Back around 1993 at the beginning of my second failed attempt at higher education I found myself working in a bar in Carbondale, Illinois. I quickly became the boss's favorite bouncer.

He keeps doing things I like which makes my "all billionaires suck" stance difficult to defend.

I used to do stuff like this but I called it "being blackout drunk."

Win or lose, I think we can all agree on this outcome.

Paraphrasing some dialog from Star Trek TNG: Q: "What do I have to do to convince you that I'm mortal?" Worf: "Die." You say you're sorry, Marge? Resign and spend your remaining days volunteering for David Hogg. And then maybe I'll believe you're sorry.

JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was not born to use the computer… I was born to ride the rubble horse cart and clamber atop a ramshackle contraption

Bicycle commute number 88. I missed one. And then I missed a week due to weather. And then I took a week off. And I think this is addicting.

I read somewhere that a burn-out is "the sum of all the "fuck you" that you had to keep to yourself" and I think it's pretty accurate.

Yeah but I can't buy TALO seasoning from Penzy's.

I'm looking forward to The Big Short 2: Crypto Bros www.npr.org/2025/05/19/n...

A new banner graces the neighborhood archway that has inexplicably been installed in an alleyway amongst a bunch of dumpsters. Just WTF does "Now rock in 3 days" mean?

A foreign government is giving US President Donald Trump a gilded 747. Has anyone established a betting pool for how many foreign intelligence agencies have installed various types of listening devices in this thing?

Bicycle commute number 55. The first double header commute for the year. I get to see some pretty neat stuff on the way home from work. It's also there on the way to work but it's harder to see it then because it's kinda dark when I'm on the way in.

Bicycle commute number 48. First commute for 2025, first commute in my new #bikelaneuprising windbreaker. Whipping through the predawn dark with The Who's Quadrophenia playing on my new #JBL speaker felt great. Love, reign o'er me.

True story.

I've been taking advantage of the mild weather to get in some warm up rides before bicycle commute season starts. Spotted this on the North Branch trail.

Meanwhile in my neighborhood people discuss the best way to get rid of the local homeless camp. Throw all their possessions in a dumpster or light them on fire and then throw them in a dumpster?

"Broligarchs." 🤣

How would you rate Rolling Stone magazine's journalistic integrity?

It's easy to spot my bike because it's the only one on the lake with a headlight.

Motorcycles on ice. Haven't been out for five years between covid and climate change. Going for a double header this weekend.

"I'll just clear the stairs off real quick" turned into "why am I shoveling snow in Crocs" before I realized what I was doing.

They let me have WWSD 666. Even sent me another set when they changed the design of the plates. youtu.be/2TuKlPVxe5g?...

Nice job messing up Lewis Hamilton's final race with Mercedes @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social

Has anyone done a Punisher skull wearing a hoodie yet?

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

If Musk and that other * want to do something useful they can get rid of pennies, singles, and fifties.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

It's warm enough that all the dog poop is thawing out so that's nice.
