues as driven by President Vance. If everyone else does, the elected SCROTUS will either stroke out or fire his VP for taking the limelight.

Holy cow. IU 27-24 over Penn State with an incredible final 4 minutes

While doomscrolling another site, I discovered the term "Data Lakehouse". Having never heard this term before, I fully envisioned data systems managed by DBAs in Adirondack chairs.
